Would all definitely beat her... would she be above or below Hank Williams, Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood?

I think she would be above Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert but below Hank Williams and Carrie Underwood. And George Jones would probably beat her as well.

What the last few posts tell me is that apparently I've heard of more country singers than I thought!

 

Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings too, just to give the other half of the Highwaymen.

Sound advice, Hank, sound advice.

Has Family Guy given Conway Twitty enough cultural heft? And what about all those Radio 2-friendly country acts that are surprisingly popular in the UK, particularly among teenage girls with large teeth and dry hair? Ward Thomas for instance, they had a #1 album last year but could walk down the street waving an Isis flag and not get arrested.

Spade - did you edit Tammy into your first post or have I developed Tammy blindness?

You prefer T-Swizzle as a nickname?

I did, around two seconds before your post went through. Probably should have mentioned this lest you thought you were being gaslighted.

Certainly not.  I see no reason not to refer to the woman by her actual name.  We're not mates of hers.

There's also Merle Haggard, think he beats her.

Porter Wagner is worth a mention.

Her sister asking fans for continued prayers and more nuance in her choice of words. IE hoping for a recovery rather than expecting a full recovery. 

 

Could mean something then again it might not.

I just skip past the Conway Twitty parts.

I'm genuinely surprised it took this long to cancel them. It's incredibly optimistic to have a stroke in May that requires intense rehabilitation and expect to perform a concert in July especially aged 85!

Well, I know who's not gonna be here in 3 months time now...

A new photo from her first public appearance since the stroke. (there's a video in the link too)

Makes a rare public appearance but appears weak and disorientated. 

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,383]

I wonder whether or not she will resume her concerts next year that were put back because of her stroke? 

I've  got a bad  feeling that 2018 isn't going to be kind to her sadly.
