Episode 66
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
Six String Hayride Ep. 66. Crap OR Classic #1 1967-1969The Country Music Association Awards (CMA) begin in 1967 as Country Music becomes Big Business and more commercially successful than ever. Country Music Stars are getting TV Shows, doing movies, and selling more concert tickets and merchandise. "Countrypolitan", a smoother sound typified through the use of lush string arrangements with a real orchestra and often background vocals provided by a choir, gains popularity on records like "Galveston" and "Make the World Go Away". Chris and Jim go back in the Hayride Time Machine and examine the awards, hits, and success of the late 1960's and check in on what they got right and what music failed to stand the test of time. The past is not always better and the flavor of the month may quickly become that milk you forgot in the back of the fridge. We are back from our Winter Hibernation and ready to fix musical history wherever needed.
