It's all rubbish.

Aw someone likes country

 

Speak to star/Halo and they'll inform you about our shared hate for it

 

It wasn't started as a personal attack so why the rudeness?

 

Good music is good music, Darlene. Only those wearing blinders and concerned about THEIR own interests would think otherwise. Now, what can I find that is so country that they will smell the cow pies? BRB :tas

 

David Allen Coe-If That Ain't Country
David Allen Coe-Long-Haired Redneck
This ex-biker, ex-addict, ex-con says it all and isn't afraid to tell it like it is. I love his stuff.
I think music is just an expression of feelings. Sometimes it takes a different way to say what you feel,
AIn't no right way, Ain't no wrong way!

 

And that gives you the right to walk on someone else's feelings?
Shame on you!!!!!!!
GOOD musician's have an open mind, because they never know where their inspiration will come from. Aren't you a musician?

 

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but I must agree if I like it, I will listen to it, that would include some country LOL

The only "music" I will never like is gangster rap :boxing:boxing:boxing

 

These guys didn't limit themselves and are worldly famous
One of the longest lasting, successful rock bands.
The Rolling Stones - Country Honk
One of the 70's most popular rock bands.
Creedence Clearwater Revival- Midnight Special
One of the best blues and rock guitarists ever.
Eric Clapton_Tulsa Time

Sorry, mcadam...but you picked on one of the nicest, caring, mellow ladies on this site. That was just wrong.

 

i love country music especially blue grass with the steel string banjo's.

i'm with Darlene and Muskie EEEEE HA

Darlene - I apologise if that was how it came across - this was by no means the intention. Perhaps a smiley would've been best at the end of my previous post.

musksnipe - I'm not walking over anyone's feelings, merely adding some banter to the thread but if that is not welcome then fine. And also, I didn't 'pick' on anyone.

Yes, I am a musician but don't enjoy this genre of music - I am, however, entitled to my opinion. Also, how could I say I disliked it if I hadn't listened to it previously to give it a try?

 

You are, as is Darlene. You posted the thread about your song, which was well done, not quite my taste, and sounded alot like the theme music from a game that I have played, so I thought better not to say anything because it would have been rude.
You may have not meant wrong and it probably struck me that way because I like Darlene and the way she interacts here and I feel like she deserves respect.
Peace!
I'll leave you with this.
MERLE HAGGARD - Okie From Muskogee

 

I would've definitely welcomed your critique!!

 

We're good, I didn't start the thread for myself, being I stay in the blues one, I just thought it would give others a chance to put up music they like. I do know there are those who like country. If there is a thread I don't like I try to stay away from it, then it doesn't grate on me

 

Funny story. I grew up forced to listen to Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Sr., Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, and a host of others. I hated country!!!! (I am a die-hard fan of rock and the blues)
One day, after getting out of the service and taking my Dad to a bar on Father's Day, so we could bond, I asked him what he wanted to hear on the juke box. He wanted Hank Williams (suprise!) "My Bucket's Got A Hole In It" So listening to the song and after having a few beers, I asked, "Just what the heck is that all about?"
He told me in the old days before mass produced beer-in-a-bottle, the farmers would go down to the general store and buy their beer to take home in a bucket. This farmer had a hole in his and couldn't get any beer!
I almost cried. LOL
From that day on, I have listened to some country, especially Hank, Merle, Waylon, and David Allen Coe.
"My Bucket's Got A Hole In It" by Hank Williams

 

That's a good site Bill, believe it or not I don't like country, not in the strictest sense of the of the genre, but I love bluegrass! Go figure?

 

The Hag is from Bakersfield. there's a Buck Owens Blvd, and Merle Haggard something or other (saw it at the airport when my daughter came to visit.

 

I do like this, stick it out to the end (worth it)

Musicians use that same literary license (I think thats what it's called) that writers do. So, a native Californian can be an Okie, can't he? LOL

Thanks, Darlene.... I have that song on my PC but not that version. I like it.!

 

Got a story - Used to go to this biker bar in Ojai, well there was Harley's, VW's, Beemers all around bar, had the best music on week-ends you could ever hear anywhere. Not country, R&B, Rock, Southern Rock, anyway during an intermission the juke box was playing Friends in Low Places, the band came back the juke box was unplugged and everyone began to complain. The band had the juke box plugged in and played along (they did good too)

 

Cool.... :cool
I've heard some bar bands that should have never come back from break.

 

Usually with southern roots, Oklahoma, Arkansas, you know it's against the law to pronounce Arkansas - Ar Kansas. The dust bowl drove em out, guess Bakersfield reminded them of home. Pity

 

One of them was Rick ? from Steppenwolf he had a young girl with him that sounded like Janis Joplin.
Never ever a bad band and no wasn't the liquor LOL although some used to say the "more you drink the better we sound".

 

I love everything The Eagles do. When they did Hell Freezes Over Don Henley said something like, "we didn't split up, we took a 9 year break. funny

 

Never been into country music, but have always enjoyed listening to our Olivia Newton-John when she sings country

Hi Darlene I guess everybody said it all be it good or bad. I personally prefer new country like Josh Turner.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPPXHiaiKqs
Now this is one good looking man with a deep sexy voice:drool and there are alot of others like Rascal Flat, Dierks Bentley,Keith Urban, I could go on an on but I won't Muskie is sitting here making eyes at me anyway bottom line is I like all country but I perfer the new. Oh and by the way I hope everything is going well with you:wave

 

Just so you all know, my picture was supposed to be there, not this>>> :drool

 

I still don't get how we expect country music to be taken seriously when someone always brings up Merle Haggard.

No, you need the real core country. Cash. Presley. Tucker. The Tillises.

 

I did not know she sang country :confused

He is a qutie, reminds me of one of my grandsons

Oh, she sees you all the time LOL

I forgot about Mel Tillis, couldn't talk but sure sing, I liked Coca Cola Cowboy,

Pam Tillis - Don't Tell Me What To Do
One of the Boys- Gretchen Wilson

I agree...her voice is unique. She still does country, popular for her songs she's still Australia's Sweetheart
