Old Country Music

Hello, I just fly in from forest and mountain. I like old country music very much. I like hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and song that go "I'm here to tell you people I'm ragged but right, a rambler and a gambler i get drunk every night"

Who else like this fantastic new music called old country music?

and why.


I like for cinematic quality, I feel I am in movie when I hear this new music.

 

You forgot to mention Johnny Cash.

 

hank williams and dear ole mr cash!!


i love em so i do

 

They are good kind of american export, no?


I cannot believe I forget the Man of Black, Johnny CaSH

You hear "live in Folsum Prison" and you want go to Jail!!

and I cannot foreget, but I did, the women of country, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn.....

 

Ah a country noob. Such fun you youngsters are.

Let's start with the basics

Classic Country

Jimmie Rodgers
Hank Willians
Hank Snow
Ernest Tubb

Outlaw Country

Waylon Jennings
WIllie Nelson
Johnny Cash
Gram Parsons
Merle Haggard

Alt-Country

Steve Earle
Dwight Yoakam
Wayne Hancock
Hank WIlliams 3
Wilco
Beachwood Sparks


That is all for now kids. Ask old man HonkyTonk more bout this crazed, demented Hillbilly music later.

 

I'm not a fan of classic country but i do like alt-country bands that where inspired by Gram Parsons like Jayhawks,Whiskytown,Beachwood Sparks,Yearlings etc

 

I love beachwood Sparks...here's a pic I took of them once in California

 

Too bad most country is so bad these days..........most of it comes from that dark place where country and rock meet.

 

I dunno, is garth brooks considered older country?
yeah yeah, I know....not like "old" like you all are meaning. Not like Johnny Cash or anything. I dont like country but I do like Garth Brooks. Not enough to buy his album...but I will listen if I hear him on the radio. Other than that, all I know about county is that there is this lady named Gretchen Wilson who is all over the place and I want to knock her teeth out. She annoys me that much....and I nobody actually annoys me that much that I would even care let alone want to punch them......her I want to punch.

 

Johnny Cash ruled, rest his soul. At the end of Sept. His last album will be out.

 

sweetheart of the rodeo by the byrds

a great old-country album by a band who didn't traditionally do country songs.....

johnny cash and hank williams....two of the great musicians to ever have lived.....

 

Well there are many greats, but only 1 god:

 

While I like Johnny Cash, i consider this man, Hank Williams to be the true King of Country...plus he died like a star, morphine OD in the back of a limo at age 29

 

Now this guy, he is "the man" he even makes me think that the state of texas might be OK, he does his best to balance it out anyway...I love this guy.

 

Have you heard the Tyde? It's the Beachwood Sparks side prject (or is it vice versa?) and they play like british style pop. Good Shit. Waylon Jennings is the shit, hell the guy covered DYlan songs wa back in 64. He had good taste in music, he also covered NeIl Young's "are you ready for the country?".

 

no, i haven't heard the Tyde, i'd been wondering what happened to Beachwood Sparks, they were by far my favorite band in Los Angeles when I lived there..the first time i heard them was right when i was taking that picture....its been a while since they put out anything.


Yea, Waylon was great too....i just heard "Luchenbach, Texas"on the radio when i went to the store.

 

Waylon is why country has badassness to it.

 

i hate country. all country listeners are fucking posers. you dont even know what reakl fucking country is. your a poser.

how do you like it motherfuckers?

 

I was seeing punk shows before you were even born! You don't have to ONLY like punk....

 

I like waylon, willie, johnny, and hank.

and I do like conway twitty and george jones too.
