This is a "which child do I kill" toss-up between Ray Price and Johnny Cash.

Trivia: Ray Price introduced Merle Haggard to weed, making him Bob Dylan to Merle's Beatles.

This is a "which child do I kill" toss-up between Ray Price and Johnny Cash.

incidentally Johnny Cash's "Which Child Do I Kill?" peaked at #7

I love "Coal Miner's Daughter" and Hall but Hag all the way.

I'm going with the fried bologna sandwich, from the jailer's wife.

"For the Good Times", & while Price's version is the classic, Elvis' from 72 is devastating too.

I love Charley Pride's "San Antone", the Ray Price is obviously great, and the Lynn Anderson fits right in with the great pop hits of 70. Tough choice.

"Fightin' Side of Me," though, is the veritable bogus cheese product that eventually became Toby Keith poo.

conway twitty song is all time

― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 2 August 2012 00:07 (thirteen years ago)

early 70s are great for conway twitty. He made a lot of buttery sex music during those years.
