Townes Van Zandt
Hank Williams
The Carter Family
Willie Nelson
maybe some rockier to folkier stuff like
Bruce Springsteen
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
Simon and Garfunkel
Woodie Guthrie
or some blues, jazz stuff like
Miles Davis (but just Kind of Blue to stay safe)
Muddy Waters
It's surprising no one has said The Caretaker as a joke.

> That play symbol.
>>70518249
I'm not sure, but if she like chet than also get Les Paul and Mary Ford. Also try Glen Campbell
>>70518262
>Buck Owens
there's a good share of him in second-recent thread
>>70418728
OP I really like the Time/Life as-seen-on-tv comps called Classic Country. It's all the top 40 hits by decade. I assume you can search blogspot or whatever for a complete set. I deleted the 70s stuff from mine but I can up the ones I have to the current sharethread if that would help you
>>70519636
that would be rad
>>70519937
kay. I'll start upping it now and link the post in the sharethread to this thread as long as it stays bumped. If not, just find it in the sharethread.
you're doing a good thing, OP.
>>70520140
>you're doing a good thing, OP.
this
Keith Whitley for sure.
>>70518820
She's in her 60s? Fuck, that's too young for this shit. Alzheimer's is supposed to happen when you're in your 80s.
if anyone has any links to conway twitty, glen campbell, don williams or tom jones, those were specifically requested by her husband
>>70518820
Definitely this album then

>>70520203

>>70520271
aw geez, right in the feels.
the comp is at 32% currently. there's a few Conway joints on it, I know. hang tight.
>>70519636
>>70519937
OK, OP. I got it over here >>70521634
I sincerely hope she likes it
>>70521722
thanks a bunch dude
This is probably the best country chart I've seen. Maybe use this as reference.
>>70522315
>No George Jones
Unforgivable.
it's not country but she might like death grips
