Man, screaming: "No one *really* does more for women in country than I do and how dare anyone think or say otherwise!"

Same man:

Anyway, Kyle's forever the shittiest writer who can't help but betray his bigotries in everything he publishes. "They're super cute, but overly cussy," is a sentence he published on purpose because you support women in country music by noting that they're allowed to look a certain way as long as you still police what they say and how they say it.

One of the Brooks & Dunn singles that's considered a "gold" recurrent, and rightfully so: www.countryuniverse.net/2025/10/15/e...

Every No. 1 Single of the 2000s: Brooks & Dunn, “Red Dirt Road”

Country singers Nat Stuckey & Connie Smith collaborated on a pair of albums in 1969 & 1970. The 1st of these is this 1969 release of mostly cover songs that were originally recorded as duets. The title track was released as a single. It was the 1957 hit by Sonny James. #CountrySky

We're back at it with retro single reviews this week!

This Merle Haggard hit, among his very best, captures the depths of his empathy as an artist: www.countryuniverse.net/2025/10/14/e...

Every No. 1 Single of the Seventies: Merle Haggard, “I Wonder if They Ever Think of Me”

Chaco Culture National Historical Park - New Mexico

The soul hums in canyon light.
The shape listens like desert stone.
The wind speaks the names of those who dreamed.
Where walls fall, the spirit takes flight.
History walks beside the sun.

I just love old barns. This is my acrylic painting of an old barn at sunset. They don’t make them like they used to. The old ones made of wood look so interesting with the wear and tear, holes, miss...

Near Mt Adams WA, I found this pastoral scene and stopped to appreciate it. And take a pic. The mountain was hidden in the clouds, but that was OK. Not something I usually shoot, so it was a nice challenge. #photography #washington #Fallcolor #farming
