Country music Yes or No?

[Matt Till]

I voted some: I really like Hank III (Hank Williams Jr. Jr.)

WARNING: The man cusses like there is no tomorrow.



But I like the old school stuff, but country is a rare listen.

Not my cup of tea.

I know that I'm odd for an old goth/metal-head, but I totally dig both kinds.... country AND western. Actually, I got into it back in the early 90's, when I realized that all of my hunting buddies listened to it in their trucks all the time. I decided to open my mind to it, and I realized that it's some darn good stuff.

My favorites:

George Strait (one of the best live shows I've ever seen!!!)
Toby Keith
Alison Krauss
Travis Tritt
Trisha Yearwood (sooooo hot, want to touch the ....)
Charlie Daniels
Alan Jackson
Garth Brooks

I like a lot of the new stuff - it's possibly the best bass playing in commercially widespread music right now. It runs the gamut of styles now, and the songs are good, too! Something that's seriously missing on T40 radio these days....

+1 agree... alot of new country is getting away from the old root/fifths old school of country bass sound.

Thanks for the votes and replies love the vids great stuff and i'm learning more and getting exposed to more music.

I used to listen the old country my grandfather listened to from the 50's and 60's. The new stuff is horrible to me.

I can't stand it mainly due to the lyrics, horrible lyrics.

I like old time country, like Hank, Willie, and Waylon. garth Brooks is pretty cool to. I mean "the Thunder Rolls" is a hell of a song. And of course you got to love CASH!

I voted some - I dig the old school stuff, not so much the new - sounds too slick and formulaic to my ears.

This is one of the best names of a band I've heard in a while! Great sounds, too!

As long as it's blue grass and there's a mental banjo and everyone looks like each others father and cousin at the same time.

Sig-worthy words, shadow! Thanks for the laughs.

Brad Paisley is one of the best guitar players on the planet....Country or otherwise. It gives me goose-bumps when I hear his playing... Tone and chops to die for. He's got the 3 "T's" that Billy Gibbons would really be proud of;
TONE, TASTE, TENACITY )-(

 

[markjazzbassist]

some of its ok, and that some is all the old stuff. johnny cash, hank williams, willie nelson, etc.

 

[Yngwie 4String]

+1 on Brad Paisley, the man can play.

Let's not forget the best thing about country music......







the cowgirls that go to the country bars to dance!!!!!!

I've never been really big into country, but I've been realizing that a lot of what I write could be considered country-ish. With that said, it's really gotten me into artists like Shooter Jennings, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers (always been a HUGE Roger Clyne fan), Jerry Jeff Walker, Brad Paisley, Wilco, etc.

 

[seanm]

I had to vote Ya.. it's ok. I like playing country and I like a lot of the old country but I have to admit I almost never listen to it at home.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

Country can be rockin , I dig the heavier stuff as well as some of the more shall I saw emo filled material.

 

[fogbass]

I can live with country, played in all kinds of bands, but made the most money playing country gigs. anyway, the latest top 40 country rocks!

Effing AWESOME!

 

[bigfatbass]

See? I ain't lyin about Paisley and Gill. They is some muthahuggy players!

Cody Canada from Cross Canadian Ragweed is a damn fine rock player, too, especially for such a young guy/band. Probably the best of the young guns out there right now, and becoming a fine songwriter. And the cowgirls ain't messin around at a CCR show!
