Two years ago I was driving to a restaurant after seeing a dentist.
And on radio Willie Nelson was singing some beautiful tune I had never heard before.
I knew it's an old song, old in the sense that people nowadays just can't write melodies like that anymore.
But after some Internet search I was surprised it wasn't as old as I had thought.
It's like coming across an excellent classical Chinese poem, only to realize it's written by some unknown poet not too long ago.
"Just Call Me Lonesome" was written in 1992 and it's country, or country pop to be exact, meaning country music with a touch of soft rock.

Many of Glen Campbell's and John Denver's songs are country pop.
