Dick Curless - A Tombstone Every Mile (1965)


Hoy un disco de este hombre de Maine, Dick Curless, camionero durante varios años, muchas de sus canciones tratan sobre la carretera, los camiones y lo usual en este genero. Sin duda uno de mis cantantes de country favoritos.
El buen ritmo de sus canciones junto a su voz grave y profunda le dan un toque mucho mas elegante que otros cantantes de country de esa epoca. Un disco buenisimo!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Dick Curless a few years before he died, and saw (and spoke with) him shortly before he passed. The man was straight country the way real country was meant to be played, and played it for a true country audience who know it's more than just the music. He helped me through a change in my life that was just beginning for me, and reaffirmed his support the last time I saw him.

I don't need to download this CD as I have most of his music, but I thank you for the chance to say a few words on his behalf.

Rest in peace, Dick.
