In 2003, he released chart-topper Mud on the Tires. Time Well Wasted came at the end of 2005, and earned him both the CMA and ACM award for Album of the Year, as well as four Grammy nominations. A few months after Paisley's son William Huckleberry was born in 2007, his sixth album, 5th Gear, was released. The album succeeded with a handful of hit singles and a Grammy for the instrumental track, "Throttleneck." Perhaps the award was inspiration for his next album, the largely instrumental effort, Play. - Linda Ryan]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.67317&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Outlaw Country Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:55 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.67317 art.67317 Johnny Cash art.67317 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.67317&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.67317&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8471&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss New Traditional Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:58 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8471 art.8471 Toby Keith art.8471 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8471&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8471&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss ABC News anchor Peter Jennings to protest Keith's appearance on a network Fourth of July special. Of course tons of media hoopla followed, giving Keith the kind of priceless promotion that propelled "Courtesy" into legendary crossover hit status. Since then, Keith has continued to crank out the kind of roadhouse honky-tonk country songs that he began his career with, but he also stuck with what made him the most money -- riling up angry right wing Americans. His 2003 album Shock'n Y'all (it sounds like "Shock And Awe" when you say it out loud) featured "The Taliban Song," which referred to Middle Eastern men as camel herders. In interviews, Keith dismisses these kinds of songs as "bus songs," tunes that he pens for fun, and were never meant to be released until his fans insisted. But not all of his "bus songs" are politically charged. Keith's "Weed With Willie" (also from Shock'n Y'all) makes light of Willie Nelson's love for incredibly strong marijuana and "Grain of Salt" from 2006's White Trash With Money serves as a tourist's tequila anthem. - Eric Shea]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42556&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Outlaw Country Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:56 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.42556 art.42556 Willie Nelson art.42556 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42556&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42556&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Red Headed Stranger. It was the hit "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" that perpetuated the then-popular image of the longhaired country boy. Willie Nelson had arrived as a country superstar. His folky, nasal inflections carried his voice through many different genres of music, including Western Swing, traditional pop, jazz, Traditional Country, Cowboy country songs, Honky-Tonk, rock 'n' roll, folk music and of course, the blues. Nelson's success lasted until the late 1980s, when some trouble with the IRS landed him in a number of stuffed-crust pizza commercials and a cameo role in the film Half Baked smoking his beloved joints. When the day is done, Nelson can easily be considered a bona fide legend. - Eric Shea]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.200&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss New Traditional Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:51 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.200 art.200 Trace Adkins art.200 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.200&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.200&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6043&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Bakersfield Sound Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:54 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6043 art.6043 Merle Haggard art.6043 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6043&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6043&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.962&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Honky-Tonk Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:56 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.962 art.962 George Jones art.962 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.962&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.962&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss I Lived to Tell It All, which hit the New York Times' Best Seller list and television specials shined a spotlight on the legend, feeding the public's insatiable hunger for George Jones.

With a hit single ("The Dollar") under his belt, Johnson hit the road -- and partied hard. Things started to unravel, first when his wife divorced him and then further when his record label dropped him. Lost and in shock, Johnson cut himself off from friends and family and became a recluse, writing smash hits for George Strait ("Give It Away") and Trace Adkins ("Honky Tonk Badonkadonk") to pass the time. In 2008, Johnson returned to the spotlight with the release of his sophomore effort, That Lonesome Song, a battered collection of songs dealing with loss, growing pains and regret. - Linda Ryan]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:23:01 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4802 art.4802 Dolly Parton art.4802 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3482&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Honky-Tonk Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:55 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3482 art.3482 Hank Williams art.3482 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3482&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3482&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.418&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Cosmic American Music Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:51 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.418 art.418 Emmylou Harris art.418 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.418&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.418&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5423&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Mon, 9 Nov 2009 11:46:55 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5423 art.5423 Pat Green art.5423 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5423&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5423&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44568&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Cowpunk Mon, 5 Oct 2009 10:16:53 -0700 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44568 art.44568 Hank Williams III art.44568 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44568&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44568&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5701&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss '50s Rock 'n' Roll Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:36 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5701 art.5701 Jerry Lee Lewis art.5701 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5701&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5701&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61325&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Honky-Tonk Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:51 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61325 art.61325 Loretta Lynn art.61325 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61325&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61325&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) that made her a brand name in non-(Ford)truck-driving households across the nation. One of the first female country singers to address feminist issues, Lynn was considered a maverick during the '70s by the Grand Ole Opry's stuffed-shirt elite. With songs like "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'" and "The Pill" she stood in stark contrast to the stand-by-your-abuser sentiment of the time. This outspoken quality and her bedrock vocal style has been her legacy, influencing countless artists and earning her the utmost respect of the Nashville nation. The album-per-year pace Lynn had kept up for almost thirty years began to slacken during the '90s as she went into a sort of semiretirement, releasing fewer records, but choosing her material more carefully. As a duet partner, she teamed up with nearly every big-name country artist, ushering that peculiarly country tradition into contemporary times. Still Country (2000) finds her in fine form; the hard Honky-Tonk rocker "Country in My Genes" serves as a showcase for her pure country vitality and confirms her icon status. - Mike McGuirk]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44099&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss New Traditional Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:55 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44099 art.44099 Patty Loveless art.44099 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44099&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44099&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37770&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss New Traditional Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:54 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.37770 art.37770 Keith Whitley art.37770 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37770&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37770&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss A Hard Act To Follow, which featured Honky-Tonk songs with slivers of rock.

with fellow Byrd Chris Hillman -- also recruiting bass player Chris Ethridge and pedal steel player "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow to form a band that many would hold responsible for the birth of Country Rock. Parsons preferred the self-coined "Cosmic American Music" title to describe his band's overall vibe. The seminal sound of the Burritos was a twangy, swirling mix of Soul, Bakersfield-inspired Honky-Tonk, R&B, psychedelia and rock 'n' roll. The Flying Burrito Brothers were outfitted with beautifully custom-made, rhinestone-bedizened, hand-embroidered Western suits by the late, great Nudie Cohen; they released The Gilded Palace of Sin in 1969, donning their intergalactic Western wear on the album's cover. Following the release, Ethridge was replaced by Bernie Leadon and the Flying Burrito Brothers recorded Burrito Deluxe in 1970. Although Parsons left the group in 1970, the Flying Burrito Brothers have carried on into the twenty-first century with a revolving cast of musicians and a vast repertoire of Cosmic American Music songs. - Eric Shea]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4524&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Bakersfield Sound Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:18 -0800 Top Honky-Tonk Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4524 art.4524 Buck Owens art.4524 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4524&variant=play&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4524&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fhonky-tonk%2Fartist-chart.rss Hee Haw than for the fact that he was probably the most successful country act of the 1960s. Born in Texas in 1929, Owens settled in Bakersfield, Calif., in 1951 and set about creating the Bakersfield Sound. By the early '60s, Owens and his band the Buckaroos had forged a lean, hard Honky-Tonk sound different from what was happening in Nashville at the time. Owens and his main musical foil Don Rich alternated on lead guitar, while steel guitarist Tom Brumley played razor-sharp fills on the up-tempo songs and sweeping solos on the ballads. Owens' songs, many of which have become standards, are lessons in sharp wordplay and musical economy. Almost everything the band did, including solo records from the Buckaroos, went into the charts and stayed there for quite a while. When Owens' close friend and protege Don Rich died at age thirty-three in 1974, Owens scaled back his work, eventually going on to host Hee Haw. Owens still played regularly at his Crystal Palace club in Bakersfield until his death on March 24, 2006.
