Music pretty much died in the early ‘90s, as far as I’m concerned. But, there are people working in the background, still making good things to listen to. For me, that’s mostly really “retro” stuff like new western music by people like the Sons of the San Joaquin and Ian Tyson (the word seems inappropriate when applied to their music, though). There are a few good “rock” artists around, but they usually aren’t on the radio.
I’ve only heard one Amy Winehouse song, called something like “Rehab,” and it wasn’t for me.
Ian Tyson?Was he at one time a part of the folk duo,Ian and Sylvia?
I came up in the Fifties and Sixties.I love a good melody and smooth harmonies.Cannot STAND the headbanger garbage or this howling and growling that passes for rock today.
Groups like the Young Rascals,The Buckinghams or Gary Lewis and the Playboys would NEVER get a recording contract today.
