Hank if you don't want to back 40-50 years for some good country you might try some not so mainstream Nashville types.........I **** hate Nashville,Luke Bryan and all those like him.

Chris Stapleton
Robert Earl Keen
Zane Williams
Stoney Larue
Dalton Domino
Hayes Carll
Derryl Dodd
Tejas Brothers
Mike and the Moonpies
Corey Hunt Band
Randy Rogers Band

Just a few non-Nashville types off the top of my head

Can someone explain to me the draw to country music? I just don't get it. I like all sorts of different styles of music, including modern folk, but country...it is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Seems like every other person likes that junk...maybe I have defective ears.

Can't stand the twangy sound of the music and singing. There is a few really modern country songs I can tolerate but that is mostly because the singing isn't very twangy at all.

The worst is when people from up north sing it and use a fake twangy singing voice...come on people.

Plus, almost all of the songs are about the same things...trucks, drinking crappy beer/getting drunk, dogs, front porches, cheating on spouses. People say that rap music is bad because of what they talk about but country is just as bad, they just talk about the same stuff in a different genre of music (plus I am sure it is a racist thing).

I have so many friends that think I am nuts for not liking it. I think the same about them for liking it.

I almost wished I liked it so I could be in the "cool country music kids club" HaHa (not really)

If you are a country music lover...I'm sorry you have poor taste in music.

Rant over.




There is a difference between not liking and not respecting. You are apparently too naive to know the difference.

The critiques are a bit snobby to say the least. You gotta listen to the music for a good month and it'll grow on you.

Southern rock certainly owes a fair amount to country, but my music library wouldn't categorize any of the songs/bands in 55 as 'country'

Wikipedia's list of Country Rock Musicians--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_rock_musicians
Note Skynyrd , with a Y, is listed in 2nd row (lol)

Wiki's definition of Country Rock.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_rock

Wiki's list of Country Rock albums......https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_rock_albums
Again note the many artists commonly thought to be "Rock"

http://www.ranker.com/list/country-rock-bands-and-musicians/reference ....another list of Country Rock bands from another source........Note SkynYrd, with a Y, is listed in the #3 spot (lol)

So, there is a list to get you started on your journey into Country Rock, of which Skynyrd, with a Y, is definitely a part (lol)

horse


Had you just said Skynard is Southern Rock not country I probably would have agreed, but That (lol)was a little irritating.............Thanks Sarcasm

RMAN.....there's a lot of cross-over and blurry stuff, but I think the thread is about country, vice 'country rock'....in my head, there's some difference....now, if you want to discuss country rock vs southern rock....well, that conversation is going to be more difficult

I agree....I'm not a big fan of country music, and would have denied until a few years ago that I owned any "Country" music. Until my father, a life long Trucker and country music fan, heard a CD I had made up of the artists listed in 55, and several others.......The Allmans, Boz Scaggs, etc. etc., and asked me when I started to listen to country....so I figured if a life long fan of Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Jr. & Sr., Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, etc. etc. described them as "country", maybe he was onto something......YMMV Herfing

Rap the last few years has been pretty horrid. Literally no talent. That is why I stick with Lecrae and similar artists. Actual talent.

Hank,

You have takin' a beatin'...on this thread...

But the new stuff is not my taste either....

Country has so many off shoots and sub categories
That all those...just alone are amazing... The BLUES,
Bluegrass, gospel, folk music, on and on...
BUT ALL THE CLASSICS like Pasty Kline , Hank Williams, Roy Orbison, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, JOHNNY CASH, Earl Scruggs then the baby boomers
Bella Fleck, Ricky Scaggs,
David Grisman....on and on...

Don't listen to COUNTRY TOP 40....
THAT'S HURTIN"....

Cross is great. Love em!

RMAN it's been a while since I've listened to Skynyrd but I associate them more with groups like Creedance and those guys. I mean when I'm making a playlist that's where he goes; with the rockers. Obviously he's on the more traditional side and not as progressive but you get the picture.

As for wikipedia, all I have to say is "Who the Hell declared them experts?" There's what people live and then there's what someone writes.

Wiki was not the only reference cited............and who the Hell declared you an expert? I mean you couldn't even spell "SkynArd" correctly. And FYI, as an "EXPERT", I would hope you know that "LYNYRD SKYNYRD" is a band of 9 or 10 original members, and not a "HE".......actually there is no one in the band named "LYNYRD SKYNYRD"..............Lynyrd Skynyrd came from Leonard Skinner. Skinner was a gym coach at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville who at some point in the 1960s disciplined Gary Rossington and Bob Burns for letting their hair grow. The young musicians eventually dropped out of school, but remembered all the hassles. In 1970, the band -- playing as the One Percent -- had a gig at a local club called the Forest Inn and Ronnie called out to the crowd, "Hey, we're Leonard Skinner and we're gonna play for y'all tonight". Since most of the crowd had run into Coach Skinner at one point or another the name was an instant hit and stuck. Eventually, the vowels were changed "to protect the guilty" -- as Gary put it a few years ago.


And as I stated before it was not the statement...........jjanecka wrote:

To me it read "Skynard is Southern Rock not country lol (You Moron, I'm so smart and you're so stupid you don't even know the difference" .......So, that's where I live, and that's what you wrote Not talking Shame on you

Do any of these rappers actually even have any real musicians in the "band" or group or whatever they're called? fog
