I keed. As I texted a couple of you the past couple of days, I took the wife to see Luke Bryan Friday night in Atlanta. She's in love with the man and wants to have his babies so I gave her the tix as a gift. Have to admit it was a damn good show. I know we've had a lot of debate over what "country" music is or has become but that's not the point here. Sometimes, it's just a matter of watching a live performance and getting the opportunity to see some awesome musicians up close. We were dead center with the stage about 4 rows back so that was definitely the case.
Two opening acts with Cole Swindell and Lee Brice. I've played the guitar all my life so I pay more attention to what's going on there than the actual artist most of the time. And you can imagine that these record companies are marketing the stars, but they damn well make sure they're backed up by the best musicians they can find. But I also have to admit that both Brice and Bryan are pretty good musicians in their own right. Brice ripped up several leads during his set and Bryan played the piano, acoustic and electric guitars quite well.
Just an observation on the crowd. Two nights, both sold out for the 20,000 seat amphitheater. The best thing I can compare it to is an Auburn football game. Walking to the venue, it was mostly young, college age kids tailgating, music playing, cooking out, drinking heavily and every girl there had the little sundress on with cowboy boots. Just a typical Fall Saturday afternoon on the Plains. I'm not a big country music fan and I'm not running out and buying any Luke Bryan CD's. (The wife already downloaded all of it) But overall, it was an entertaining night watching young girls in sundresses, drinking cold Sweetwater 420's on draft and watching some killer musicians. I'd consider another one.

Kacey Musgraves & Jamey Johnson are a little too on the pop-country side for my taste, but still pretty good.
And unless anyone wants to see Hank III with me at House of Blues in New Orleans next Saturday, I'll probably be going by myself.

Well if many of them want to be heard beyond you tube they have to align with a recognizable genre.
Jose Feliciano, doesn't get much better.

I celebrate Cole Swindell's entire catalog.

Exactly, Van Morrison grunts out country lyrics. Griffin House resides in Nashville. They have to find a niche be it due to age or in House's case translation because his songs are pop which works for country if you wear the hat,even moreso with a twang.

That he did. So did Zac Brown. He actually called out Luke Bryan's Jacked Up Big Pick Up Truck song and was slammed for it.

It's called "That's My Kind Of Night" bucko and Luke really shook his hips while singing it. His teeth are whiter than white.

Listened to some Old Crow Med Show this weekend. And some Jason Isbell.
Good shit. Both of them. Had never really gave much listen before. Much better than the shit in mainstream. And as always, Hank 3 is awesome.

Yeah, I downloaded both his albums. Good shit indeed.

Sam Hunts new single Leave the Night on is pretty awesome.
-
The Band Perry - they are from Mobile. And while considered mainstream, they have throwbacks to mandolins and banjos in their music. But that's not my point here.....the thing to remember about Band Perry is the smoking hot piece of property that is their lead singer. Good googely moogely. She makes me tingly in special places. Yes, my anus included. No thats not an invite to VV.
The two brothers that play the instruments are talented but are kind of creepy trying to pull of this combination of an Oasis/Beatles look.
Plus, Kaos and the KISS fans on the X will like that they respect their Rock N Roll elders....

Been more of a lurker here than a poster but I've appreciated the sharing of some good bands in this thread. Many of which I have subsequently
stolen bought albums of and introduced into my music library.
SIAP but The Randy Rogers Band is a pretty good group too. Based out of Texas, I first heard them when they opened for Cross Canadian Ragweed (yeah I know...) at the Supper Club back in '05 or '06. They were better than the main act and I've been a fan ever since. I've caught them a few times since at Zydeco in Bham too. Can't search youtube from work to post any samples but their "Live at Billy Bob's" album is winner.
-
This thread has been dormant for a while. Lots of good stuff we haven't talked about, but I'm not bumping this for Chris Stapleton (although his album is awesome).
I'm bumping it for Wheeler Walker motherfuckin Jr.

I am disappointed by there being absolutely no discussion of Wheeler Walker Jr.
This is the country record of the century. I've been listening to those five songs on loop.
"I don't need no air! I'll just breathe your pussy, honey I don't care."

I don't remember little jimmy dickens, earl scruggs or roy acuff ever quite singing about that subject matter so matter of fact. Amusing but not quite my cup of tea with that genre.

Not true. It's just not as good as frequently! But you still have guys making good country music.

