Country Music

"Country" is a very general term for music. Most of today's country music has NOTHING in common with real country music from 30-40 years ago, much of which I DO like.

 

samesies.

 

i've always loved the lyrics to this classic country song:


My children are hungry, my dog needs a bone.
I'm out of a job now, so I'm just drivin' home.
An hour after sundown, when what to my delight,
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.

cho: There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.
If I can just run him over, every thing will be all right.
We'll have some possum gravy, oh what a beautiful sight;
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.

Won't have to clean no chicken, won't have to open no cans.
Just a little bit closer, and I'll have him in my hands.
I think the time has come now, to go from "dim" to "bright."
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.

there's a couple versions on youtube, but none of them are very good

 

You can lock me up in jail and throw away the key, but you can't keep my face from breaking out.

 

I agree that old country is great

and new country isn't really country and it sucks

 

I like a lot of country music. Especially old stuff:

Sorry, I cracked up the minute I saw the lead singer's iced tips and heard his stereotypical country voice. To each his own, I guess

 

sorry, can't get past the cliche melody and auto tune abuse.

 

Here we go...

Mmm, nah. Taylor Swift was actually very good though:


I bought my mom Willie Nelson tickets for her birthday.

i got to see the raconteurs backstage at acl. they are way better than any country band.

 

lol.....at least you guys tried. It really is a good song very sad and if you could get through the jerk singing it, well it would make you feel all sad and shit.

I cant stand the way the lead singer looks either.

 

I saw the raconteurs, they are pretty good. It was at a festival and the roots played the night before and they were better.

 

maybe i could change the song, melody, and a lot of the lyrics and sing it myself and it would be a decent song

but hey, i DID try.

 

That is a sick photograph! When I saw them I was about 20 feet back on the from the stage a little to the left.
