CLA Mission Statement

Over some decades, a unique-American art form was developed by many people who were, in the finest sense, pioneers bringing blessings, enjoyment, entertainment and enrichment to millions of people in America and eventually, around the world. Once, it might have been called mountain music or cowboy music. It was brought to us by down-home people, the tillers of the soil, those who went to the sea in ships, the cowpokes, the railroaders, the airmen, those who felled the giant timber, the ones who stayed home and molded the lives of our children - any man, woman, boy or girl who ever loved and was loved - the young, the old, those in between - your everyman, every woman, everyone. Some told stories, some wrote the songs, others sang the songs and played this music which pleased the hearts of so many. In their eyes, it reached its zenith sometime before 1970. The sound is instantly recognizable; artists who performed it very often became household names, true legends in their time.

It is the purpose and goal of the Country Legends Association to bring people of like mind together to join hands and hearts to preserve, restore and promote this unique part of Americana for the benefit of those who will follow after, that it might not be, in future years, merely an academic curiosity, but remain a viable art form indefinitely, continuing to bring blessing and enrichment to the world.

Original Country Music is not just tradition but a sound and a feel in the heart of  the reality of life's everyday circumstances whether it is patriotic, heartache, loss and fulfillment as in the Spirit of Gospel Music in relationship with our creator who sent his SON to touch our hearts with the reality of ones conviction of eternal values. Real Country Music from the heart can  lift us over and above the problems life deals out at times and bring one to the ultimate praise of eternal TRUTH for which all music was created. May there be a song and a sound in our hearts that sings throughout the Heavens.
