Merle Haggard and Hank Williams Jr. Period.
(Hank Sr. doesn't count)

I love Bocephus, but I can't agree with you here. I think Johnny Cash has to be one of the two. Merle is a valid choice for the second, but there are others who would make sense there, too.

Well, can't disagree that they are two of the greatest. But not THE two greatest.

Waylon? Willie?

Singers, probably George Jones and George Strait.
Artists, Willie Nelson and either Hank Sr. or Johnny Cash.

Willie, then someone else. I would pick number 2 from J.R. Cash, Waylon, Kris Kristofferson, Merle, Geo. Jones, and maybe a few others, but that would be my start and my #1 is easy for me.

Pure singing, or are we including songwriting/guitar playing/live shows/etc?
I'd say George Strait and Merle, if going strictly by voice.

George Strait
Also has a very impressive body of work. He had a streak of 30+ years with a #1 hit.

George Strait & Conway Twitty

As a singer Marty Robbins has to be in the conversation. Great writer and entertainer too, but the man could sing anything from jazz to crooner to rock to country and the western cowboy songs he was most associated with.
Here he is singing "Summertime" and "Beyond The Reef"
I'm not sure Jones, Strait or anyone else could have pulled these type of songs off.

Jones and take your pick

And competed in NASCAR races.

First time I've ever heard Jr on the short list for greatest.

Haggard and Jones for me. If you want to go strictly on voice/singer, I always thought early David Allan Coe had one of the best most underrated country voices.

Waylon top performer, Kris top songwriter by a mile

Townes laughs. Lefty Frizell was Merle before Merle.
Posted on 8/20/17 at 7:24 pm to blake the kid
Not even the right Merle... every hear of Travis picking?

Merle Haggard has a hell of a songwriting resume, and I'm a Kris fan.
