pixey Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Allison Krauss I first heard here when she did a song with Phish, since then I bought her albums and saw her in concert. One of the best shows I have ever seen and going to her show is completely different from any other concert. All the music was right on, didnt miss a beat, voice never wavered. Amazing singer. Plus shes from Champaign Illinois! Other then that I dont like it at all. I can only listen to Country if I am at a Family get together and everyone is drinking. Anyone heard "Alcohol", funny arse song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I don't care for the music, but damn why are the female singers so attractive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I really like Carrie Underwood, specifically "Just a Dream". But I honestly don't know much about the genre, except that what I've heard I haven't liked all that much. It's all right -- I'll listen to it because some of my friends really enjoy it.

KenJennings Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Heard one of my favorites the other day: "I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison, And I went to pick her up in the rain. But when I got to the station in my pickup...truck, She'd got runned over by a damned old train." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 My parents like country, both old and new, so I grew up listening to it. I don't go out of my way to listen to country, but if its playing on the radio I won't complain. Southern rock, on the other hand is not country at all, yet people still categorize it as such. Lynyrd Skynyrd (my first favorite band), Allman Brothers Band, The Outlaws, etc are all great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Traditional country is the best especially from some great "rock" bands: Neil Young Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes is my favorite. To hell with that pop junk like Sugarland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albone2112 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 QUOTE (tailwind @ Jul 22 2006, 01:55 PM) The "Silver Fox". CHARLIE RICH. The BEHIND CLOSED DOORS album. This is an album that you play all the way through. His two biggest songs are on this album: BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, and THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD. I like Charlie's voice over anybody in Country. He truly wore his heart on his sleeve, and you can hear it in his voice. I'll take his voice over ELVIS' any day! Another album like that is Ray Price's 'Night Life'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I listen to country, new and old. I am really digging Miranda Lambert as of late. I Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and want Revolution (don't have her first album, the one with Kerosene) Whoever mentioned Brad Paisley, I agree with what you said. Great guitart player and songwriter.

Xanadu93 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I used to listen to country in 5th-7th grades, when I wanted to listen to something besides Rush, but I never really kept listening to any. The only country I listen to with any regularity is Big & Rich, and I still don't listen to them that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 For me, in most cases, it comes down to the song. And there are a ton of great Country songs out there. A ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raygun47 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I saw Willie Nelson open for Dylan. He was great. My mom was a big fan. I heard a ton of Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Johnny Cash, Charlie Rich, and Hank Williams growing up. Hated it then... It was odd to see this post because I've just started to look into those songs again. The only person I always listened to was Cash, who I like a lot. Also, the Dead covered some songs from that era...which kept me semi-connected in the early nineties. Anyway, I haven't picked anything up yet...but I might real soon.

Serviette Onion Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hey..for those Rush fans who live in the New York City area longing for a radio station to play country music 24/7.... NEW YORK CITY NEEDS A COUNTRY RADIO STATION! BTW..isn't "Cold Fire" from "Counterparts' somewhat of a Country Tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm also digging Zac Brown Band too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softfilter Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 QUOTE (KenJennings @ Jul 22 2006, 08:03 PM) Country is hit or miss, not all country is crap like Rascal Flatts or the Dixie Chicks. Dixie Chicks have more of a traditional country(folk,bluegrass) sound then most of the popular modern"crap" on the radio.... And besides the Chicks STILL not embraced by the country community because of the "incident".. Love old country, George Jones, Jim Reeves, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins, the great Patsy Cline, Of course the music of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash,Loretta Lynn, Charlie Pride. Others just can't think of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I always say there's only two kinds of music. good and bad. with that said, Johhny Cash's folsom prison album is awesome. kinda cool how he talks to the prisoners like friends and also kinda pokes fun at the guards. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings I like too. Garth Brooks was kind of a guilty pleasure for a while. (but don't tell anyone! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

progrush2112 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I like a little bit of country. But not too much, too much country is bad for your health. But here's artists I DO like all around: Johnny Cash Willie Nelson Garth Brooks Kenny Chesney Shania Twain Toby Keith Zac Brown Band Then there's some artists that I like only a couple of their songs: Brooks and Dunn Big & Rich Tim McGraw (like him more as an actor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
