My Hot Take

Well now, ain’t this a sweet and heart-tuggin’ read? Here’s Dion Pride, shoulderin’ the hefty task of carryin’ on his daddy’s legendary legacy. Does it pack an emotional wallop? Sure as sugar on a beignet it does! But Dion’s out there on the road, pourin’ his heart into those good ol’ Charley Pride songs, ’cause he knows his pops’d have wanted his music to live on.

Losing ol’ Charley last year to that darn virus was a blow to country music, like a biscuit losin’ its gravy. But in this here remembrance, besides the twang of guitar strings, we also get a glimpse of Charley the man. A gentleman of the highest order, they say, who’d tip just about anyone ’cause he wanted to spread the good fortune he’d come into. A tip of the Stetson to you, Charley. You’re sorely missed, but your tunes (and Dion’s sweet efforts) keep you alive in our country-lovin’ hearts, y’all!
