Vern
Gosdin, 1934 - 2009
Vern
Gosdin was real country, from his roots in rural Alabama to his unique voice.
He sang country like it is supposed to sound. The heart-wrenching sound we love
coming out of a bar room juke-box.
I
photographed Vern for many of his classic albums. Many will mourn the loss of
the man dubbed as, "The Voice",
but that voice will live on in such country classics as: Time Stood Still, Set
'em Up Joe, If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong (Do Me Right),
Chiseled In Stone, Do You Believe Me Now?
