What's happened to Country music

Come on guys this crap I've been hearing tonight is just that, crap. Just heard that song by Shania again for the 10th time tonight I want to hear some Hank or some George Jones on the radio. Half the stuff they play now is Pop junk just labled as Country. &gt;<br><br>I'm going out to the truck and get my Kentucky Head Hunters CD, this crap sucks. :'(<br><br>Darrell

However, I've got some Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, George Jones and various others out in the truck, if you would like me to fax them over to ya. ;D

Re:What's happened to Country music

yea, i miss the country of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. the old truck driving songs of johnny cash, willie, waylon, david alan coe, merle, the possum george and on and on and on. most of the new stars look and sound like sissies.<br><br>thank god for hank jr., toby, charlie daniels and a few of the outlaw types that know how to still make good music.<br><br>&quot;the times (and music), they are a changing&quot;.<br><br>david h sends

Re:What's happened to Country music

I love the old stuff, but I'll have to admit, some of the new stuff is alright. The stuff I really love is sung by Texan artists. Namely, Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, Roger Kregar (however you spell his name), Charlie Robinson. Guys like that. Dont' forget Alabama, Travis Tritt, Hank Jr., George Strait, Tracy Byrd, Tracey Lawerence, Mark Chesnut, Kenny Chesney.

It was not to be. The whole thing sounded like top 40's pop music. THAT is why I love Allison Krauss so much. Even though she mixes between country and BG, at least she still has a country sound. The Dixie Chicks are awesome too.

Re:What's happened to Country music

Don't get me started on that crap that's coming out of Nashville. It ain't country. No way, no how. There are a few artists that are keeping country in their music. Dixie Chicks, King George, Allison Krauss and Nickle Creek are a few I enjoy.

But the music I like the most is the same music that BB mentioned. Texas Country Artist. Guy,s you don't know what you're missing. These artists won't back down to the so called &quot;experts&quot; in Nashville when it comes the the style of music they record. The record what they want to record.
www.texasmusicradio.net That address links to Live365. IT'll give you an example of what I'm talking about(thanks DD)

Re:What's happened to Country music

The music and the whole rest of the world has gone to H#*L. Darn hippies and liberals are gonna take over the whole world soon. I for one am sick of it. Yep I'm a conservative and proud of it.
