Arkey Blue

Classic Recordings

Neckerchief and cowboy hat; fiddle, pumping piano, and bent-string guitar; cheating spouses and inspirational spirituality -  endearingly familiar, old-timey honky tonk. And it beats today's over-produced pop country by a red-clay backroad mile.

SonicHits calls Arkey "A legend in the Texas hill country...real cowboy rancher and owner of the historical Silver Dollar Bar," which was featured in the film Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

And many would argue that a murder was indeed committed on Nashville's Music Row.
