Members pogo97 Posted January 29, 2015 Members Share Posted January 29, 2015 Clever bit of music mixing: six modern hit country songs jammed together to demonstrate that they're virtually identical.

Members Shaster Posted January 30, 2015 Members Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hey they forgot Dean Brody's Dirt - it would have fit right in. I actually like that song, after I saw him perform it live. He had a phenomenal band, and they did it a little faster than his studio recording - and harder. They were doing it for his sound check IIRC. Really liked his guitar player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steve mac Posted January 30, 2015 Members Share Posted January 30, 2015 The mashup is really well done, I am sure you could do it with just about any gendre. Having said that can't hep noticing that nearly every modern country tune has to have the word "truck" in it these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pogo97 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2015 There's good and not so good in all genres in my humble opinion... Sturgeon's Law: Ninety percent of everything is crap. I repeat Sturgeon’s Revelation, which was wrung out of me after twenty years of wearying defense of science fiction against attacks of people who used the worst examples of the field for ammunition, and whose conclusion was that ninety percent of SF is crud.[1] Using the same standards that categorize 90% of science fiction as trash, crud, or crap, it can be argued that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. is crap. In other words, the claim (or fact) that 90% of science fiction is crap is ultimately uninformative, because science fiction conforms to the same trends of quality as all other artforms. Actually, I think he was being very generous. I'd add that another 9.9% is just indifferent. (Like this BBS software, where I had to type "indifferent" three times to get it to take.)

That song's about drinkin' beer and driving around in pickup trucks! I like it! Who's it by? Actually, I don't think they care. Just as long as it reflects their values and the wife can line dance to it. It's just entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pinkfloydcramer61 Posted February 3, 2015 Members Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm weird in that I much prefer 80's country to 90's and later (the 80's was the last decade that country radio was for grownups, IMO). And I spent much of the 90's on the road with a country band, playing the country dance club circuit from the SE to SW. I also played in a top 40 country house band for much of the 00's and also from '12 to '14. There have always been a few great songs and artists even in new country (Zac Brown, Jamie Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Band Perry etc.) but I agree those are in the vast minority. During my recent '12-'14 stint it was mostly the female artists Lambert/Band Perry I enjoyed covering but so much else I didn't- I get nauseous at the thought of ever playing another Luke Bryan song, for example. Glad to be doing other things now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Dey Posted February 5, 2015 Members Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah, some Country was beginning to turn pop slightly in the '80s, but it was a great era for the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
