Title: I love Country Music - who else?
Post by: BigCyp on November 26, 2014, 03:12:10 AM
Always been my favourite genre, which is pretty rare for Englismen.

Some of my favourite artists are Randy Travis, Josh Turner, Johnny Cash, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton etc.

Do most people over the Pond share this love?

Not really into the more modern stuff.

If you liked Country music you wouldn't think it contrived at all. By that logic, Elvis was decent but every other male rock artist since is commercial rubbish.

George Strait is one of my favorites.

County is good music to listen to. Happy and upbeat message without too many curse words and doesn't talk about killing or drugs. 

That said, I like older country as well. I just seem to have found it over the last few years. I think it's a rite of passage for 30 year old white people.

Country music concerts are possibly the best place to meet women here.  5:1 ratio of women:men is about average and most of the women are smoking-hot.

That's about all its good for if you ask me, but opinions vary of course

country music is a difficult music genre, there is so much corny uptempo shit with silly lyrics that is hard to listen to, but once in a while i stumble upon something that is alright, mostly ballads...
as for johnny cash i prefer the late cash with his covers of modern songs.

I grew up on George Strait, Alabama, Oak Ridge Boys, Randy Travis, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Hee-Haw, etc...

Later Brooks and Dunn, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Reba and other late 80s and 90s country.

I think a good way to distinguish, would be asking yourself if you would sing along to it in public. If yes, then it's not real Country music  ;D For example, i'm on the bus and Randy Travis 'Forever and ever' comes on i'm like "This is my tune!!!!!!" but you don't sing along to it.

I think what sets her apart from Patsy and Loretta Lynn, is that Patty was singing proper country at a time when it wasn't cool in the late 80's early 90's.

Not a fan, no.

But there's nothing wrong with the music. Just not my thing.

Shania was massively hot. But ... She was nothing much before she met Mutt Lange and now, with them being divorced, she is nothing again. Without the guy, Twain is just some ageing country-pop queen without the songwriting goods to maintain a relevant music career. Sad but true.

P.S. Some terrific musicians in the country world.

Comanche:  Custer Column's Sole Battle Survivor
(http://www.horsecarecourses.com/.a/6a015391a867e3970b016764864931970b-800wi)

Comanche Restoration Project
University of Kansas naturalist Lewis Lindsay Dyche prepared Comanche for exhibition at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893.  Following the fair, Comanche was returned to the KU Natural History Museum.  Following a major restoration and conservation effort in 2004, the museum began exhibiting Comanche in a new exhibit, where the horse remains today as a popular attraction.  (Photo KUNHM)

Comanche (1862-1891)  was a 15 hand buckskin bay gelding, and the sole survivor of Custer's column from the myles keogh battle of the little big hornBattle of the Little Big Horn.  He was purchased by the U.S. Army in 1868 in

 St. Louis, Missouri, and was sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he became the personal mount of Captain Myles Keogh of the 7th Cavalry.  During his military service, Comanche was wounded several times, and was admired for his bravery and toughness.

Keogh rode Comanche into battle on June 25, 1876, and was found two days later in a ravine badly wounded, very weak and barely able to stand.  The horse suffered three severe wounds:  through his neck, through his front shoulder and to his hind quarter; and four flesh wounds.  Comanche was transported to Fort Lincoln aboard the steamer the Far West along with other casualties.  He was slowly nursed back to health, retired, and orders were given that he should never be ridden again.

myles keogh comanche retired battle of the little big horn Comanche was eventually sent to Fort Riley, Kansas.  He acted as a regimental mascot and occasionally lead parades until his death in 1891.  His remains were sent to the University of Kansas in Lawrence, where they were preserved and mounted.

I always thought Joe Diffie was pretty cool!

Not really traditional but I liked some of his songs.





And let's not forget Honky Tonk Attitude. I was pissed that i missed Diffie last year due to a friend's wedding and he was literally playing 10 minutes away. I should've snuck out.



I'm also a big fan of Blackhawk



They also wrote this song although Restless Heart made it popular

But there's nothing wrong with the music. Just not my thing.

Shania was massively hot. But ... She was nothing much before she met Mutt Lange and now, with them being divorced, she is nothing again. Without the guy, Twain is just some ageing country-pop queen without the songwriting goods to maintain a relevant music career. Sad but true.

P.S. Some terrific musicians in the country world. 

Couldn't have said it better. Without Mutt, Shania's career non-existent.  He is ridiculously talented at crafting perfect melodies that cannot be forgotten. A pop music genius.

And for the record I despise 95% of C&W particularly the mainstream stuff.  To each their own, much of the metal I favor I know others would consider unlistenable.

Of course, every one hates country music "except for Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson".    ::)

Those same folks have never owned a single album, cd or mp3 from either of them LOL.  Just "cool" to love them.

I thinks Johnny transcends the genre actually. And I saw Willie way back in 1978 when he played with the Dead and NRPS at the Meadowlands in Jersey. My first Dead show, and it was killer. Willie put on a great show as well. Also saw Charlie Daniels with Papa John Creach back in the day. Good show.

I actually think there are a lot of musically talented country musicians out there, and musically, they have my respect. That twangy shit just isn't my thing though. Goes totally against my grain. Used to be a "southern rock" fan back in the day, but that's as close as I came. I've seen the Outlaws and Molly hatchet back in the early 80's. Never got to see Skynyrd unfortunately. The Allman's are one of my favorite bands to this day, and their 2009 show at the Gorge was one of the best shows I've ever seen. But true country, with the yodeling voices and twang just bugs the shit out of me. I'd much rather listen to true rock or blues.

No mention of this Billy Ray Cyrus yet?!
Back when I was younger him and Garth Brooks BS were all I knew of country. Some good old stuff out there though, can't speak for modern stuff.  Some fine women in the world of country too.

I find it can be good cruising music. Bit of Kenny Rogers, John Denver, Kris K go down well on a long drive.

The Rolling Stones did some nice country style numbers way back in the day- Country Honk, Dead Flowers, Sweet Black Angel plus others.

Billy Ray Cyrus had some pretty good songs that were unfortunately overshadowed by a song that doesn't even need to be mentioned. Guy had the best mullet in country music and a chisled jaw. Definitely a lifter

It'll come full circle eventually. People will be saying on youtube comments in 2025 "I'm only 37 and I like real throwback country like this" on a Scott Mcreery or Billy Currington videos  ;D