This^^^
This is one of the top hits on the country charts. The feel is really not "country" but if you got someone you love and this song doesn't do it for you...check your pulse. This my idea of retiring with my baby. BTW That's Rhett's wife and dog in the vid.

Same page here.
I want to murder him. Stab him in the throat with a sharpened spatula and break his nose with a mallet so he can't make that nasal whining douchey sound ever again.
Given the choice of listening to this shit once or yeah alabammer on loop for 24 hours? It would be a hard choice for me.
-
I'm trying to figure out where it is that you guys are somehow force fed a healthy dose of Thomas Rhett tunes. You hate country. You'd rather have a molten lava enema 4 times a day than ever have to listen to today's country. But somehow you know plenty about this middle of the road, at best, country singer and how his songs affect you.
Could it be....????

He's learning to play guitar and I asked him to play me a sampling of what he's into.
I immediately regretted asking and started steering him toward some classic rock riffs to cut his teeth on.

Miranda Lambert
Sam Hunt
Old Dominion
Snagalicious & the Snagettes will be in attendance.

April 23rd. 5:00 p.m. Auburn, Alabama. Jordan Hare Stadium.
Kenney Chesney ----- Sucks donkey dick!
Miranda Lambert ----- At least she writes her own songs and is cute as hell!
Sam Hunt ----- Yeah......Fuck that guy!
Old Dominion ---- Dont' know a thing about them, but since they are playing with the other three, well fuck them too!
Snagalicious & the Snagettes will be in attendance. -------- :facepalm:
-
Wait. Again. If you'd rather have a 6'9" Sudanese goat farmer shove his 12" STD infected, cancre sore covered cock up your ass while he strangles you with barbed wire, than listen to today's country, how do you know so much about these artists?
Could it be....?
Yes sir. Snagalicious will have his Snagettes in JHS on April 23rd. Will most assuredly have plenty of burrbinz as well. They do sell plenty of DCP in the stadium.
Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout her makes you just wanna dance
And she loves to dance

Chesney and Lambert have been around for years, it's kinda hard to not have heard some of their Music. Others have come from people saying stuff like, "Have you heard <insertnewbrodouchcountryartistnamehere> newest song? Man it's great!" So I give it a sample and usually within the first minute I can tell if I like it or not. I made it through 30 seconds of a Sam Hunt song and wanted to gag it was so terrible.
Could it be that I listen to it on the radio? Negative. I haven't turned my radio dial off The Rocket 95.1 here in Huntsville where they have more rock that a Columbium pack mule. Or so says the commercial. Unless I'm out of town and flipping through the channels I never stop the dial on a bro-country song unless me and the wife are making fun of it and counting how many times they mention the good stuff, trucks, creek beds and dirt roads, sundresses or tight jeans, beer or moonshine. To me, it's all cookie cutter stuff that's repeated in every song.

This guy gets it. Did you happen to listen to those Wheeler Walker Jr. songs?
Like I said before, obviously he's a novelty act and sort of a parody of country music, but the songs are actually extremely good. I have pretty much constantly have one of those filthy raunchy ditties in my head at all points in the day.
-

The dog committed suicide. No other dogs would even come to its funeral out of fear that earnest barefoot whiner nasal douche might have written a song about it.

Don't like it. Even as a parody, I'm not a fan of the lowbrow trash this guy brings.

The truth is if you had me list my top 5 as far as genres in music, today's country would be somewhere around #12 or #13. I couldn't agree more, and have said so myself on here, that 80-90% or 376/415ths of the male artists in country today are just talented pretty boys with a set of choppers you could sell billboard space on. They're propped up by the record labels/Nashville and sent into the studio and on the road to regurgitate the exact same pick up truck, slide on over here, sundress, dirt road, six-pack shit over and over. And like AU1, we've joked about the incredible number of songs with the exact same lines in them. Very little originality.
But...Snagette ain't too deep. She married me, didn't she. She wants a love song. She wants pour some wine and make love all night to you pretty little thing songs. She likes cute little play on word songs. She likes country. So, I get my share of it. If you have to listen to a lot of it, you do find some artists that don't fit the mold. And they are out there. As we've talked about, Chris Stapleton is quickly becoming a household name. Zac Brown Band has never gone along lock-step. In fact, Dave Grohl collaborated with them on quite a few things and raved about how talented they are. As for Chesney, he's never fit the true mold either but I've also never been a fan until recent years when he stepped away from country. His Life On A Rock album is almost solely his version of beach/Caribbean type songs. Love it.
I'll enjoy Chesney in concert. Don't care that much for Lambert's songs but I've seen enough of her in live performances to know she'll put on a damn good show. Sam Hunt and Old Dominion? Heard one song by each. A whole lot of meh. But, I'll be buzzed in Jordan Hare watching music played live. If I go to a "country" concert, it's usually because that's what Snagette wants. Not this time, I wanted to see Chesney. I normally go in not expecting much but come away thinking that wasn't half damn bad. A lot of kick ass musicians on stage.

