Country music's appeal truly crosses generations.

After all, everyone has a story to tell — and country music has a lot to say.

What country songs dominated the years of the 1980s? We list 'em!

Dolly, Willie and more had found their voice, while other icons were stuck in transition. 1974 was a very important year in country music.

"This is a big, big thing."

"There are no words, and not enough songs in the world to explain how much I love my Sapphire,” Milsap says.

'A Better Word for Love' consists of 10 tracks that Ronnie Milsap has known and loved for years.

The country icon is "under the weather."

"Everyone who met him was richer for it."

Age is just a number for Milsap, who is turning 76 but heading out on the road and also releasing an A-list collaborative project.

Musgraves dueted with the legend for a new version of his 1981 hit "(There's) No Gettin' Over Me."

Edward Thomas Rabbitt found success as a songwriter in Nashville at least 5 years before he ever earned a No. 1 song for himself.
