1972. What a dirty polluted city. Yuck.
You realize of course that was almost 40 years ago? As I stated, if you were here, I am quite certain it was extremely polluted at the time.

I hear what your saying. I come from a rural background. Was raised on a farm till I was 15 and lived in rural America till I was 25. Some country music just grates my nerves like running your fingers down a chalk board. I can't stand women singing through their nose in a hillbilly twang.
Having said that there's some great country music out there and some incredible musicians. Roy Clark is one of the best guitarist I've ever seen, for example.
Now I may not be the biggest country music fan in the world....but that my son is what you would call a master.
Oh, poor baby. Are you craving some attention today? Am I neglecting you? Forgive me.
I can understand that but you have to admire the talent and the craftsmanship not to mention the timeless quality of the performance even if it aint your thang.I tried to like it, but...too twangy for me.
Hank Williams III.
The bands version of this Marvin Gaye classic is my fav.This is one of my favorite Band songs. It's a toss-up between this as It Makes No Difference as my favorite. But I have a lot of their music on my ipod.
See, taking that first step out of the closet wasn't so hard now, was it?
The first step to your true self is admitting who you like.
Here's some country for you Led Zeppelin fans. Robert Plant doing a song by Johnny Horton and covered by George Jones and now by Robert Plant.
Oh come on dude.....if you're going to post some Allison Kraus show em what she can really do!

I was posting Robert Plant and Alisson Krauss happened to be in it. I love her. Keep going.
"Out of the closet"? You mean the musician closet? I'm a bass player....I like American music......country, rock, jazz, blues.
It looks like The Band is not considered country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Band
They have some incredibly beautiful music.
Now don't go pretending you don't know which closet I was referring to. That is a step backward. But perhaps you like it backward?

Some country music just grates my nerves like running your fingers down a chalk board. I can't stand women singing through their nose in a hillbilly twang. Nor can I stand nitwits country musicians who make characatures of rural folks. There not all shit kickers or illiterate hillbillies or misanthropic rednecks.

Uhhh what do you mean "was"....he still is a master.Yeah, whether you like the genre or not, it is impossible to deny that Roy Clark was a master.

As far as all this hate on different styles of music, its all music. I grew up in Alabama. I hated Elvis and hated country music. In the 70s it was all Rock n Roll or nothing. Most of my friends were the same. Then sometime in the 80s we realized, as much as we had hated it back in the day we knew a LOT of country music.
I'm not a fan of the shiney suit twangy country music. But I can sing along with Willie Nelson as well as I can Skynyrd.
And John Prine is THE MAN as far as lyrics go.
