Members csm Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 and if you start down that road you quickly bump into much of the best music ever made in America. Already have. Loves it. As much as an old Brit punk-blues-rocker possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oaksong Posted July 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Great country artists include: Oh, and by the way, Johnny Cash, among many others on my list, was a committed Christian, so if you think Christians make lousy musicians, you're just an ignorant dick. The best thing about Johnny Cash is that he wore a lot of black, which meant his family didn't need to buy a suit when he died. What a nice man.:poke:j/k some of his stuff is pretty decent.

Members tomh777 Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Dude you got a lot to learn, go to You Tube look up: Chet AtkinsDon RichRoy ClarkJames BurtonBrad Paisley and the list goes on and on and on. The only person I ever heard of coming close to Chet Atkins was the legendary Les Paul, but I even that is debatable. Playing a guitar, is playing a guitar, Flamenco, Classic, Country, Jazz,Rock-n-Roll. Drop the words, bass, drums and the guitar effects. There is not a whole lot of difference when you sit down to play. Same notes, same chords, same scales. Yngwie shreds classical Paganini type {censored} on a {censored}ing strat. It is playing the {censored}ing guitar all the same. You have to appreciate the ability it takes to play any instrument. You can have preferences, and not even particulary identify with country songs and don't listen to them for various reasons. "But "no taste?" You go head to head with Chet Atkins and see who has "taste" At least IMHO. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StillRock Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 The modern era... the Taylor Swifts, Big and Rich's, Gretchen Wilson, in fact, the whole Music Mafia and most of the recent artists could all disappear and I wouldn't be bothered. But, do remember, no country = no Hank Williams. No Hank Williams = No Elvis Presley = No Johnny Cash. No Johnny Cash = no punk, hard rock, rebellious edge, etc... Let's not be so quick to dismiss an entire genre because it has fans that are not the most cosmopolitan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members big_aug Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I live about 30 minutes from where Jamboree in the Hills is held every year. I've never gone. I liked a lot of the songs posted above me. I wonder how many of those bands/those types of bands are playing at Jambo. I bet not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 This is NOT a troll thread, it is a common argument, and I am just curious to see what the actual ratio of people with taste vs without is... There will be only two correct answers: 1. Of course it should be removed. 2. I have no taste. :poke: No, because Brad Paisley and Brent Mason can play as fast as Yngwie and yet have some tasty note choices and soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrokenFighter Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Anyways, on a serious note. Most country is bad... But not intolerable... Although there is some I want to banish from existence. There is some really good country also though. Like Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley. It is a great, heart-felt song.

I saw Chely Wright on Oprah and she had a big problem with being gay and also being a country music star. She almost killed herself, had the gun to her mouth and everything. And I bet she's a Republican too, because she kept saying she was a "Patriot" despite being gay. I wonder about Kenny Chesney, remember his marriage to Renee Zellwegger?

Members jerry_picker Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I dunno whether Charlie Pride is/was brave or crazy Back in the 70's, my summer job was working in a greenhouse for a commercial florist. Horrid hot work. Most of the workforce was either students on break from school, mentally challenged folks from a county home, or trailer court types. One morning, while delivering fresh cut roses from the "range" to the sorters, I noticed that the country radio station that was always on in the sorting room was blaring Charlie Pride. The 50-something white trash lady with the heavily sprayed beehive bouffant hair-do, who was grading the long stem roses, looked up and told me, "Ya know, I use-ta jes love that song 'til I foun' out he was a n****er."

Members LeftyTom Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Country music has its strong points. sadly, this pop music they try to pass of country music, only in the hopes of snagging money from younger listeners, is NOT country music.
