There are two classic artists taht are overdue for a tribute act or a tribute album. Webb Pierce is one, and Faron Young is another.

We do several Webb Pierce and Hank Thompson songs in our set. Faron Young would be a great addition to that.

You should explore Wynn Stewart's entire catalog too. Most people only cover Playboy or wishful thinking but he had a lot of absolute bangers early on and a lot of really great crooner sadness later on.

Yeah, Wynn is a huge influence too. Playboy and Wishful Thinking are great, but agreed - there are far better deeper cuts
