60 years ago today Johnny Cash played his 1st ever prison concert at San Quentin. In the audience was a 20-yr-old petty thief whose crimes didn't fit state prison, but had escaped local jails 17 times. Cash inspired the inmate to pursue a music career. His name was Merle Haggard.

Let’s not just Solo cup and pickup truck it to death. Nobody is thinking about lyrical content, or how we’re moving people. It doesn’t make sense to move to one of the biggest-growing cities in the nation to sit in a room with 12 people and write a country song. --Tyler Childers

45 years ago today, Dolly Parton's "Jolene" was the best song in all of country music, hitting #1 on the charts. 45 years later, "Jolene" is still one of the best songs in all of country music. 45 years from now, it will still be one of the best songs in all country music.

Just the mustache of Burt Reynolds had more machismo than all the white boy R&B rejects clogging the country music charts like 7 rolls of Charmin being flushed down the toilet at once. Hope the Coors is cold in heaven, and say hey to the Snowman for us. #RIPBandit

Tyler Childers is a red-blooded, red-headed, singing and picking By God Kentucky-bred badass son-of-a-bitch who could play circles around the bros on the radio, and I'll puff my chest out to any man, woman, or beast who says otherwise! GET SOME!

25 years ago today, Clay Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and given the grim prognosis that he'd be in a wheelchair in four years, and dead in eight. 25 years later, Clay Walker isn't in a wheelchair, and he's not dead. Don't ever count out a country boy.

60 years ago today, an inmate at San Quentin Prison named Merle Haggard saw a puff of smoke come from the Death Row chimney. A man named Caryl Chessman who Merle shared an isolation cell with was just executed. That moment is when Merle chose to change his life. Country music.

Texas / Red Dirt is not a subgenre. It's not a scene. It's not an "industry." It is a movement. It is a revolution. And most importantly, it's a family, with artists helping each other and fans stepping up as supporters. It's sustainability in music vs. reaching for superstardom.

Ladies & gentlemen, performing on the ACM Awards right now is a guy named Alan Jackson. He's what's known as a country music artist, unlike many of the other performers who use that term. Actual country music still exists. Seek it out & support it. It's worth saving. #ACMAwards

"George Jones told me that the first time I met him, ‘Keep it country’ and that stuck with me ... You won’t hear it on the radio, but there’s still a lot of people out there young and old that want to hear what I call real country music.” --Alan Jackson, born on this day in 1958

It's never too late, and the odds are never insurmountable. Sturgill Simpson went from a 30-something unknown railroad worker to being considered right beside Beyonce for the Grammy's Album of the Year. Never underestimate the persistence of will. Happy 40th to the Turtlemaster.

45 years ago today, David Allan Coe records the perfect country & Western song, aka "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" at Columbia Studio A. Written by Steve Goodman and John Prine, Prine left his name off the credits because he didn't want to accidentally offend country fans.
