Country artists

[ChrisL]

I can only tolerate so many songs about broken hearts, beer and pickup trucks though. Lol.

We are definitely a product of our environment. I did not know there was any kind of music but Country till I was about 10 years old. A few years of Rock and Roll and along comes Country Rock/ Progressive Country. The Allman Brothers album 'Brothers and Sisters' was my path back into Country Music.
I like to think my taste in music is very eclectic. I also enjoy the 'standards' from the Rat Pack era.

Allman Brothers Band - Ramblin' Man

I like the Allman Bros music too.

Midnight Rider is my favorite.

 

[ChrisL]

And this one is my favorite from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

 

[ChrisL]

And CCR.

Don't you just love the sound of the guitar at the beginning of Midnight Rider? A friend of mine pointed that out to me. It's not on ALL versions of the song.

Yes ma'am
Vintage Allman Brothers guitar sounds.

Porter Wagoner - Green Green Grass of Home

I went to Nashville and the Opry once. Really neat experience. I saw Porter playing in the theme park that is on the same grounds and Porter actually lived at the park as well. Tucked back in there are some apartments on the Opry grounds

One dude went from working on the crew repairing the Opry's roof to headlining there...

Worthy rewriting of a great David Allen Coe song...this is NOT the radio version and has mild profanity. (So if you're at work, use earbuds.)

 

[Jarlaxle]

Just feel good song.

Anything by George is good. I have had the pleasure of seeing him in concert 3 times. All before Pure Country came out and he was playing larger than life venues

George was always one of the best, but he was an arrogant asshole.

When you are THAT good, you're entitled to be a bit of an arrogant asshole. George Strait is THAT good.

Here's another song ...

^^^ Homewrecking adultress.


Jus' sayin'

Come on now...Garth was chasing her from the get go He had been messing around on Sandy for a long time with other people

Hard to believe someone with a Kenneth Copeland quote in their sigline would try to rationalize adultery.

(BTW - he's a crook)

And your proof of that is...?

 

[Jarlaxle]

^^^ Well he is a country artist.

God bless you and him always!!!

Ever heard the song "Murder on Music Row"?
He is one of the ones George and Alan were talking about.
The fade of real country music can be traced back to the beginning of Garth Brooks' career

This is one of the most haunting country songs ever written. (Ironically, it started as a silly song.)
