Classic Country Songs By Classic Country Singers

I'm feeling nostalgic today, in particular about the kind of music I grew up listening to. Specifically, classic country music. Some things change for the better. Some things just change. One thing that doesn't, though. The old classics are still, well, classic. Take a trip back with me to a time when music was music, when singers could sing live without electronic enhancement, when even sad songs made you smile. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Successful Songs By Alliterative Artists

For the grammatically unenlightened, the word "alliterative" derives from the word alliteration, which is defined as "the repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables." All the songs in this collection are performed by artists with alliterative names. You'll find several golden oldies here, as well as a few newer tunes. Enjoy!  ~  JH
