Back in the day, country radio would play a few "oldies but goodies" mixed in with the current stuff. I remember in the late 70s, and the 80s, mixed in with Haggard, Jones, Loretta, Paycheck, Kenny Rogers, Dolly, etc., every couple or three hours you might hear an old chestnut like Ernest Tubb's "Walking The Floor". Or maybe Jim Ed's "Pop A Top", Kitty Wells's "It Wasn't God," or Lefty's "Always Late". You got some sense of where the music of the current day had come from--some of the history/tradition. By the 90s I think that was pretty much gone, and certainly by 2000. Of course, today radio doesn't play anything like the role it used to in the music. But I think this ignoring of history was a big loss, and has hurt the genre and its listeners.
Where my comment about the disappearance of "oldies" was coming from, is that Webb Pierce is probably unknown to 99.9% of country fans today. And he was terrific!!
