Typecasting country artists as flipping between sounding sad and nostalgic paints a limited picture that leaves out the ever-presence of humor within the genre.
Mel Tillis' family is facing a difficult time following the country icon's death earlier this month, but they are certainly feeling the love from the beloved singer's fans.
Despite earlier reports that country music legend Mel Tillis was in critical condition following a recent surgery, the singer is "doing fine and on the right track."
Mel Tillis might be recovering from heart surgery, but his sense of humor has remained intact. The singer was asked by his publicist if he ever uses Twitter, and his response is priceless.
