When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.. Country Gold.

"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" GREATEST line in Music History. Country Music has it's place. I am certainly not a big fan, but I've done three things that have brought me around to it and made me understand it's appeal. 1) Attended a Garth Brooks concert with my the wifes friends. Not sure I liked the music a whole lot (not all of it anyway) but the energy was outstanding and the people loved it. 2) Several times I've had Beers with my neighbors who are as country as out door toilets. Listen to the music with fans who personify it's lackadaisical what may come attitude and you'll be charmed by it's Twang. 3) The story telling is second to none. Straight to the point with humour and levity that will at least make an open minded person comprehend, Favorite Country Artists Kenny Rogers Garth Brooks Johnny Cash Randy Travis LeAnn Rimes |

just like I said, maybe a little more of a stretch to say greatest in music history, but definitely not out of the question. i cant understand how someone would call that cookie cutter. that line is completely loaded, it contains more emotion and paints a more real picture than most artist do with their entire career. a van gouh in word form, if you will.

I just realized over the last few months that... I actually DO like country. Not just tolerate it, but like it. Not all of it, obviously, and not much of the trash on the radio, but country nonetheless. I'm not sure why. More research is needed.

I've been on a huge country kick lately, but I've always listened to it, or at least some of it. There's a lot I'm not a fan of, especially the newer ****, but I love me some Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, etc. Some of it's kind of hard to find, though. Anything that isn't from the 90s-2000s, really. |

I like bluegrass too, but I know nothing about it.

Another bluegrass/punk band you might want to check out is .357 String Band. Their shows were best described as a blend of rednecks, bikers, and punks and the band seems to pretty much look that way as well. They were relatively short lived though, disbanding sometime in 2011 or 2012, and only releasing three albums, all of which are pretty good. |
