The only 1960s country singer Tom Waits ever liked
A good reflection of the genre.
Merle Haggard
The 1967 song that became Keith Richards’s favourite to play: “There was a wisdom in it”
That jaded country heart.
The one singer Don Henley always wanted to sing with: “A lifetime dream”
The true sounds of the everyman.
The one song Keith Richards never got tired of hearing: “There was a wisdom in it”
Forever on his turntable.
The classic Willie Nelson song that was meant for Merle Haggard: “We’ll never know”
“We’ll never know what would have happened.”
The artists Dolly Parton always wanted to write like: “That’s what I always loved”
The art of simplicity.
