Looks like CMA is going the way of the EMMYs, Grammys, etc. Lots of adulation of multiculturalism in the video presentation in that one Eric Church performance.
Yeah, unlike many of the others, George Strait sounded very good. Too bad he’s retired.
Country music? Is it still around? or just a citified bastardized version of it!
Give me some BOB WILLS AND THE TEXAS PLAYBOYS or MARTY ROBBINS or Bluegrass any day. Ah for the good old days of REAL music!
Soon “country” music will be a countrified version of hip-hop!
Some good current country out there - The Mavericks, Dwight Yoakum, Jamey Johnson. Most of the rest is Disney level pop.
Yoakum sounded excellent in the piece he did!
Paisley went Hollywood a long time ago. He gives nods to his roots occasionally.
***Shania Twain....They both have minimal talent but had the “look”.***
I realized she had no talent when I saw the cover of her first LP album. It was an overhead shot looking down with her face out of focus, but her cleavage and breasts in very sharp focus. They were NOT selling her music. They were selling her sexuality.
Modern Country Music is mostly pop/rock dime store cowboy crap sung with a fake ass twang by prius-driving metrosexuals. Give me the old country music any day of the week.
David Allan Coe?
What do you think of Sturgill Simpson? His style seems to be similar to the ‘70’s “Outlaw country”.
"I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison . . . "
You got it.
Bey is fat.
Brad is a great guitar player, and he uses my buddy, Dr Z’s amps!
What song did Alan Jackson sing?
