Damn it’s been a while since I’ve been here. I’ve got a load of new albums to review, but for the time being here’s 5 of my favourite country music videos:

Merle Haggard: Misery & Gin

It’s rare to see Merle perform this song live, he does it excellently in this cool, widescreen video.

Guy Clark: Dublin Blues

I absolutely love this video. So much raw emotion and simplicity - No one else does it like Guy. Annoyingly I can’t embed it so here’s a link: Enjoy

The Highwaymen: Big River

What happens when you put 4 legends together? You get an awesome show. This is a rare televised performance from The Highwaymen in Central Park, NY.

Elvis Presley: Unchained Melody

This moving performance is obviously not Elvis at his best, but the significance of it is just how good a singer he always was, even when in bad health. He will always be the king.

Merle Haggard & Johnny Cash: Sing Me Back Home

A young Merle Haggard on The Johnny Cash show. I really like this duet because Merle Haggard was in prison watching Johnny Cash perform at San Quentin, now they are both in the spotlight, with Cash doing one of Merle’s songs.
