Silenced Fred Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 it's as close to pop music as I'll get Some people hate it, but I mean, how many songs can go My wife left me, keyed my truck, I only got beer, but not much She took the dog that I love And now, I can only give a fu...

SG FAN Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I hate it, why don't we just call it pop and be done with it:( With a few exeptions, of course, Zak Brown, Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson, and a few others. You kinda have to take what I say with a grain of salt, because I'm a big outlaw country fan, so I've never taken too kindly to what the Nashville establishment is trying to push as "country".

MrNylon Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I like the older sound. More steal guitar etc. George Strait, Conway Twitty, Alan Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 I gotta say that I do find a LOT of what's being played to be only marginally country, and that may be why I like it. I'm not a big fan of depressing, crying in your beer songs :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG FAN Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Shooter rules, but I wouldn't call him new country, Nashville snubbed him, just like his dad. It's a shame, really, I love his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Name me one depressing Waylon Jennings song. I've read the thread a couple of times. I don't see anywhere that someone picked on Waylon Jennings, but if you feel the need to defend him, please do! He's done some GREAT tunes. Here's your requested tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1knCF94GRu0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 But this is FAR more typical of his work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5_UQJWQG6Q&feature=related Like I said... GREAT tunes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG FAN Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've read the thread a couple of times. I don't see anywhere that someone picked on Waylon Jennings. Never said anyone did. Just trying to say that not all REAL country was depressing. Good Waylon vid, by the way:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Waylon vid, by the way:) I love that tune... I also like the fact that the clip shows his personality! I wasn't implying that ALL old country was depressing, just that I don't care for the depressing stuff :) That goes for new Country, too, for the record!

SG FAN Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I agree, I, for the most part, don't like depressing country either. Let me rephrase my original statement, I don't hate new country, just the fake, superficial, manufactured "country". That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I agree, which was why I voted no and then posted Shooter Jennings vids. He should be the future of country music, but he isn't because of people loving the pablum that comes out of the corporate Nashville monopolies these days. Then again a lot great country music was always outside the Nashville mainstream anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 I like Kid Rock... but I don't think he's country. I don't hear "Country" in his tunes. I DO hear "Country" in Darius Rucker's stuff... and Eric Church and Jason Aldean. These folks are Country artists. Jury is still out on Taylor Swift. She still seems more "pop" than country. A genuine talent, to be sure, as a performer and songwriter, but.... And +1 to Garth. He and Travis Tritt were what got me into Country. Specifically Rodeo and T-R-O-U-B-L-E respectively. I caught them on the radio as I was channel surfing and thought it was a Southern Rock station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I liked Travis Tritt's early stuff. He put some drive in his country. Haven't heard anything new though. As posted in another thread by Milod, Chris Ledoux has some rockin' good country stuff too. I generally come at it from the Alt. Country side of things, so Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle are about the closest thing to Nashville country in my music library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I think this poll (and most other polls, as well) needs another option..."Some of it." I've been surrounded by two types of music, "Country & Western!" Now, there's another...called "Red Dirt," music. Near as I can tell, it's a blend of Country, 50's rock/rockabilly, and folk music. Seems to be mostly related to farming, or farm related subjects, too. Though that may depend on region, and/or artist(s)? "Rock" has been on the back burner, around here, for years! It's still there, mostly with the under 30 crowd, but "Country" or what passes as such, seems to rule the roost, most often, nowadays. At least, around this part (Smack Dab Center) of the country.

ChanMan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thunder Rolls especially the extended un edited version where she shoot him....... Ahh yeah!! Almost posted that one instead of Jason Aldean :) I also like "Friends in Low Places". I should likely post that in the Crank it Up thread!

I caught them on the radio as I was channel surfing and thought it was a Southern Rock station. 3 of the artists you've mentioned were/are current Rock/Alt acts Kid Rock Aaron Lewis - Staind Darius Rucker - Hootie and the Blowfish Jason Aldean(sp) has played around here a few times and honestly I'm not a fan of his music but the girls around here are crazy about him. I'm more of an older country fan when I actually sit down and listen to it. Garth, George Strait, Chris LeDoux, Clint Black, Vince Gill etc. Then again my formative music years were in the 90's (still a huge Grunge guy), so the country I heard during those years is what I go for.

Yep. Aaron Lewis' first country song is "Country Boy". There are a LOT of artists tapping into the Country Cashflow. I like some of the older artists, too. George Jones, and George Strait... I REALLY like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jJf-p6RYvo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
