Farewell Kenny Rogers, Thanks For The Hits Through The Years

Kenny Rogers is one of the greats of American music. His distinctive voice was welcomed in the country and pop music worlds. Kenny was friends with a who’s who of the music greats of his era such as Dolly Parton, The Bee Gees, Lionel Richie and more. I really like “The Gambler” because it told a great story of gambling and life. Rest in power Kenny, thanks for all the hits through the years.

Country Music Chaos

I have an open mind but what I don’t get is Country music acts trying to be pop and rock artists too? I am a casual country fan who thinks the genre has lost its soul while trying to be all things to all fans. Now I’m not saying some of the new stuff is all bad. There seems to be an identity crisis. It makes you wonder why they can’t stick to their roots with the influence of Cash, Carter, Williams, Nelson, Parton and George Jones. It’s OK to be who you are as a person and in music.
