The Maryland-raised brothers have played nice together during their first decade as a recording act, blending TJ’s distinctive baritone with older sibling John’s hot guitar prowess on tunes about love and life— but mostly the former.
Ever since Ralph Peer held his famous recording sessions in Bristol, Tennessee in the late 1920s with such acts as Ernest Stoneman, Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family, country music has uniquely told the story of American life.
The pioneers and trailblazers who brought these songs to the masses through the Grand Ole Opry weekly radio show or by traveling the nation’s highways and byways helped establish country music, perhaps more than any other genre, as a storytelling medium.
Lists such as these are always lightning rods for debate — and while our No. 1 choice, which will be revealed Nov. 19, feels pretty unassailable, there are certainly others in the Top 10 who many will feel deserved the top spot. In fact, we had a healthy staff debate over who it would be. That just goes to show the depth and richness of the talent in country music. The list will unfold over the next two weeks in five parts, starting with Nos. 100-76.
