AWD hasn’t had a Music That Doesn’t Suck post in a while so I thought I’d check out the new Nashville “Country” music scene and see what we come up with.

28 Comments on MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU VOMIT IN YOUR EARS

  3. Country music has gone downhill. These Whites want to rap, sing with blacks, and sing good things about blacks, Michael King (MLK), sing about how bad Whites are, and try to act rock and roll too.

    I like all genre’s of music. But rapping with country and trying to sound “black” is vomit in the ears. What a good expression to explain it.

    Incidentally, I found by accident, an up and coming female country singer, who so far is keeping it close to true country…….she is from Arlington, Texas……has an excellent voice……..and she is Black. I like her music so far. Her name is Mickey Guyton. Check her music out.

  5. My wife, one daughter and her husband, and my son’s wife are all big time “country” fans. I literally cringe when I have to listen to this stuff.

    It really pisses the wife off when I tell it’s nothing but rap and hip-hop with a different (phony) accent; all glorify the “coolness” of ignorance, violence and victimhood, In other words it reinforces every negative stereotype.

    Put the “Western” back in “Country and Western”! Bring back the story tellers like Mary Robbins and sing about something besides the inevitable “drink’in n divorce”.

  8. Unruly, I love Bob Will’s music. Texas swing is some of the best. I still have my Bob Wills record album a great big compilation (3 records) of all his music that I bought in the 70’s. Now if I still had a good record player I’d play it more often. I also like Asleep At The Wheel’s music, great western swing. I also like Ernest Tubb and his Texas Troubadors. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline etc., all the good old country music. But my personal favorite is Jimmy Driftwood, you got to love a history teacher from Arkansas who taught American history in music. his music is hard to find but very well worth listening to and I know Amazon sells a large compilation of his music.

  13. The Battle of New Orleans. There are still some good story tellers up in the hills where he is from.
    Jimmy Driftwood helped save the Buffalo river back when some over-educated city slickers wanted to dam it up. It’s one of the best canoeing rivers in America. Very scenic.

    He’s well known and still respected in the Ozarks.

  16. Lazlo grew up on ‘Country Sunshine’
    When there were two kinds: Country and Western
    When Ernest Tubb had his own show
    When my racist Old Man would lower his voice and say “Charlie Pride, now that Black Bastard can Sing”
    When we ‘appropriated’ the Hawaiian lap steel guitar and it morphed into the pedal steel.
    When dogs, patriotism, chivalry, God and country still mattered.
    Today’s country is crap.
    The Country music industry has tried to do with Rap, the same thing that the Republican party is trying to do with immigration.
    Its posing, its phony and it sucks

  18. Sorry, Mr. M., but my tastes include Ms. Dion too… in small spurts. I recognize talent when I see it. I was into Streisand too in 1966. Still love her, even though the bloom has gone from her voice and her politics stink.

  22. Patsy Montana, another fine Arkansan. She could yodel too!

    Reminded me of a cowboy named Montie Montana who used to come around to our elementary school back in the 60s and do rope tricks on his horse, Rex. He was actually from Montana, and he was made an honorary mayor of the town where I lived in the San Fernando valley.

    Everybody has seen him in “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”, doing some trick horse and rope work.

    Very nice guy. All the kids loved him.

  23. Thanks Boehnerdict, I’m not familiar with Jim and Jesse but it looks like they do play some great bluegrass. Great mandolin pickin’ too.

    I’m more into Blues, though there are some country songs that can be read as Blues. And I prefer to listen to a woman sing. Allison Krauss is the best bluegrass voice I have ever heard. 🙂

    Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

  24. AWD is surprised none of you goat ropers mentioned any of the Dale Watson or Hank III I posted. I love Texas honky tonk music.

    And not a damn one of y’all mentioned this classic line from AWD in the post: “I started hating them today.”

    Happy Thanksgiving to Big Fuzzy, Mr Pinko, Mary Jane, Irony and the rest of y’all from the Big Sexy!

  28. I got it from my dad, when I was younger my dad listened to our local Country station KSPO 1230 AM and I hated it for the most part because it was always on at home and especially around the gas station. But as I grew older I started to like all the good country music I’d heard growing up. That and watching Hee Haw (I miss Hee Haw, what does that tell you) back in the 60’s and 70’s. And Emmy Lou Harris singing Pancho and Lefty with Willie Nelson is almost better than the original with Merle Haggard. She can sing like an angel, love her voice and her music. The Chieftains, one of my favorite Irish bands did some albums with some country singers, Down The Old Plank Road and Further Down The Old Plank Road, great music. Rain and Snow with Del McCoury and Wild Mountain Thyme with Don Williams are a couple of my favorites. And if you don’t like Chet Atkins or Doc Watson you’re missing a lot of good music. I still have my original copy of Will The Circle Be Unbroken with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, perhaps one of my favorites of all times. And yes I love auto harps as well and even good accordion music, Tex Mex/Cajun/Polkas and in Irish/Celtic music. A lot of the old stuff is now considered to be heritage Americana music and there are younger musicians playing it now which I like but you will never hear on a typical top 40 local cow pie station. And Willie’s Roadhouse on XM 59 gets played a lot around here as well. If this is a late posting it’s because I spent my Thanksgiving watching and taking care of my Mom while my Dad is in the Hospital till just about noon today until my brother and some friends took over for me.
