This Date In Country Music
In 1992, Tracy Lawrence scored his first number one with "Sticks and Stones". Tracy, who will turn 40 on Sunday, has had a bit of a career revival in the past few years, but in his first five years he was known as a true country artist with other hits such "Alibis", "Can't Break It To My Heart", "My Second Home", "Is That A Tear", "How A Cowgirl Says Goodbye", and later with "Paint Me A Birmingham". My favorite cut is "The Coast Is Clear".
In l975, Ronnie Milsap was at number one with "(I'd Be) A Legend In My Own Time".
In 1969, Johnny Cash, accompanied by the Carter Family, Statler Brothers, and Jan Howard was at number one with "Daddy Sang Bass". (Does anybody remember the Statlers and "Daddy Played First Base"?)
In 1953, shortly after his untimely death, Hank Williams "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive" was number one.
In l949, Jimmy Wakely was at Number One with "I Love You So Much It Hurts".
In 1992, Emmylou Harris joined the Grand Ole Opry. She certainly earned the honor with her voice, one of the best for solo work, or harmonies (ask Vern Gosdin), and the many hits she had off true country songs including "If I Could Only Win Your Love", "Together Again", "Play Together Again Again" (with Buck Owens), "Blue Kentucky Girl", "Beneath Still Waters", and "I'm Movin' On". Emmylou is also known for her "Hot Band" and the Nash Ramblers, which have included such musicians as Tony Brown, James Burton, Sam Bush, Rodney Crowell, Emory Gordy, Jr., Glen D. Hardin, Roy Husky, Jr., Ronnie Tutt, Ricky Skaggs, and Jon Randall. That is a lot of pretty impressive music, with pretty impressive people.
In 1924, Speedy West was born. Speedy was a fantastic steel player with one huge resume, that included the likes of Loretta Lynn, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Penny, and Spade Cooley. For more information on Speedy, go to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedy_West
