Fun Stuff > BAND
My parents wonder why I don't like country...
Gdog4evr:
I only like Country Music in small amounts, and even then the pickings are slim. Here are all the country songs I like:
Charlie Daniels Band - Devil Went Down to Georgia
Tim Wilson - Devil Was a Nerd In Highschool
Blake Shelton - Ol' Red
Blues Brothers - Ghost Riders (In the Sky) (and ONLY that version!)
Possibly one or two others that I stumble on, and that's about it.
Pengraffe:
Inlander, for the normal outside world, bluegrass and country are grouped together but they actually have very different origins. "Country" is more based in cowboy music, whereas "bluegrass" was born out of appalachian folk music and celtic origins. The elements have blended in some areas, but you won't find the same pitch correcting and general lack of musical talent in bluegrass that you will in mainstream country. (Allison Krauss sounds just as good in a 30 person venue as she does in her recordings.) And there is no "look" required for success in bluegrass. It remains a little corner of music where raw talent shines through. Have you checked out the "Van Lear Rose" Loretta Lynn album produced by Jack White?
TheCourtJester:
Johnny Cash IS awesome. I happen to live in a town that's in the title of oe of his songs (hint : __ prison blues.). Still ... I don't really like country all that much, especially the very twangy stuff.
Props for liking Jazz though. There's no genre that even comes close (this coming from an avid punk and indie fan, too).

My problem is, because I dig so many different styles of music I just don't have the money to fully explore every one. Speaking of Jack White, for instance - I don't even own any White Stripes albums (hangs head in shame). Thanks for the suggestion, though - I shall endeavour to check it out.

Best "supergroup" ever is the Highwaymen. Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and I can't remember the fourth member. Kris Kristoferson(sp?)?