I couldn't take a woman seriously if she liked country music. I know that's eliminating a shitload of soft lip country girls, but I simply can't tolerate it. At all.
If I went to a Kenny Chesney concert it would be because I'd been given a million-dollar contract to eliminate him entirely. And then I'd give the money back when the job was done.
People do what they gotta do.
I liked a little of the country back in the way old days. I can even listen to a hillbilly Hank Jr. song now and again.
But since Garth Brooks showed up in his fraudulent cowboy hat and since Reeber and Trisher and Sarrer and all that bunch started their tone-deaf yodeling? I'm done. It's not music. It's recycled beer foam. And I won't abide it.
Any woman in my life cannot like country music. I'm not going to listen to it. Ever. I don't want that fight.
Also...
She cannot be a Bama, Georgia or Tennessee fan.
She cannot be a Cowboys fan.
There are other rules, but those are important.

Oh yeah, right. Like I could ever get near Kenny. And if I did, do you really think I could get a blow job from him? I mean, he's got so many other younger guys he could blow. This is Kenny Chesney we're talking about. He could blow anybody he wants to.

This guy gets it. Did you happen to listen to those Wheeler Walker Jr. songs?
Like I said before, obviously he's a novelty act and sort of a parody of country music, but the songs are actually extremely good. I have pretty much constantly have one of those filthy raunchy ditties in my head at all points in the day.
I had listened to him before you posted those videos. I find it humorous. Right now I am still on my Sturgill Simpson kick. Can't stop listening.
Funny thing, the other day I popped in a George Strait CD (greatest hits or something another) I noticed how in his early days he sang good country music. He didn't write his own stuff, he tried and it was terrible and he admits that. But as time went on and his last few albums, he kind of sold out and started doing the pop country thing. Now the lyrics weren't cookie cutter shit, but he did sell out in my mind.

Well now, let's be realistic about this. If my dick is being sucked right, I'm usually going to be done in 4-5 minutes tops. After that, the dick sucking really needs to stop. Probably time to get a pizza or something.

Sturgill Simpson was a fan of Ben Hoffman (the comedian behind the Wheeler Walker character) who hooked him up with his superproducer, Dave Cobb. Cobb is the guy behind every country artist worth a shit in my opinion in the last couple of years. Sturgill, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapelton, and Shooter Jennings. Which is why, like I said, the humor is a bonus to actually a great record.
The whole record is streaming now on PornHub (LOL)

My favorite mag, Garden & Gun, is calling their latest "The Music Issue." Chris Stapleton is featured on the front and they have a piece on "Country Music's New Outlaws."
There's an interview they did with Merle Haggard, presumably before he died....could have been after. I don't know. I haven't read it yet....and Sturgil Simpson. They do small pieces on the up an coming country acts/writers like Aubrie Sellers, Parker Milsap, Margo Price, Cale Tyson etc. Also lists 6 "Outlaw Albums" that stand the test of time. AU1 would be interested to know that they give big props to Jason Isbell for being the catalyst for starting what they call the outsider country movement.
I just got the issue and haven't had a chance to read but a few of the write-ups, but I'm looking forward to looking them over and checking out some of theses artists' music. It appears the whole jist of the feature is looking at artists, both old and new, that don't fit the bro country mold that's been so prevalent the last few years.
And if you X'rs have never checked out this publication, I highly recommend it.

i wish he'd take that gun off his chest and shoot me with it rather than making me listen to his caterwauling.
Just not my thing.
I can listen to zydeco -- true zydeco, not fake ass Alan Jackson faux bullshit jizz gargling zydeco. I can also occasionally listen to extremely old country music. But anything that's come along, well, since Kenny Rogers and Clint Black and Barbara Mandrell and Crystal Gayle and all that Urban Cowboy shit goozled over? Every bit of it is absolute garbage and gets exponentially worse every year.
There's no place for country music on this earth any longer. It no longer represents anything real, it's all douchebaggy fakery. Garth Brooks led the parade into stupidity. The idiotic fucker has never even seen a cow, but he wore that dumbass cowboy hat, the dumbass cowboy shirts and the dumbass cowboy boots. He was and is completely inauthentic. Whatever was left of the genre, he evacuated his bowels on it and ruined it forever.
That greasy, nauseating pipsqueak fuck Kenny Chesney is just an extension of that utter fraudulence. If he got run over by a steamroller and squished into a pile of quivering goo tomorrow, the world would lose nothing.
It should just end.

