“IT’S SUPPERTIME” “Bill Anderson sings a classic Jimmie Davis gospel song” –by Des Kelly  He is known World-wide as Whispering Bill Anderson, one of the most unassuming Country Music Stars that America has ever produced. A song-writer, guitarist, Vocalist albeit soft, & meaningful, Bill turns 85 this year and, from the 1960’s started to prove himself as one of the best in the business, finally winning entry into EVERY  Country Music Hall Of Fame, possible. He wrote songs for not only himself, but for umpteen other Country Stars who have always been grateful to him. They include a guy who is absolutely superb in every song he sings, Gene Watson, and we Country Music fanatics are lucky indeed to still be able to enjoy these ‘Legends’ first-hand. What I like and admire Bill Anderson about, is the fact that he is still so very humble and unassuming about everything he does, and ...

Another Kelly-Klassic “Gene Watson & Rhonda Vincent – Together Again “Live”” – Des Kelly Buck Owen’s wrote it, Rhonda Vincent & Gene Watson sing it, for the lucky passengers of a CFR Cruise in 2020, Michael Johnson, the BEST Steel-guitarist in America, in my opinion, at the moment, filled in, with his magic hands, in a Country song that will never be forgotten,  in another Kelly-Klassic.

Hope you enjoy these sentimental lyrics. ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Help Me – Do you ever feel like crying? I’m not asking if you ever feel like whimpering or letting a tear slip down your cheek. I’m asking if you’ve ever been at the bottom of the barrel, at the point of utter despair, at that place where you doubted things could get any worse, and you just wanted to wail, to moan, to shout out to God? Do you ever feel like crying? If you do, or shall I say, when you do, I hope you go ahead and do it — I hope you cry out to God with all of your being, with all of your heart. Why? Because our God is the God of the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. Because I believe our God wants us to cry out to him during those desperately lonely times of anguish. David did it. Just ...

“THE JONES’ BOY” – By Des Kelly Hot on the heels of Ray Price, is another confirmed favourite of mine, incidentally, the favourite of millions of Country Music Fans, throughout this planet, the name of George Jones stands out like a beacon, and yet, there was not “much” of this Music Legend, nicknamed “the possum” for this very reason. A “little guy”, huge “rebel” & “Super-Star”, served in the American Marines, making it obvious to those around him, that here was another “classic Country Star, in the making, and proving, beyond doubt that this was the case indeed. In an Era when there were so many Country Music Geniuses to contend with, it must have been something of a nightmare to try to figure out which songs to record, in order to have a “hit”in the business known as “Country”. American Country Music has always been noted for being far ahead ...
