    Earl Thomas Conley never got the recognition he deserved. One of the greatest country singers of all time.

    Why don't we hear from him on the radio once in awhile? Dude, I am from LA. Not a country music stronghold. But there was one station... he was on it. Heard him in 1982 when I was in middle school. Sounded great. I could understand all the lyrics. He played the Cowboy Club on Lankershim.
    He is overdue for the Hall of Fame. He could easily compete with any of the newer artists. Not better, but different and just as good. He sang about relationships and people's feelings. I like that. It feels personal like we are talking at a bar.

    I just found out Earl Thomas Conley kicked the bucket, and it's a damn shame. I literally just got into his music today. I read about his death, and I thought to my self, "Fuck it, I'm gonna see what this guy's music is all about.", so I decided to check out his music on TH-cam. This is some of the best music I've ever heard. Who gives a fuck about labels, Country Music, Heavy Metal, or Rock & Roll, great music is great music, and that's what stands the test of time.
    I'm glad that I've been turned on to Earl Thomas Conley's music. I know the circumstances for discovering his music aren't the greatest, but I can truly say I am now a fan of E.T.C's music. Let's crank it up and drink a few cold ones! R.I.P Earl and thanks for taking us along for the ride!

    He looked so happy here enjoying what he he did. I really liked his music growing up in the 80's and I got to see him play all his hits live in my little hometown bar in 2003 he looked the same and was so sweet. I stood right in front of him playing is guitar and he smiled so big for me to take his picture with those disposable cameras he was 63 at the time.

    Why is country music from the 80's so forgotten. But you still hear country from the 90's still played. I like this sound of country music better than 90's county. I wasn't big on the cowboy hat boots and the annoying sound of the fiddle that dominated country music of the 90's. Today's country music has the same beats and all the songs sounds the same. Even the voices and the way they sing I can't tell them apart.

    • @patriciawilson9666
      @patriciawilson9666 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Modern Country for the most part has devolved into pop music with a fiddle or maybe the occasional dobro or mandolin.It is almost indistinguishable from any other pop music i can think of.The artists today are a dime a dozen.Nashville seems to crank out some new faceless hot blonde singer every few months.Country music long ago forgot it's roots in spite of the more traditional country artists who try in vain to remind them.I agree with you 100%.There would be no place in today's "country" music for an Earl Thomas Conley.Thank God we had him when we did.
