It's more tragic when it's unexpected, as is the case with these country singers who died before their time.

Country music has produced some truly epic album cover artwork over the years — but it's had some duds, too.

For the week starting Feb. 10, 1979, Rabbitt hit No. 1 on the charts with "Every Which Way But Loose."

May they rest in peace ...

There are many -- too many -- country stars who have had cancer or have been personally affected by it in some way.

Can you believe it?!

On this day in 1991, America's number one country song was "Meet In The Middle" by Diamond Rio. Today, we'll kick off our "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m. with that great hit and follow it up with "Gone Too Far", a number one for Eddie Rabbitt on this day in 1980.

Our "Country Classic Double" at 11:30 a.m. today leads off with the number one country song on this day back in 1981, Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love A Rainy Night". Eddie was one of those country artists who crossed over to pop charts as well with great success.