Here's the thing.....everyone on here spouts this and that about country, hip-hop whatever.
I like music, I don't really care what the genre is, if it has a good beat and it is pleasing to my ears I like it. I like reggae, rock, country, blues, rap, top 40 and I listen to it in stages. If I get tired of one thing I will listen to another. Some songs stand the test of time: Beatles, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, RHCP, Johnny Cash, Toots and the Maytals. Others you listen to for a month and you never want to hear them again.
Wes mentioned Sturgis Simpson, great artist but to me he is more blues than Country... Who cares, he just sounds good and I like it.
Bottom line can we not just like the music because. I like Kenny not afraid to admit that. Is he Country? ...I don't think so he is a mix of top 40 and Jimmy Buffet, but so is Zac Brown and I like his music as well. Will it stand the test of time who knows.
Bottom line I like it all, except Dave Matthews...fuck that dude.

Hell, it almost did die. KISS was in the middle of that, too, riding that wave. Nelson was, however, just one or two songs. Same as Winger, Slaughter, etc. Glam rock came and went. What came after it -- GnR, Nirvana, etc. -- went back to the grind.
But that's not what's happening here. It's not trying to reconnect. It keeps celebrating swollen bags of shit like Chesney and that blithering moronic fuck Toby Keith and that ass boil Blake Shelton.

Yeah, but if "Junior" got his ass kicked by a "Paisley"...wow!!!
Speaking of Brad Paisley, I saw an interview with him a few months ago with some concert footage. Of course, the big thing lately is taking someone's phone from the crowd and doing the selfie thingy. Paisley would take the phone, put it on video and use it as a slide for his geetar. So, the footage you get is your phone going up and down the neck of his geetar in concert.
I'm no groupie or big BP fan, but I might keep that one and show it to a few peeps.

Really liking Simpson and East these days. Simpson is the extended version of Waylon without that rich baritone but he's not afraid to tackle anything while East has that soulful, gospel quality ala THE Band which really makes me like his style. Hope he holds true.

Sturgill Simpson was a fan of Ben Hoffman (the comedian behind the Wheeler Walker character) who hooked him up with his superproducer, Dave Cobb. Cobb is the guy behind every country artist worth a shit in my opinion in the last couple of years. Sturgill, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapelton, and Shooter Jennings. Which is why, like I said, the humor is a bonus to actually a great record.
The whole record is streaming now on PornHub (LOL)
NSFW. Cause Pornhub.

Have you listened to the shit that's topping the charts right now? That teenagers are eating up and buying the shit out on iTunes? Kendrick Lamar tells a lady to put her pussy on his taste buds as he's telling the birch to be humble. Last year at a college football game I heard a chart topping song call trap queen. A lovely song about cooking dope. Was #1 on the charts. On every radio station. In major sporting venues.

So sort of back on topic. (But the Puss In Boots video was country art at it's best) ESPN's Ryen Russillo is my favorite radio sports personality. Won't go into the reasons because it's not relevant here. But he switches up co-hosts and for the last couple of weeks, he's had a guy named Jason Fitz working with him. Really good duo. But Fitz is a unique character. He's done a lot of shit including touring for a long time as the fiddle player for country artists, "The Band Perry". Now he's in sports talk.
Background out of the way...he talks a ton about the music industry and some of the stuff he says is eye opening. He's brutally honest about people in the industry and today, Russillo had a segment where he took rapid fire caller questions about it. People asked all kinds of questions like who is the hottest country babe out there. He said most would say Carrie Underwood but Kasey Musgraves is much hotter than Carrie. "What country artist would you punch in the face?" Without a doubt, Alan Jackson. Huge asshole! Again, brutally honest.
But one caller tried to call out the current state of country as many of you have. "Why has country become nothing more than pop music? Why has everyone sold out and nobody plays music like Waylon and Willie and Hank anymore?" His answer was exactly what I've harped on time and time again. Fitz told the guy, "Because you won't buy it. You won't request it. You won't listen to it." Radio stations don't play it because nobody listens to it. If nobody's listening, sponsors don't buy ads. Stations shut down. "Country" changed because they weren't making money anymore playing Willie and Waylon and George and Conway. Let me give you another example from Fitz. The Band Perry got a Grammy nomination for their rendition of Glen Campbell's, "Gentle on My Mind". Mega hit for Campbell. The Grammy's recognized their artistry in covering it, but the song didn't make the top 40. Hence, the general public doesn't want to hear it.
If people actually wanted to hear the old time country and were spending their $$$ on that, artists would play it and stations would play and promote it. You can complain all you want, but just stop. Go buy all the George Jones and Earl Thomas Conley and Conway Twitty and the Twitty Birds and Barabara Mandrell and Gatlin Brothers and Oak Ridge Boys etc. you want and put your headphones on and have at it. That shit is in the past. If you like it, fine. Music is about your own personal taste anyway. But, until people put their money where their mouth is and quit complaining about the current state of country music, it's not going to change.

