Great entertainers move the audience on many different levels. IMO< these are somethe greatest Roy Acuff Jimmy Dickens His comedic songs, jokes, ballads that touch us all, rapport with the audience, skill at emceeing the show and strong band make him one of the best Flatt& Scruggs What are your choices? |

Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys, 1940s peak group with Flatt & Scruggs, for the original Bluegrass style they can't be beat. Although for Bluegrass I'm happy to listen to the Osbourne Brothers, Del McCoury, Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs (together and own groups), Jim & Jessie, Jimmy Martin, Red Allen, Golden State Boys, Kentucky Colonels, Newgrass Revival, the Bluegrass Alliance, Country Gentlemen, Second Generation, Country Gazette, The Hillmen, the Rice Brothers, etc.. |

Ernest Tubb: He couldn't sing very well but had a band that made him shine like a diamond in a goat's butt! Mel Street: Sang like he lived and felt every word of every song he cut. Johnny Paycheck: He DID do everything he sang about! ......As for Bluegrass: Osborne Bros. |

Gene Watson would be one of my all time favorites, and on the same list would be Haggard, Jones, Price, Paycheck and anyone else who had good steel in their music, so that would have to include Twitty,,with the geat John Hughey, and Buck with Tom Brumley, and of course Don Rich. Is this a trick question,, I could sit here and type all night, I love anyone that ever did good traditional country music, so I would need to mention Allen Jackson and George Stright.

Speaking of bluegrass. brings to mind the Seldom Scene and the Blugrass Cardinals. The Cardinals version of Blue-eyed Boston Boy is one of the most spine tingling recordings of bluegrass harmony I have ever heard.

Alison Kruass and Union Station, Del McCoury, I think I spelled it right. Country would be Haggard, Paisley, Strait, Jones, and so forth. ------------------ |

I love so many of them it`s hard to tell , Sonney James, was probably the best overall singer, clear , distinct , controlled voice. Most of the great entertainers are noted for the really great songs, that they wrote or aquired and arrangements, plus their voice and delivery...enough;;;;;;;; |
