My answer is the same every time this question is asked. Vern Gosdin has the best pure country voice. I do agree Patsy Cline was the greatest female country sing of all time.
I wonder if Vern ever did a cover of "He stopped loving her today".
That would be too sad for words.
Good call on remembering Gosdin. He was a top notch singer.

Couldn't believe it took 4 pages before someone mentioned Gosdin. Chiseled in Stone was a masterpiece.

Too hard to pick one but you can bet it isn't Tim McGraw or Brad Paisley.

Another one out there still going strong has to be Gene Watson. He puts on a heck of a good show. The Old man and the Horn is a heck of a story song. And speaking of story songs, what about Bare and Tom T. They both tell a dang fine story in song.
