From Wikipedia

Bro-country is a form of country pop originating in the 2010s, and is influenced by 21st-century hip hop, hard rock, and electronica. Bro-country songs are often musically upbeat with lyrics about attractive young women, the consumption of alcohol, partying, blue jeans, boots, and pickup trucks.

    AND Marty Robbins, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, to name a few. I’m just about willing to listen to hip hop over the country and western music of the past 40+ years. Makes me wanna scratch my eyeballs out!

  8. Not impressed at all. It’s just boy-bands in cowboy hats.

    Call it whatever you want, but modern Cuntry Pop is chick music written to appeal to women who may be high-school graduates between 14 and 45 years of age. The hooks and lyrics, complete with the constant guitar slides and voice crackles are designed to appeal to women with a yearning for that “bad boy” their friend dated that they always wanted to make out with. And the guys who always wanted to make out with those girls, (kind of like guys who “liked” Duran-Duran).

    “You name the babies, I’ll name the dogs”.
    “I went to college and got me some knowledge”.

    Truck-Dog-Beer; wash, rinse, repeat. Throw in some jail-time, ‘Murica, and Marines. Yee-Haw! After 5 hours of that riding through Tennessee with my buddy, Dave I had enough for a life time.

    Country Music died in the ’60s and was replaced with junk

  10. Yesterday was Tina Turner’s Birthday.

    Tonight I’m working my way through 3 of Her Concert DVD/Blue Ray’s & a bottle of American Bourbon.

    I loved her ENERGY! (& Legs)

    She was simply “THE BEST”

    You Don’t Have To Call Me Darlin’ Lyrics

    It was all that I could do to keep from cryin’
    Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
    You don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
    You never even call me by my name.

    You don’t have to call me Waylon Jennings
    And you don’t have to call me Charlie Pride.
    You don’t have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
    Even though your on my fightin’ side.

    CHORUS
    And I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
    And I never minded standin’ in the rain.
    You don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
    You never even call me by my name.

    I’ve heard my name a few times in your phone book
    I’ve seen it on signs where I’ve played
    But the only time I know, I’ll hear David Allan Coe
    Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.

    CHORUS…

    Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that
    song
    and he told me it was the perfect country and western
    song
    I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
    country and western song because he hadn’t said
    anything about
    Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin’
    drunk.
    Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song
    and he sent
    it to me and after reading it, I realized that my
    friend had written
    the perfect country and western song. And I felt
    obliged to include it
    on this album. The last verse goes like this here:

    Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
    And I went to pick her up in the rain.
    But, before I could get to the station in my pickup
    truck
    She got runned over by a damned old train.

    CHORUS:

    So I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
    And I never minded standin’ in the rain. No,
    You don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
    You never even call me, I wonder why you don’t call me
    Why don’t you ever call me by my name.

    Did you say DAC? Every time I play this song the lady next door throws a paver through my front window… all she has to do is ask and I would turn it up so she could hear it better without doing that.

    If you click on the link, don’t say you weren’t warned. There are bad words here, tell grandma and the kids to leave the room.

  16. I don’t want to hear anything influenced by hip-hop. I live in the mid-west, so I often hear this shit whilst out and about in town, and I think it’s puke. Rap shit is rap shit, no matter what they are “singing” or the instrumentation behind it. The inner-city ghetto-rat influence is disgusting.

    Country to me is Cline, Gentry, and guys who never called themselves country like Gatton. I HAVE heard over the years some excellent mainstream country songs… but that was all way in the past, and I could never tell you who did them because I wasn’t buying the LPs. I just heard them on the FM and liked them.

    One I can tell you about is Travis Tritt, “It’s a Great Day to be Alive” because the band (laughingly) wanted to try it 20 years ago. Only Ray (the drummer) and I had music schooling… so we KNEW it would be a fugging didsaster (not a spelling error).

    I used to think educated musicians were rubbish, and many of them are rubbish, but sometimes a decent background in the fundamentals is necessary. And by fundamentals I mean understanding time signatures, harmony, modes and scales, and general shit like knowing what the next fucking chord is. Oh, and what a “rest” is.

  17. I caught DAC at The Riverside in Tukwila in the 1980’s. Parking lot full of 1960’s pickups, Camaros, Chargers and Mustangs. Tractor trailers parked on the roadside for half mile in each direction. Harley Davidsons, Vincents, Triumphs parked right up front and you damn well better not fuck with any of them. If you couldn’t take care of yourself in a barroom brawl that would make any western movie proud, this wasn’t the place for you. Chicken wire between the band and the dance floor to catch flying beer bottles if the crowd didn’t get to hear Free Bird for the fifth time that night.
