Country music that is good.
screamingfool:
yeah but then john comes out with songs like 'that flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore' or 'jesus the missing years' which is the cutest song evar. "on his 13th birthday he saw a rebel without a cause, he went straight on home and invented santa claus, he gave him a gift, he responded in kind,gave the gift of love and went out of his mind"
btw i am still amazed that a man wrote 'angel from mongomery' but if anyone was going to do it it was prine.

yes.
--- Quote from: Ng on 07 Feb 2008, 04:40 ---I am bad at figuring out what is and isn't country music. Is Smog country music? If it is, then Smog is definitely good country music.

yes. not so much in his early work, but a river ain't to much to love is an exceptional country album.

I could spit hyperbole about this album forever, but let me sum up by saying I picked this as my album of the year in 2005, and here is the feature in which I declared it as such:

it should also be noted that there is considerable difference in country music between nashville and texas. during the recent drive from the hometown of new orleans to the home of the last five years of houston i noted this completely when listening to "whatever local country radio station i could find" and you could drastically hear the sound change somewhere between lafayette and lake charles from nashville centric country radio to what my mother calls "that goddamned texas twang".
along those lines a separate list should be made for texas country. as i generally like texas country more.
entitled "that goddamned texas twang" or "how come you're always going on about your lone star state". a list.
lyle lovett ("that's right (you're not from texas)" as previously referenced)
robert earle keen
adam carroll
willie nelson
waylon jennings
and most importantly:
charlie robison
then again, there's nothing like a good country musician in a noname bar in small town texas over a couple lone star beers and some gold tequila. recordings don't do justice. oh here i come el campo.
i mean: "i don't wear no stetson/but i'm willin' to bet son/that i'm as big a texan as you are/there's a girl in her bare feet/asleep on the back seat/and the trunk's full of pearl beer and lone star"
Scandanavian War Machine:
Scott H. Biram is from Texas.
i think i uploaded one of his albums to the mediafire thread a while back. it should still be active.
