Most of our special times have included a touching ballad: a time with that special person, a sad time in our life, etc. Who are the ballad singers that you like best? My choices are:
Jim Reeves
Hank Williams, Sr.
Jimmy Dickens
Looking forward to reading your selections! |

Since they are such great singers and since women are underrepresented here, I'd add Patty Loveless and Sara Evans.

The greatest balladeer & storyteller to me is JOHNNY CASH. I just could never seem to get enough of him. |
