Members wardjames Posted October 14, 2011 Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 We get a great response playing the country stuff that leans toward Buffett-style here in San Diego, for obvious reasons. However, we shy away from anything that's not well known. Right now that means popular Buffett songs and Zac Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueStrat Posted October 14, 2011 Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'd like to hear that guy sing when his voice changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIMKEYS Posted October 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'd like to hear that guy sing when his voice changes. I would guess that it already has , he is 22. That video was shot down here this summer at one of our beach bars. latinos tend to have higher voices from what I see down here with the guys I know who are performers.

Members SeniorBlues Posted October 14, 2011 Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 Holy triple post! Happened to me too. You can delete them on the edit page. I would think that anything with an accordion is an acquired taste . . . highly regional, like Zydeco, TexMex, Oom Pah, Argentine Tango, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas is a big part of the third coast. One of the originals we play has accordian in it ,,,I cover it with the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orourke Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 If it involves shorts and flip-flops I'm against it. Just kidding, it's just not my cup of tea, but at least now I now what trop rock is, thanks for informing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cooterbrown Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 I understand the appeal of that music, along with stuff like Buffett and Chesney. But I don't like it, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted October 17, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 17, 2011 wow. that was pure {censored}. What a pathetic thing to say. Your false bravado of course inspired me to check out your stuff... Weird. All I hear is bad cover renditions with not a single ounce of creativity and barely hanging on musicianship. Nice buzzing bee guitar tone. I'm sure the drunk divorcees are digging your coolness. You guys rock. Whiskey Train? That name is COOL! Dorkus Maximus. fun, isn't it?

Particularly ones that are promoting their own music To write, arrange, organize, record, master, distribute... I mean... fine. Whatever. But it's weird the way guys with real talent, that has been earned through hard work, tend not to talk trash about other musicians. My rant on your band is not sincere. Just making a point about your momentary slip into lameness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is his career is going to be just fine. Ya see... the last thing on my mind is the kid. I'm thinking of Crustee and how that insecurity most weigh heavy at times. I'm serious. I listened to Crustee's stuff and I listen to the video. I'm no Trop Rock kind of guy but "the kid" had something. You just have to wonder about the motivation of: "wow. that was pure {censored}." wow. that was pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best example may be Mellencamp where you can hear it on songs like "Check It Out" and "Cherry Bomb". When he played here the keyboard player actually spent a lot of time working the accordian which sounded great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wheresgrant3 Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 I can listen to just about any style of music. To me if I were in that area of the Gulf coast I would probably seek out some of the better bands in the area. For me it's regional type music... but for others it's a lifestyle. I have friends that live in Ohio and are big Parrotheads. They are both in their early 50's and retired (postal service). Definitely a generational/age gap for me. They spend the entire months of January-Feb in the Florida keys. So they get to soak in that sun and lifestyle for a month or two every year and bring the music home with them. For me if I hear it on a vacation and it's in the background. Good stuff just not my cup of tea. The accordion is the only thing that interests me as it must be hard to find players. As for the guy in the video... the only thing that doesn't sell me (aside from the poorly produced video) is his age/voice. Most storytellers are grey and bearded. This guy looks like he's 18 and sounds like he's twelve (I see he's 22). I don't know much about the lifestyle or music but the 'buy in' for me is that this guy has lived alot and has a story to tell. I don't hear a single grit of whiskey in his voice. So clean it's sounds like Christian inspirational music... not good times and kicking back. I listened to a few other songs on his website and I think he has more promise in the straight up country track... but I agree with Blue Strat, his voice is pitched higher than the usual drawl. I'm am not an expert on the music... I'm just giving my opinion as a listener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members modulusman Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 The fact that there were some nice boobs in the video made up for the bass player wearing shorts IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
