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.

Roy played some beautiful music, one of my favs.

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.

"Out of the closet"? You mean the musician closet? I'm a bass player....I like American music......country, rock, jazz, blues.

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?

It looks like The Band is not considered country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Band

They have some incredibly beautiful music.

The Band is great. I guess its blues, as someone said. I always thought of them as hippy blues. They started out as rockabilly.

The Weight, Up on Cripple Creek and The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down are two of my favs. Remind me of my partying days.

Nor can I stand nitwits country musicians who make characatures of rural folks. There not all shit kickers or illiterate hillbillies or misanthropic rednecks.

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.

John Prine is brilliant as is Willie Nelson.
