Country these days is just pop music with an accent. Oh and that weird musical device.

Hmmm...
I listen to a little bit of everything except for rap... Toby Kieth is okay in my book....He did write the boot in the ass song...  I will listen to some stuff by Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks.. I do like some of the older stuff like Hank Williams Jr, etc.... I agree that a lot of new country is very cheesy and reeks of rap music..but ocasionally a good one pops out...Hard to find a really GOOD country station, hell hard to find a radio station that plays anything decent anymore... |

I am not a 'country' music fan, per-say, but when anchored in the grass-flats on my boat in FL, I do enjoy the Patsy Klien and early Jimmy Buffet CD's... Jimmy's 'Down Around Biluxi' kicks butt while downing a ice cold beer with a fishing pole in the water waiting for a nice sea trout to take the live shrimp bait... |

The inception of MTV is what started the downward spiral of all music. It has gone to such a level
of commercialism that it's all about the money and not about the music anymore. |

amen. I ain't gonna depend on what's on the radio no more, not when I got Sirius and an iPod, not to mention 7 or 8 gigs of what I already like and have paid for. WTF, it's either whiny songs or people whining about them.... Say, how come no one's writin' em like Wolfie and Ludwig used to.... |

That photo of Cash flipping the bird is from either Folsom Prison or San Quentin, I don't remember which. The photographer was pissing him off, getting between Cash and the prisoners. Cash told him to please move, so his people could see him and guy wouldn't. There's a picture before this one, where he's glaring at the camera, then there's: FUCK YOU! The explanation is in the live CD, but I don't have them handy right now to check which performance it's from. On one of those CDs he tells the audience how it's being recorded and so he's "not supposed to say hell and shit and stuff like that."
Cash was the real thing. In his second autobiography he talks a little about how Country Music seems lost. GL |

Plus 1 and many more. There's so little modern "country" music that's worth half a shit, it's not even funny. Honestly, the only two currently living country musicans I like to hear are Suzy Bogguss and SOME of Dolly Parton's work. I'm not sure I could find one MALE modern country musician that's worth listening to AT ALL. Well...Vince Gill has been known to do some pretty decent stuff, come to think of it. Back around Christmas '04 I went with a (former) GF to see a Christmas show with Vince Gill and Amy Grant, and it was pretty good. Not my usual tastes, but pretty good and I did enjoy it. CJ |

The "artists" in red could go back to hell, I mean, nashville.  The other folk, well, I don't really care.  For a real radio station, try 9.21 KTFW, 95.3 The Range or 95.9 The Ranch (most of the time).

"Modern" country music started with the release of The Urban Cowboy movie. It was presented to a younger more urban audience that was used to rock and roll or southern rock. That freakin movie made it cool to wear western style clothes and listen to country. It also made a long sleeve snap button shirt go from $13 to $45 and a good pair of $75 boots go to $300 or so.
 Also look at the changes in radio formats. The old "middle of the road" format where you used to hear the sappy love songs went away and Southern rock wasn't popular much after Jimmy Carter left the White house so they became country because there was no place left to play their music. When Garth mixed Merle and Kiss in his stage act country died that day. |

Actually, I think this is a perfect example of the Pussification of country music. No real cowboy or man for that matter is gonna let his significant other go out, get drunk, and undress and leave her clothes and earings strewn all about. My wife ever does that, she gets a serious boot in the ass the first time, and kicked to the curb the second. |

Better yet, look for your local independent stations that play local and upcoming real country singers. They are out there. If you can't find one in your area, please check out 95.3 KHYI The Range, from here in Dallas area. They have a live net feed. The DJs will make fun of you if you call up and ask for a modern mainstream "country" singer. The only sexy tractor is Fred Eaglesmith singing about a John Deer B with a row crop front end. And that is a damn good song. My personal favorite right now is Max Stalling. Robert Earl Keen is of course a giant. Also look for Cory Morrow, Houston Marchman, Tom Russell, Charlie Robinson, Jack Ingram, Chris Knight (who has so many gun and killin' songs that the DJs joke his latest album had to get a CHL). |

You're too high strung. The song is meant to be humorous. Besides which, your wife going out wouldn't give you the right to physically abuse her, and if you did, YOU most likely would be the one sitting on the curb afterwards with a restraining order in your hand. Country has changed because all the former rock listeners who were turned off by the transition of rock into rap-lite needed to be able to listen to something where you could still understand the words. I happen to LIKE the newer rock; that older stuff is too twangy. |

Saw that video the other day. They're mixing hip-hop styles with country. Same stage gestures, same jewelry. It was stupid. An interesting station: www.kpig.com/playlist.php?hours=0. It's not really country, or even alt-country, but their playlist is at least not the same five damn songs over and over. Peyroux, Dave Alvin, REM, Cash, Nick Lowe, and James McMurtry so far tonight. |

That's not new. It's been around a few years. One of his club songs, probably a bootleg. I don't think he ever recorded it for resale. Rising Outlaw is Hank III's best IMO. "On My Own" he sounds just like his grandaddy.  I don't care for his punk rock shit. |

I listen to Texas Music, which is local country music from Texas. We have a lot of country music singers down here that can't make it in Nashville, because they sound too country. Look up- "Kevin Fowler", "1100 springs", "jack ingram", "Jason Boland". You might like what you here.

I always try to go see Hank III. A little bit of country, a little bit of hellbilly, and a little bit of metal. It always funny to see the country audience look like deer in headlights when the metal show starts.  Great shows. |

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes. There is enough room in the music world for everyone to co-exist without knocking other peoples creative choices. Rock music in its heyday was far from a single monolithic entity that only had one "sound" to it. |

I think the real country is starting to make a slow comeback,but he days of the truly great guys are gone. This Keith Urban crap has go to stop. There are only a few guys making real music IMO.

Music changes with time. That's how simple it really is. The rock of today isn't the rock of the 50's. Today's rap isn't the rap of the 80's. Nothing stays the same so you either change with it or get left behind and end up listening to the moldy oldies.

Its true that there is much more formatting than there ever was. Theres still a wide range of formats out there, even if each station is stuck within its own narrow little format, withn a very limited playlist of songs within its format. I would love to own a rock formatted station, only because I would be playing a LOT more than what they play these days. The younger guys who only buy the "best of " albums from older rock acts are missing out on a lot of good material that never gets played, and it frustrates me. |
