L A Country Artists like Rosie Flores made a splash in the 80's and really helped the traditional country revival that gave us Randy Travis, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Earle and many others. Here she is performing live on TNN's Nashville Now.

The Rovers tried to reinvent themselves for the 80's country market. The music was great but the band did not translate well with the American Country Market. I loved the music but I also liked them when they were the Irish Rovers. A traditional Irish Folk Group. This is a fun song though. Give it a listen!
