His attitude is rejected by most of the so-called right wing.

As well as “conservatives”. Bigotry is not a conservative principle.

[JimRed]

And how about Ray Charles’ “I Can’t Stop Loving You”. A true classic.

"You Don't Know Me" as well! And many of his others.

It’s like NASCAR

run by woke lefties

Begging for a black audience that could care less

Blacks like puffy and snoop show up it’s just a gimmick and they are paid

Never to be fruit

Only blacks I know like cuntry are rodeo blacks

[Gaffer]

I don’t either.....

[Gaffer]

This is my style.....

Not country, but early 1960s leading by example, black guy-white guy teaming up on something other than a playing field!

Most folks don’t know that “Wagon Wheel” was originally written by Bob Dylan. It was never finished and Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show came along and asked to finish it and record it. Darius picked it up after that.

Back in the day, I remember my black friends saying, “Charlie Pride looks like us and sounds like them, and Janice Joplin looks like them and sounds like us.”

Tender Crisp Chicken Bacon Cheddar Ranch was Darius Rucker's breakthrough into country music.

When my belly starts a-rumblin'
and I'm Jonesin' for a treat,
I close my eyes for a big surprise
the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

I love the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
The breasts they grow on trees
and streams of bacon ranch dressing flow right up to your knees

There's tumbleweeds of bacon
and cheddar paves the streets Folks don't front ya 'cause you got the juice
there's a train of ladies coming with a nice caboose never get in trouble
never need an excuse
That's the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

I love the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
No one tells you to behave (behave)
Your wildest fantasies come true
Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves

Red onions make you laugh instead
and french fries grow like weeds
You get to veg all day
all the lotto tickets pay
there's a king who wants you to have it your way,
That's the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

"Blavity News is a community and platform for Black Voices, Stories, Creators and thought."

This is racist in itself, disagree, change the Black in the quote above to white and try to publish. You would be treated like the KKK.

Am familiar with Tennessee Ernie Ford. I remember "16 tons" from a long time ago. He could sing the phone book and sound great.

[DiogenesLamp]

+1.

The Old Crow Medicine Show version is pretty good, but Darius Rucker's version is awesome.

I did learn about Bob Dylan writing it when I looked it up shortly after hearing Darius Rucker's version for the first time.

What I miss is country music on country music stations.
Too much pretend country pop rap music being played.

[VideoDoctor]

‘Are they trying to take our music away from us too?’

I believe if you look closely there's nothing to take a way... Country Music left sometime ago.

Sorry to say.. "It's Gone with the Wind"

[JimRed]

Bigotry is not a conservative principle.

BIGOTRY (big-it-tree) Failure to agree in full with the pronouncements of persons of protected classes and the political left in general; speaking truths about the same when the truths are less than complimentary.

[kearnyirish2]

They ADMIT TO an out-of-wedlock birthrate of 3/4; you’re delusional. There is nothing stable or middle-class about that.

[kearnyirish2]

“The rest of melting pot/e pluribus unum America will continue on as one nation.”

That is exactly what happened for decades, and why the protests had to move from the ‘hoods to the highways and downtowns where normals commuted and worked. They understood nobody cared as long as they were contained in out-of-the-way places, so they had to disrupt the routines of working people.

[Svartalfiar]

Modern country music sucks. I haven't heard a good country music song since Darius Rucker did "Wagon Wheel."

There's plenty of good country music, you just have to look outside of Nashville and the bro-country crap. Several good artists coming from Texas and even Canada.
