    Default Country Music

    Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? I'm really more in to Texas country but I'm not holding my breath that any of you will no what that is. So here is the king

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I seem to go in 8-10 year phases with a love/hate attitude towards country music. I'm currently in a "can't stand country music" phase. The current crop of artists/songs just makes me ill.

    As for the Texas angle, I discovered Billy Joe Shaver about 6-7 years ago. I like his stuff. He's got a way with his lyrics. And his son Eddy was quite a guitarist.

    Billy Joe is good but old. Allot of country today is filled with pop but the Texas scene is a mix of rockabilly and country. If anyones intrested look up guys like

    Kevin Fowler
    Robert Earl Keen
    Wade Bowen
    Aaron Watson
    Roger Creager
    Charlie Robison
    Reckless Kelly
    Randy Rogers Band (more pop)
    Jason Bolan and The Stragglers
    Bart Crow Band
    Blue Edmonson

    Other than Keen Youtube is few and far with these guys but its good stuff. Pure Texas

    Some of it is pretty good...Johnny Cash, naturally, Hank Williams and I like the country album Jello Biafra did with Mojo Nixon...

    Besides that lots of older staff. I dislike right-wing country, e.g. by the likes of Hank Williams JR. that is.

    The diametric opposition does not apply to you, you are immune because you are a Texan!

    Yeah, I like Live Forever. I have the "Shaver" (Billy Joe and late son Eddy) Tramp on Your Street and Live Forever is on it. There's not a bad song on the album.

    Country is very hit-and-miss for me. I'm generally not a fan, but there are certain tunes (both older and newer) that I can't help but admit liking. God rest his soul, the one singer I do enjoy on a consistent basis is Cash -- I actually own one of his albums (American IV: The Man Comes Around), which for me is otherwise unprecedented.

    Johny Cash is to country music, what Motorhead is to metal: a group with strong appeal to people who would not necessarily otherwise enjoy the particular genera of music that group is normally classified in.

    Motorhead is often noted for its cross genera appeal. I believe it was Henry Rollins, a performer of notability himself, who said that Motorhead was the first Metal Band the had mass appeal to people who enjoyed punk, although not in those words. Also, like Johny Cash, while there are younger ...er... "musicians" who have cross market appeal, Motorhead has a few years on them in doing this.



    Now look, this is just my personal opinion, so please don't feel obligated to care, but since you asked: after Cliff Burton's passing, Metallica started... well... petering out into Crudsilvania. I still remember being really little, and listen to Ride the Lightning at my friend's house. I saw them several times much later in life, and even had my teenage nose broken at a performance of theirs. But, ...eh... thier music has been rather panable for awhile now.


    I'd still pay to see Motorhead.


    I don't even really like metal. There's no fiddle.
