cornographic Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Which country? There's some incredible music coming out of Pakistan in recent years, but I s'pose that's the wrong country... I don't follow Mur-can country music that much, since it became mostly that commercialized, Nashville stuff about pick 'em up trucks and the like I do like, however, the older, more down and dirty, soul wrenching, real sufferin' country music, can't think of any of the artists right now. Out here in Appalachia they have a deep and rich tradition of down hope, finger pickin' country/hillbilly/rockabilly(Elvis style) music that still lives today--really good stuff. Good ol' story tellers. Anyway, a friend of mine quit being a carpenter and moved down to Nashville and got a gig as a country song writer. But he got in a bad car wreck and it left him pretty much a vegetable. Bad deal. I like this Zac Brown guy, maybe more country "crossover" music, but real good stuff. Quote Link to comment

A couple of years back I heard country tune that included a lyric about a pick 'em up truck and ticks. "I wanna take you out in the back of my pick 'em up truck to the sticks....I wanna check you for ticks." Wow, pure poetry right thar', sheesh. Quote Link to comment

Hmm, sweet tea, that must be a new "innovation". Another marketing ploy. Sweet tea is the cool thing these days, I guess, evrybody's selling sweet tea: Well, add it to "momma, prison, pick 'em up trucks, railroad tracks, gun racks, and lost my wallet" and the like. Ticks, though, still an outlier when it comes to country, or any, lyrics. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Did you guys know all those music producers and technicians from the 80s L.A. hair metal scene all moved to Nashville? That's where all the money is because country fans still buy CDs, and that's why all that radio country essentially follows the same formula as 80s hair metal. Quote Link to comment
