Fun Stuff > BAND

Country music that is good.

<< < (7/14) > >>

Borondir:
What's with the alt/new country hate?  Listen to both...definitely don't neglect the legends, but what kind of musical form is it if it doesn't offer interesting possibilities even now?

and tommydski, I agree, but I would add, get everything gram parson was ever involved with...the gram anthology is a good way to start.  Why did he have to die years before I was even born?

714:
i'm not a HUGE country fan, but i think it sometimes gets more shit than it deserves

if you like simple and beautiful love songs where people sound pretty genuine, many (not all) country ballads can do that without crossing the line to overly cheesy


but then theres always the stupid stuff like songs about cornbread and chicken that makes you want to shoot yourself after listening to them

Patrick:
You've clearly never had my mother's cornbread and chicken.
