Two singers I still feel very strongly about. John Denver, and Charley Pride.

I should probably add Sir Elton John, Jim Croce, and Rod Stewart. In addition to GL, I also love Collin Raye, Randy Travis, Johnny Rodriguez, Anne Murray, the Carpenters... I'm heavily into country music, but I prefer the older stuff. Not a lot of the newer country appeals to me. Big and Rich...I call them Gag and Retch.

Not so much into Bob Dylan. I have an uncle who probably burned me out on him. The poor man is a disabled 'Nam vet, the kind who still wears battle fatigues and plays old war protest songs, the kind who isn't entirely sure the '60's are over. He's played so much Dylan that I'm pretty much Dylaned out.
