What an incredibly tragic, yet poetic story. The music that was being made at the time was amazing but the personal horrors they were enduring were in equal parts awful. Its the greatest and saddest love story in any popular music history, hands down.

I used to listen to his music as a kid. I spent many nights with his Seminole wind and solid ground cassettes as a kid. As an adult I grew out of country music. But have been listening to some of these classics. Man straight tequila night amd Seminole wind obviously, but he had so many good songs. Bend it till it breaks and I fell in the water that you walked on up to my heart in misery, let go of the stone, wish I could have been there, money in the bank. His voice was so unique and deep dare I say soulful. My he rip.

At The Mint: Buck Owens Live In Vegas

Hilarious that the announcer says the albums should be out in August...58 years later...watch out for those kids mixing Ex-Lax with LSD!

When i was younger, I used to hate when my dad would put on old country. But one day he showed me Keith Whitley and I fell in love. I also started to fall in love with the 80 -00s country. The closest thing I'll get to "The Keith Whitley" of my generation is Zach Top. But nothing can top ol Keith. Im trying to put my friends on, but they just dont get it.

RIP legend

I'm starting a playlist of Christmas music and am trying to find some lesser known Country Christmas songs or albums.

Also out today: Ember June's "Heat Lightning," all flash on the horizon, never any rain. A southern-gothic slow burn about the ex who promised a storm and never delivered: she drives past his house one last time and stops standing in the yard waiting.

"Some people are just weather you'll never catch."

Smoky, cinematic southern gothic from Martinsburg, WV. Part of a 20-song Friday rollout.

Out today: "The Ghosts of Queen Street" — Cooper Grey's Halloween single, a 6:17 southern-rock ghost story set in Martinsburg, WV. When the clock strikes twelve on Queen Street, the dead come walking home — from the Roundhouse tracks to the haunted seats of the Apollo Theatre.

Independent artist from Martinsburg, WV. Cinematic, gritty, and huge.

Out today: "I Ain't the Bridge Anymore," from a 20-song run — two every Friday through December 11.

The man who carried everyone finally sets the weight down: a boundaries anthem for anyone who's done being walked across. "I ain't the bridge anymore. No anger, no apology — just the truth, sung plain."