Nope. Didn't say anything like that. I said the ones who complain the most aren't doing anything to change it. They just continue to complain. People gripe but they don't buy the old stuff. They don't listen to it. They don't promote it. They just complain. And country music rocks on in it's current state making mega-billions for the industry and artists.

I do agree with Snag although I have a different take on it.
Insofar as country music, the genre was taken over by doucheholes in the 80s pretty much. I didn't really care for country but I could listen to and enjoy some of the stuff from Charlie Daniels, Merle and the old guard. It was never my thing, but I respected and appreciated it. Fact of the matter, I ran a weekend show on AM radio that was all country for about a year in 1980-81 and was exposed directly to the turn from bluegrass/opry ragged edged country to the more polished corporate shit. There was a definite line in the sand between what the different camps of listeners wanted us to play and wanted to hear. Nobody was happier than I was when we switched to Top 40 and I got to start playing Commodores, KISS, REO, Zep...
Country definitely took a douche turn with Kenny Rogers and the hokey shit spawned from the Urban Cowboy movie. Some of that, even, was palatable though.
Then at some point "country" music became Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt, Marty Stuart and those clowns. I loathe Garth Brooks with many of my being fibers.
Now? It's a pathetic wasteland populated by skeevy fraudulent douchenozzles. Far, far too many of the people who listen to it are mouthbreathing, strap-T, flip flop and sunglass wearing doubledouches. I'll concede that there is a fairly large trash whore hot contingent of women who congregate around the genre so that's a positive, but I'm not necessarily fond of having sex with woohoo girls who don't remember to take their gum out and smell like boubon and cigarettes.
But as Snaggle's post pointed out, this is the crowd that buys country music and attends country concerts.
Those of us who appreciate good music and musicianship are driven to other genres or to nostalgia-type acts. (Asia sounded terrible, Journey was good the other night).
As for the stuff Chizad posted? That's disgraceful. Just because a dumbass adds a new layer of vulgarity to the mix does not a genius make. That's terrible, unfunny shit. He can LOL all he wants, but there WILL come a time that he, as a parent, will reject that kind of infantile trash, be embarrassed that he ever thought it funny or cool, and hope that his children don't find out about it.
It's worth noting that rap/hip hop is also on its deathbed, having been taken over by a steady stream of talentless thugs whose only real talent appears to be the use of profanity. There's virtually no creativity, no musicianship, nothing but relentless banging ignorant noise. I've seen the hideous garbage some of you have posted here as evidence that the genre still has something to say, but it's just not there. That horrific turd Little Dickhole fits right in with the really shitty Motherfucker stuff posted in this thread. Chance "the rapper"? Bellowing in a screechy out of tune voice is not talent. We already had that with Biz Markie and that was better.
The fact that Nelly -- who I once enjoyed as a rapper -- is touring with Florida Georgia Line puts the nail in the coffin of both genres. Period.

Now, when I turn on the Old School Rap station on XM and Me So Horny comes on, I start singing along until I remember that my son is in the car with me. That will be Chizad in about 10 years, except when he listens to Willie's Roadhouse.

Don't get me wrong there, Chrissie Hynde. Whether it's the old country or the new pop country, it's never been in my top 5. Do I like some of it? Yeah, absolutely! And whether I like the music of a particular artist or not, I love going to a concert and seeing someone put on a great show. But I'll also be the first to admit that while they've tagged the country label on the pop stuff that's out there today, 75% of it bears no resemblance to traditional country. It's just what the mainstream is eating up and plunking down their cash for.

