Porter Wagoner wore enough makeup and bangles to be mistaken for a drag queen. But he seriously upped the ante on country concept albums with a series that cast him as a fucked-in-the-dirt everyman. These are morality plays disguised as songs & layered in deeply reverbed steel & strings. You'll never look down on drunkards, leave your children home alone, sleep with your mistress in a car, marry a serial killer, or follow a stranger out of a liquor store again.
