Well, i never felt more like singing the blues because i never thought i would ever lose your love i cant get over how she set me free oh, lonesome me mickey artists like don gibson helped country get more popular. And by the 60s, the music was in honkytonks and concert halls. It was also on radio and television. Country music was becoming americas music.
