My Take
Faron Young is the kind of country artist I keep coming back to. A Shreveport, Louisiana honky-tonk man with a song literally titled "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young," he wore his persona on his sleeve, yet "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" prove he could turn tender and aching in an instant. That range, from rowdy to wistful, is what separates a stylist from a mere singer. He worked the front line from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s, and his 1996 passing closed a real era. For me, his catalog is a reliable doorway into classic country.
