Jazz Fundamentals
"Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play." Willie Nelson
With origins in the hills of Appalachia and roots reaching from traditional folk to Celtic and Gospel music, Country music encompasses a myriad of diverse styles. You can count on a steady supply of cry-in-your-beer ballads, and a passionate voice (with a southern twang) that sings for the working class.
From the outlaw days of Willie Nelson to the cosmic explorations of Gram Parsons to the tight-jeans rock of Dwight Yoakum, Rhino invites you to pull on your boots for a trip to the Country.
