Country Music Hall of Famer Ralph Emery has passed away.

Very sad and a big loss for country music . Back as a kid in the late 80's and early 90's growing up my parents would watch Nashville Now. Emery was one of the best relaxed sit down people to talk country music with. A lot of Pop Goes the Country clips are on YouTube and a lot is fun and music that Emery had with artists.
