Milton Moore
Vernon Oxford
is the most "country sounding" vocalist
ever! He is the re-
incarnation of Hank Williams,
only with a much
better voice, and
a much better
backing band, orchestrations, recording engineers, etc.(Can you post
"Who Were The Adams
Children?"? Just another great song from an
immortal vocalist
who should be in
the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME, but isn't.)
Milton Moore
This song has
the potential to
break down even the hardest of hearts, along with
those who simply, for whatever reasons, don't
like country music.

When I was a child my mother and step father and I met Vernon Oxford after a show featuring well know singers. Vernon Oxford was brand new to show biz, and my mother was the only fan of his there. This song brings back all those memories.

This counts for me as the BEST of EVER.
