The country music thread. (Youtube heavy)

A Dabble Of Thelonius

So this is a thread for the appreciation of country music. Alternately it's a chance to display your awesome condescending, threadshitting skills.


So maybe you like traditional country. Like so.

Eh? Eh?

Ahh, Patsy Cline


Or how about the 60's and 70's classics?

How about this?

Poor mama.



Maybe you like 80's and early 90's country before it started turning into pop music.
Maybe there's even a song about that!

Oh hey, liike this one.

Oh, Randy


Maybe you like the recent stuff that's still country and not some pukey pop shit.

Fuckin Youtube

Seriously. Fuck youtube



Maybe you're a terrible person and you like shit like Rascall Flatts and Sugarland.

I'm not fucking posting that shit.

Maybe you like a little rock in your country? Or some outlaw country?

Do you see what you're maing me do?

Robert Earl Keen. Hell yeah.


Maybe I'm going to put a few more videos up because I couldn't narrow the list down.

Awwww sad song

This was the best goddamned movie.
So what's up folks? Let's talk country.

Right now I'm stuck on Eric Church. I was quite amused when he was opening for Rascall Flats on their "Me and My Gang Tour" and he got kicked off the tour for, I shit you not, running over on a set and crossing a line painted on the stage that indicated how close you could be to the audiance. So he started the "Me and Myself Tour" that was just him showing up at bars.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Also, I got nothin against Taylor Swift, wouldn't pick her music personally though.

Basically this is a thread for me, DL and Metz.

I would argue that you have terrible taste. But hey, to each his own.

Dead Legend

I couldn't find any Cross Canadian Ragweed videos that were worth a damn.

But I should mention that tomorrow I'm going to LONESTAR JAM

and in June I will be going to see Robert Earl Keen for the 3rd time. I missed him at Chilifest cause that faggot Pat Green played before him and I left after CCR cause I was too drunk.

Note: All of Pat Green's good songs will be found on "Live at Billy Bob's" CD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iulqP4xpVXw

Got an urge for good music? Let me direct you to the finest establishment to sell these wares. No bad music to be found on this site: Lone Star Music

Dead Legend

Hank III is just Hank's ghost.

That's all. Just heavily tattooed and more fucked up.

Where's George Jones at?

A Dabble Of Thelonius

I shouldn't say terrible. Hank III just irritates me for some reason and I can't hear GG Allin without thinking of what a horrible excuse for a person he was.

Why, right here, Macro.

Aww yeah

That's considered Blue Grass. Blue Grass is great though. I love going to family reunions in Kentucky and having my family get down with it. That shit is fun.

edit:

Love me some George Jones.

Dead Legend

blue grass is also accepted

in which case, DW should be here to post Mr. Bojangles

Macro9

My grandfather used to take me to see Ralph Stanley whenever he was in town. I haven't seen him around in years though.

If someone doesn't post some Alt. Country in the next hour or so, I'll toss some in.

I'll just put up the stuff I posted when I made this thread and it failed miserably in January.

I almost forgot

and a contemporary band:

Crooked Still

is really good as well

Dead Legend

I would also be failing in my duty to enlighten ya'll if I did not plug these guys:

Texas Renegade (Renegade is my favorite song, closely followed by Best Asset)
Renegade Rail - Check these guys out.
Houston Marchman
Adam Hood
Adam Carroll
Slaid Cleaves
Ryan Bingham
Scott Miller
Scott Wiggins Band

fshavlak

Bands I'm really into that could be called country:
The Devil Makes Three
Pinebox Serenade
Alejandro Escoveda
Whiskeytown

Bands that I'm into that would be bluegrass/folk
The Avett Brothers (love these guys)
Railroad Earth (fantastic, but you've probably already heard of them if you like bluegrass)
Assembly of Dust
Leftover Salmon
Hot Buttered Rum String Band
Old Crow Medicine Show
The Waybacks

Of these bands, the ones that I think you should check out if you haven't heard of them (and particular songs)
The Devil Makes Three (any of their songs)
Pinebox Serenade (Lost Pines, and although it's a departure from their sound I like Gravedigger's Blues)
Avett Brothers (Paranoia in B Major, Die Die Die, The Weight of Lies, Shame. This list could go on and on, but those songs are good starting points)
Railroad Earth (start with Railroad Earth)

What are people's opinions of Garth Brooks?

Arguably one of the most well known country musicians out there.


My father listened to a lot of his stuff as I was growing up so much of that is stuff I was exposed to as well.

Prester John

I am one of those who likes some rock in his country. Examples:

Drive-By Truckers

Garth Brooks?

Some of his stuff is alright.

VisionOfClarity

I need to restrain myself with this thread. I grew up on country and have yet to get the bf to develop a taste for it.


When I get married my first dance will either be I Cross My Heart or this: Keith Whitley, he died way too young.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GpXYKp7_Qw

As hokey as it is I love this song: Garth Brooks, I've seen him more times than I can count and it was always fun.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=29987601

And this one: Randy Travis is just great, you don't see this kind of simple talent any more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLxhbxh6kMY

And these guys need to do a reunion tour: Alabama ended up being able to balance being incredible popular and making their music how they wanted to.

Agreed.

Some I really like and this is great. Other stuff...eh.

I saw him live when he played in Central Park. His free show.

Holy hell is that guy an entertainer/performer. His on stage charisma is off the charts.

Dead Legend

prester john if you enjoy rock in your country i think just about anybody i listed should be right the fuck up your alley

also this is adam hood's catchiest tune imo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFaaiyatPSE

RichardTauber

First heard of this band in a documentary called Searching for the wrong-eyed Jesus. Not sure about genres so shut up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNz-EiO3BRY

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Yeah, Brooks had some good stuff and some bad stuff.

Oh!

Damn I love this song.

I can't think of a song of his I hate. He's a great performer and he never over charged unlike some of today's acts.

As classy as they come, to be honest. Interviews with him are pretty interesting. So utterly soft spoken when it comes to so many things.
