the following piece was composed and performed by my wife's uncle, Bob Cox. A long time ago he won a music competition beating, Marty Robbins. Marty often sang with bob's group when he was starting out, and they were friends.
Bob was a heck of a good guy, and he approved of me getting together with his niece.

'Honky Tonk' & 'Western Swing'!

Thank you for posting that - a truly great performance!

Awesome

Gary Stewart was the king of honky tonk music!!

Nope. Waylon & Bob Wills are still the Kings! 🤠

Gary claimed he was!

😁

George Strait’s version of “Milk Cow Blues” was outstanding!

You won’t find any good “honky took” music anywhere on today’s radio,in fact.....you can’t find country music on today’s radio. That crap they call country music today....makes me question, “What d@€n country does it come from”? memtb

Ole Dwight had some damn good music!!!

Yep. Bunch a fuggin Bro Country Rap Hip Hop Gay ass schitt😡

yup

Thanks Roger! One of my favorites!

I can’t look at him now without seein’ Carl Childers bustin’ him upside the head with a lawnmower blade! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of my favorite movies! Ole Dwight played the perfect asswhole

Delbert McClinton is pretty dam good at honky tonk

Another good ole TX blues man & rock & roll singer too from Lubbock, TX !

Yep I loved ol' Delbert's music. HanK Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys was great and he had a mean western swing. Actually, most all of the older country music was honky tonk music. George Jones was one of the best of that. I loved his old song, "She's a Barmaid in the Honky Tonk Down Stairs."

It don’t get too much better than that !!!

Yep that hank was great too.

Here's George Jones:

Give us the songs title.

Thursday evenings you can listen to a show called Honky Tonk Happy Hour on Marfa Public radio (which you can stream online). The host, David Branch, plays great honky tonk music, most of it off of records. It is one of the few shows, tv or radio, that I try and schedule around.

Newbie here. Garth can get it done. Castaway from HPA and canceled out of Duitch's site....too many snowflakes (aka Struopy). Howdy FT

Friends In Low Places

Put another nickel in the jukebox, and play that Truck Driving Man!

Delbert-- Lone Star Blues
Why me
Good man, good woman --with Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt ain't bad either

This floats my boat!

I always liked Red ! Went to a ton of Rodeo dances he performed at back in the good ole days. He’s a good guy, great Cowboy Poet, and does a lot of charity work too.

Cody Jenks is good

Never can post YouTube videos correctly, but Asleep At The Wheel has some pretty good Honkey Tonk Music!

Ray Benson!
Nice Jewish boy from Philadelphia, Neal! Used to set at the bar with us at the Broken Spoke back in the day. Geez that was over 40’years ago. Wasn’t as famous then. Really nice fellow!

Yep! He plays lots of Bob Will’s stuff. Good musician too!

In those days Neal it was Asleep at the Wheel, Leon Raush ( who sang with BW some), Alvin Crow, Johnny Gimble ( another BW veteran), and old Adoph Hofner would play a lot of BW’s stuff!

Johnny Gimble was the last King of TX fiddlers!!!

Mmmm.
I can remember those days in the late 80's.
Young, single and in fantastic physical shape.
I just took what I wanted off the dance floor.
Good times.

I remember when this one was new.
The smell of strange perfume and dolled up hair...mmmm.

I saw Asleep at the Wheel not long ago. They were great.

Thanks Buddy! Good stuff! 🤠

I can't believe no one chose the Stones , and The Honky Tonk Women. If I knew how I'd post it!

Ray’s a big guy! 6’7”

You're welcome.

Asleep At The Wheel is great they've played here in CC several times over the years.

I think it Hick Hop.

I used to listen to Mickey Gilley. visited the original Gilley's Club as a yute.

also liked Jim Ed Brown, and Don Williams.

the Possum!!

Dwight Yoakum is the most under rated talent in country music. Dig deep into his music and you will see what I mean. Anybody listened to "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" and "She Wore Red Dresses" lately? Even more striking is his ability to mimic, and I mean sound exactly like any number of other artists. Unreal.

Jesus H.....I'm from Iowa and I thought at least some of you were rednecks...

Country Honk....a few years before Honky Tonk Woman....

Yep, Gary Stewart was the king of Honky Tonk - saw him a few times (used to plat the Stagecoach in Stamford quite a bit). I love George Strait, but George ain’t honky tonk by a long shot. Johnny Bush is good too.

The Stagecoach in Stamford!!! Good times! 🤠

If you know the Stagecoach, did you ever make the dances at at Rhineland or Benjamin?

Never Did. But the Stagecoach was only 20 miles from the Ranch.

Tony Booth is another singer that’s good.

Amber Digby! That's Honky Tonk at it's best, IMHO! Tony Booth is excellent as well. "The Keys in the Mailbox" and "Lonesome 77203".

There is a Stagecoach Ballroom in Fort Worth. Suppose to be the longest continually ran family dancehall in Texas. Went to see Eddy Raven in January.

Gotta love Patsy Cline, Steel Guitars and Fiddles.
7mm

One of my favorites...

Vern Gosden. “The Voice”. Great stuff!!!

He used to come here & perform quite a bit before he died.
Danced to him & his band many a time. 🤠
