If I had to put four faces on a country music Mount Rushmore, which four would it be? This might be one of the toughest things ever. I have to narrow down some of the greatest county stars ever to just four? There are only four faces on the actual Mount Rushmore, so I can’t go adding faces.
The idea for this came from Tracy Lawrence actually. Recently, Tracy got a tattoo of the four artists that would be on his country music Mount Rushmore. They were George Strait, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, and George Jones. How tough must that have been to narrow it down to just four? However, Tracy’s four are pretty dang solid.
I’ve been thinking really hard about this. Who are my four going to be? After a lot of thought, I decided to go with two classic artists who’ve influenced countless others, and two that basically defined my life growing up. Narrowing this down to just four was so tough. If I could add faces on to Mount Rushmore I would.
If I could add faces, here are a few that I would add:
- Waylon Jennings
- Garth Brooks
- Keith Whitley
- Merle Haggard
That would be my backup country music Mount Rushmore. By the way, if you want to read more about Tracy Lawrence’s new tattoo that inspired this whole thing for me, you can check that story and pictures out here.
