And now we enter the 1960s, which many consider to be the golden decade for popular music, C&W included (it’ll be interesting to see if my current favorite country music decade, the '70s, remains my favorite or if I switch allegiances to the '60s). There are a whopping five songs to choose from this year, including Marty Robbins’s “El Paso” carrying over from last year.
Which is your choice?
If I’d realized I’d have another chance to vote for “El Paso,” I would’ve given the nod to “White Lightning” in the 1959 thread. 
Me too. Meanhile, can someone tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low?
No fair letting El Paso be in two years. 
I voted for Jim Reeves because it caused me to purchase all of his albums as they came out. Combined with Patsy Cline about the same time, they were the King and Queen of the new country music generation.
Hank Locklin would be second choice with a great old time sound.
“He’ll Have to Go” because I already voted for “El Paso.”
It’s good to talk about the old days when country and western music was really country and western music. This stuff now days is something but I don’t really know what but it ain’t country.
I really like Tom Petty’s descriptor: “bad rock with a fiddle”.
Gave them a listen and not my cup of tea. “Alabam” was the better one.
Over even the phenomenal “El Paso”? (He asked, after casting his vote for the nearly-as-great “He’ll Have to Go”, since he didn’t want to vote for the same song two years in a row.)
Wow.
Maybe I need to give “Alabam” another listen.
“El Paso” came in second, but I liked “Alabam” better on initial listen.
