What in the heck is going on with Country music?

[Elkmagnet]

I occasionally catch (original country gold) with Rowdy Yates on Saturday nights. Otherwise I avoid the local country stations.

People say the same about me.

You're a sexeh biotch

You're a sexeh biotch

Not aging well though. The ear hair and nose hair is getting a little Shrek like.

I've been shamed myself lol. Nothing says middle aged more than a facebooking pandora user

Hopefully you don't have your MySpace page still....

They can style it like that episode of Married....With Children when Al lost his barber

Well shit! don’t tell Merle Haggard, probably roll in the grave if he knew he wasn’t country. You know, a guy from Oakland who was inspired to sing country after hearing Johnny cash while serving his time in San Quentin prison. Country roots there for sure.. lol.

Or what about one of his greatest musical heirs, Gary Allan? From none other than Los Angeles, California

When was country music actually good?

 

[JDH]

The good stuff!! Got me thinking of this song.

I always thought Hank Jr, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and maybe Clint Black should redo "Highway Man".

At least we seem to be over the "I'm a cowboy that spends all day at the beach" phase.

Thank goodness

Now that I would listen to!!!

Listening to some 80s and 90s country this morning. This one here is perfection, boys. Imagine what kind of career Keith would have had, if he hadn’t died in his 30s.

Some angry closed minded folks on here. Just like the NFL, you can turn the channel or turn it off if you don't like it. The only music people out there today willing to admit they hunt and fish is Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Morgan Wallen and most of you hate on these guys. It's good to have some representation in the public.

you may continue your discussion now

If that's who you want representing you it's all yours.

That's a keeper, thinking of taking the wife to see whisky Myers in Madison.

Give me George Straight Brooks n Dunn
Best music to swing dance too is 80 and 90 country. Some early 2000. Of which I'm going out to do just that this evening.

 

[texwest44]

Are people angry and close minded, or is there simply a massive conflation of what is authentic and high quality, and what was popular amongst ourselves and our friends when we were younger? I'd bet my money on conflation but I'm the kind of guy who could lose a bet on the Globetrotters.

Not closed minded I listen to plenty of rap. It's just the country/rap/pop played on country music stations isn't country. It also sounds terrible to me.
I realize I'm in the minority.
I'm not saying you can't pretend to be country while listening to it.

I literally got my dirt road cred when I was 12 on a no cab tractor hauling them bales.
