rip 112

After some downfalls recently country music has came back into my life again, the rock just makes me angry right now. Since I'm at the end of a chapter in my life some songs have just explained lots of how I feel. Country song writers really know how to bring it home, and not boasting, but especially the Texas scene. Some of the main songs on my playlist now:

Randy Rogers Band-In my arms instead (the new album is awesome)
Jamie Johnson- Seen it in color (my grandpa is fresh in my memories)
George Strait- Troubador (George Strait is a legend to me)
Garth Brooks-More than a memory
Cowboy Cool-Sonny Burgess

These are the ones really bringing me down to earth.

What do ya'll find influential to ya'll?

George Strait-Troubador(He's the new Bob Wills-Def. a legend, and this song is one of the best in years from him)
Cross Canadian Ragweed-Dimebag (Great song, if you haven't heard it you're missing out.)

Nice list, lots of good music.

If I crave rock lately I've been listening to All That Remains and Shinedown, AC/DC when I'm pumped up, Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold, and lots like them. They make sense ebven when they don't make sense.

One that always makes me stop and think: "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. I know it's odd, but just the way the music and words tell the story of the sinking of the ship kinda chills my spine each time I hear it. I guess because it's a true story.

(Oh, and Rip, get the AC/DC Rockband track pack )

Rob I agree. That is an AWESOME song and I have it on the Ipod too. I also feel the same way about "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" by Brad Paisley. Each kinda tells of a haunting story.

Proud to be an American - Lee Greenwood. Spent most of a year hearing it at 12 and 12 on AFARTS. I can smell the GP medium everytime I hear it.

Jason Boland - Proud Souls
Andy Hersey - Companero Blanco
Andy Hersey - Between God and Country
Jamey Johnson - In Color
Gary Stewart - Empty Glass
Randy Rogers Band - Lost and Found

Lee Greenwood - Proud to Be an American
Born in the USA - Springsteen
AlterBridge - Rise Today
Love Remembers - Craig Morgan
When I'm Gone - AlterBridge
Not Supposed to Go Like That - Rascal Flatts
Pieces - Rascal Flatts
I'm Movin On - Rascal Flatts

Only a few I can think of right now, but pretty much every country song hits me someway or another. New AlterBridge is pretty good if you haven't heard it.

I have all the Alterbridge. I used to love Creed so thats a given.

Pancho and Lefty-Willie Nelson
Silver Wings-Merle Haggard
Rose Colored Glasses-Conway Twitty
She couldn't say i didn't cry-Rick trevino

The end of Heartache-Killswitch Engage
Sound of madness, Simple Man, 45, actually all Shinedown is awesome.

I also like Mudvayne and Tool, but I have to be in the right mood, their music is unique. Anger music
