Remembering Keith Whitley

    25 years ago today, country music saw one of its brightest stars burn out far too early.  Keith Whitley was one of the finest singers to ever grace the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and the airwaves of country radio.  Keith was a champion of traditional country music and bluegrass.  He helped mix the sounds of yesterday with the current trends of the late 80's to create a sound that had across the board appeal.  Sadly, as often the case, Keith brought some of those sad old drinking songs to life one too many times.  Today, Keep It Country Kids remembers the great Keith Whitley.
