Members SnorkelMonkey Posted December 30, 2011 Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Originally Posted by misterstomach i like real country music, and i love a lot of the good old stuff that's been posted here. but alt country is such a {censored} genre of whiny douchebags playing the most contrived fake, pathetic music ever. it just seems like such a pathetic, obvious ploy to get laid that it makes me sick. it's as worse than the dude who goes to a loud bar and reads a book in the corner, trying to get noticed by some naive girl who will think he's smart and tortured and lonely. it's a {censored}ing halloween costume for hipster city kids. it hurts me deeply to see a genius like gillian welch lumped in with these losers.

The idea of "Alt Country" or "Outlaw Music" was a reaction against the Owen Bradley/Chet Atkins Nashville production scene. You had folks like Buck, Waylon and Willie working the country side of that fence, and Buffalo Springfield, Dead, Byrds, Gram Parsons working the rock side. Of course that first wave begat its share of whiny douchebags, like the Eagles, for example. The 90's resurgence of alt country draws from the same roots, and sometimes, oddly enough, from Owen Bradley production style, which I guess is an alternative to the "bad 70's rock with modern production" that is contemporary country.

Members TravvyBear Posted December 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2011 Ahh, so many good songs. I've been learning a lot of new licks, and practicing playing over chords, so much fun. Also, I've been looking into a lot of old Supro, Gibson and Silvertone amps. This Gibson is really catching my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the 'knobs on the top or back' Gibson amps would work well. So would a old blue Ampeg - 6V6 or 7591 models, 6L6 or EL-anything models need not apply - or decent tweed clone.