Country music HAS been hijacked by bro country. But these guys do put out a good "old" song every now an then that reminds me of times ago. And then they spit out a shitload of bro country.
Luke Bryan "Drink a beer" is about as old country as you can get.
Jason Aldean "Amarillo sky" paints an a picture in your mind of a hard working good ole boy doing his daily thing on a tractor. If you never knew a farmer, you don't know.
Cole Swindell "You Should be Here". Remind me of my brother every time I hear it.
Lee Brice "I drive your truck."
There are hidden jewels among the bebop stuff.
There are others that put out a few good songs along with the new stuff. Hopefully we can keep a mix going until we get back around to a more traditional sound.
But I think the younger folks are tired of the bebop shit on the pop stations and want something bebop that pertains to them. That's what the new stuff is tapping into. The kid that grows up in suburbia but drives a truck and still does stuff outdoors.

Not getting into all this again but..ok maybe I am...sub genres. Variety. It’s always been there.
Ill repeat this: half of cashs songs didn’t sound like traditional country. Ring of fire sounds like it came from Mexico. It has mariachi horns in it. Same with Marty Robbins. And eddy Arnold. Not everyone is going to sound like hank, Waylon and george jones.
What is referred to today as “reeeeel mommy partreee by Gawwd!†is really outlaw country. Jinks, Stapleton and the rest. Stapleton just got nominated for a pop Grammy for chrissakes.
If the songs are about real things, relatable things, women, booze, breakups, trucks whatever - as theyve always been? Actual instruments? Then yes it’s country. You just may not like it.
Few exceptions: Sam hunt, kelsea ballerini and the worst of all - carrie Underwood. There isn’t one aspect about their music that is country. None.
People need to drop this obsession over what is and what aint country and move on.

I think this is the true definition of what country is and should be.
I'm not sure Marty Robbins was what we refer to as just country. I think he was in genre all his own, alone. Dude could just write and sing a ballad. Probably the last great balladeer.
I actually heard a mariachi band play El Paso one night. I may have been the only one singing along.
I always wanted to have my own Felina. But I didn't want to get shot! And I'm not good with a fast horse.

Also who the fuck cares. I use this thread to introduce different artists who have a good sound who you may not heard of before, in this case the genre is country. Without some of these threads, I wouldn't know some of the artists that I listen to.
I like what I like. I like new country, Chris Stapleton, Kenny Chesney, Dirks Bently, Morgan Wallen. and I like Old Country, Waylon, Willie, Cash, George Straight.
I also don't like all new country, Dan + Shay, Sam Hunt and I don't like all old country.

Ed Zappally. I have never once been riding down the road, my jam comes on and I thought, "Dang, I really hope K and GH and the guys like this too." It's what I like and I'm not going to try and convince anyone else to feel the same way I do about it.
Back on the "country" note. It seems to be that there are more artists bringing back a more traditional country sound and style. Groups and artists like Midland, John Pardi, Stapleton etc. There's a song out now called On My Way To You by Cody Johnson. Heard it for the first time the other day and I thought this is kind of a throwback to old country music. Not exactly, but the lyrics, instruments and arrangement had that feeling.

Agree. Let everyone like who they want. Who cares. There are people who obsess over this day in and day out. Go on Facebook to any popular artist and look under any post. You’ll see the haters trying so hard to convince everyone that said artist is shit. Dude, why are you even following their page if you hate them this passionately. I just don’t get it.

Merle Haggard had something close to 40 number ones and nearly 70 albums. He embodied the Bakersfield sound although throughout his career his hits contained many of the same elements as his friends and contemporaries including Cash, Robbins and Jones.

I'm just gonna say this again.
I've got a couple of people who work for me who are constantly telling me "man, you'll like this. I know you don't like country, but this is some great stuff. It's really good country music." Every single time I want to rip my ears off my head rather than listen to the shit. Every single bit of it sucks dirt road ass. I HATE it.
There is no such thing as "good" country music. It simply does not exist. Every single thing I've heard since about 1983 is douchebagged shit. Every time I'm forced to endure some redneck asshole gargling twangy balls I have to immediately put on the earphones and listen to White Zombie or something to erase that hillbilly hee haw from my brain.
Other than Alabama football I can't think of anything I despise more than "country" music.
