Today -- I chose Merle Haggard. I like his "rough-around-the-edges" sound. He always came across as down-to-earth and believable.

One of my all time favorite country songs can be a tear-jerker if you're in the right mood:

George Jones/He Stopped Loving Her Today

George Strait? He ain't THAT old!!
Anyway...I chose all of the above. New country music sucks for the most part.

From the list, I have to go with Hank. The man was a backwoods genius. My second would be George Jones, then Patsy strictly for her vocal stylings.

I know by now that I will NEVER please everyone and someone will ALWAYS find an opportunity to criticize but, nevertheless, George Strait and Reba are "old" compared to today's standards which literally "suck" in comparison. At least we can agree on that.

Not sure why you'd take that as criticism.
But you did leave one of the all time greats off your list. And it ain't criticism,just an observation.

Voted Other as moods change and my favorite today may not be tomorrow.........

 

[Mad Scientist]

Voted George Strait but could just as easily be Hank Williams. Never liked Hank II but Hank III is REAL good! He fronts a Country/Rock band AND a Punk band! How cool is that?

My favorite Hank Williams tune.

I couldn't vote in the poll because I have two favorites: Merle Haggard and George Jones for men and Tammy Wynette for women.
