In 1975, a guy named Guy made a record that does everything I think American music should do. It causes pain, inspires introspection, investigates the depth of the human heart, examines the American experience, records the lives of common men and, perhaps most importantly, doesn't pull any punches.
Old No. 1 is a masterpiece to put it succinctly. But, it's more than that. It's an essential part of the American musical canon. If you don't know it and you like country music, then you don't know country music yet. If you do know it, then you know what I mean.
