I love his bizarre coiffed mullet and his Dwight Yoakam-like mediocre dance moves, the entire basis of which seems to be to shake his butt at the women in the crowd. His songs were goofy ("Tempted" is one of my top 50 ever), but his music ability was not and the way Stuart plays guitar is as good as any country musician ever. Look at the man above.now he is greying and a little slower with his moves, but there was a time in the 80s that he made your grandmother swoon in the same way that the college girls are now trying to mount Luke Bryan. There was a time that country also included garish outfits, exemplified by Stuart and his wild rhinestone suits. I harken back to the days of Cash/Waylon/Willie, etc but also have a soft spot for the cheesy country of today's birthday salute, the great Marty Stuart. However, what I see now is mostly guys wearing the standard country uniform (tight jeans, fake cowboy boots and either a plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up or, if they are in better shape, a form-fitting v-neck t-shirt) and singing songs concerning things they would never do (like chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit). A great authentic voice with songs that actually express real emotion.that to me is country music. If you listen to the radio show, you know that I am not a huge fan of modern country music and listening to Whitley only confirmed why. While most of you are focusing on the "Breaking Bad" finale, I am writing this entry and listening to Keith Whitley.
