Glen Campbell was born on this day back in 1936. He's had a ton of hit singles throughout his career, but none were bigger than 1975's number one hit single Rhinestone Cowboy. Here's Glen performing the song live on Burt Sugarman's The Midnight Special TV show. Check out Glen decked out from head to toe in leather. Now that's classic! Enjoy.
Kathy Mattea has been entertaining crowds since 1983. In 1988, she scored her first of four number one Billboard Hot Country singles with Goin' Gone.

Little Jimmy Dickens is probably most known by today's younger country audience as Brad Paisley's buddy. Especially after his "Kanye" moment (featured below) at this year's CMA awards. Little Jimmy was born on this day back in 1920. His biggest hit was a number one country single back in 1965 called May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose. He also holds the distinction of being the oldest living member of the Grand Ole Opry. Enjoy and wish Little Jimmy a happy birthday!
I happened across this video today, and thought I'd share one of the greatest classic country songs of all-time. It's Merle Haggard performing Mama Tried live in concert. Enjoy!
Back in 1980, Don Williams scored a number one hit on this day with I Believe In You. This was one of his 17 number one singles. The lyrics to this song are genius:
I don’t believe in superstars, organic food and foreign cars I don’t believe the price of gold, the certainty of growing old That right is right and left is wrong That north and south can’t get along That east is east and west is west, and being first is always best
But I believe in love I believe in babies I believe in Mom and Dad And I believe in you
I don’t believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate I like to think of God as love, He’s down below, He’s up above He’s watching people everywhere, he knows who does and doesn’t care And I’m an ordinary man, sometimes I wonder who I am
But I believe in love I believe in music I believe in magic And I believe in you
Well I know in all my certainty What’s goin’ on with you and me Is a good thing Its true I believe in you
I don’t believe virginity is as common as it used to be In working days and sleeping nights, that black is black and white is white That Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood That gasoline’s in short supply, the rising cost of getting by
But I believe in love I believe in old folks I believe in children And I believe in you
Here's Don performing the song live on Hee Haw. Enjoy!

According to CMT.com, Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man is the Greatest Country Song of All-Time. It was #1 on the country charts for three weeks back in 1968, and it's one of most covered songs in country music history. What do you think? Is this the greatest song of all-time? If not, which song would you put atop your list?
Pete Rock has remixed Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues video, and the result is pretty cool. Folsum Prison Blues was the third single from Cash's 1957 Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar album. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. Enjoy!
