Country Heartbreak
Comment:
Willie Nelson's battle-scarred tenor was just [i]made[/i] for a high-lonesome tearjerker track like the wistful "Sad Songs and Waltzes," a centerpiece of one of the outlaw legend's finest-ever albums, [i]Shotgun Willie[/i]. Chris Cagle was only five years old when Willie cut that album, but with the hard-rockin' "What Kinda Gone," he's put himself at the head of the class when it comes to new country stars. And if you want the story of real-life heartbreak, country star Keith Whitley passed away of an alcohol overdose in 1989, leaving behind his wife (country star Lorrie Morgan) and their two kids at the age of 34. His posthumously released "I'm Gonna Hurt Her On the Radio" couldn't play any sadder (or any truer) than that.
