ANOTHER TRAGIC YEAR FOR COUNTRY & WESTERN, After the dismal 2020, this year has been another sad year for Country Music and Country & Western culture, in general.
This is the most complete list of artists and composers that we have been able to compile. However, there may always be someone who does not appear in this compilation, for which we apologize in advance.
Let us now remember all the deceased who made us enjoy their music and their art, in the hope that they rest in hillbilly heaven.
