Why do you like Country? (singer, hardcore, metal, pop)

Yeah, you can't deny Clarence White or Gram Parsons' influence on Country Music. The Byrds were the first of the Country Rock (Rock sub genre) bands that tried to break into Country Rock (Country sub genre). As I said before they failed. Gram Parsons would try again with The Flying Burrito Brothers, but wouldn't have much success here either. The first to do so, I'd say would be, Dwight Yoakam back in '86. I honestly can't think of another Country Rock (Rock sub genre) artist that has totally broken into Country Music.

This is Clarence Carter:

The Eagles were the most successful band that played Country Rock during the 70s. I don't know how well the charted on the Country Charts, but regardless of that they were pretty popular elsewhere.

OK, you're making 2 completely erroneous conclusions here

1. You come of as if you're speaking as an insider in the big corporate Nashville machine. OK not really, nevertheless I'd happily bet everything I own against a twinkie that that's not the case

2. You're speaking as though the big corporate Nashville cookie-cutter stamp-em-out machine is a good thing. If there's any element of the business side of music I just utterly loathe and despise it's the Nashville machine. Great music, deeply from the heart, honest sincere music can come from all around there, but not from that fecking gawdawful machine.

I only know you said this because Roxy quoted you. Back to my ignore list you go.
