* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Just about anything before the late 70s — he hadn't yet found his Southern rock and outlaw influences, so most of his earlier stuff is more mainstream countrypolitan and/or covers of his dad. Even though he had early #1 hits with "Eleven Roses" and "All for the Love of Sunshine," they are at total odds with his signature sound ("Sunshine" is a gospel-tinged waltz tempo love ballad, "Eleven Roses" is in the vein of the songs Music/GeorgeJones was doing in TheSeventies).
