I wrote a review on here somewhere and would be interested in hearing your thoughts when you're done reading it. Leeann, you might enjoy it. I don't rightly know though, since you're a fan of the 90s. It particularly focuses on the 50s through 70s and what made the music so great from the poor/working man's experience.

Mainly because the remasterd recordings of the deceased artist usually is not as good as the recording of the living artist, so it's kind of annoying to listen to the two being spliced together. It just doesn't sound natural enough to me. I don’t particularly like duets with the deceased either.

I don't think he was tremendously influential in that his primary influence was Lefty Frizzell and Lefty was also the primary influence for Randy Travis and John Anderson so there were others around to keep that particular karma going. Moreover, the others were contemporaries who were considerably more successful than Keith, as well as less self-destructive 2) I hate the idea of creating duets with the deceased. The Hank Sr. / Hank Jr duets at least are understandable as something Hank Jr felt the need to do in order to connect with his father, but otherwise the concept seems ghoulish 3) Give me Ernest Tubb's 1948 version of "Blue Christmas" any day ! 1) I loved Keith Whitley’s singing but he simply didn’t have enough of a career to justify his inclusion into the CMHOF.
