Lost But Not Forgotten

Many artists have influenced us over the years, I contemplate those who have been seen but not heard in over a decade in country music. Still there's no shortage of music these days,however so many you just want to hear again and when you do it's very little of.  I get the notion how contempary and moderen country music is or has become. Yes,traditional country music is coming back from the likes of Brantely Gilbert, Justin Moore, Eric Church, and Kellie Pickler, yet you just would love to hear a powerful honkey tonk, banjo playing traditonal to the core song such as Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin". I've compiled a list of artists right here, and you may just be surprised with who you've listened to over the years and would love to hear again.

Crystal Gale

Tom T. Hall

The Dixie Chicks

Jessica Andrews

Billy Gilman

Bill Anderson

Little Jimmy Dickens

The Wilkinsons

Denna Carter

Holly Williams

Hilary Williams

Danielle Peck

Gretchen Wilson


Surely, those on the list are far from their glory days of producing fine music, however have crafted music through different avenues creatively speaking,and well, others who still perform  locally. The door does open and again they will walk through and delight us with music and song.
