Whats your favorite Country song.

[clones_jer]

so I never really knew what "Pancho & Lefty" was about - but I liked the tune ... turns out the guy that wrote it isn't all the sure what it was about either.

Anything by Brooks & Dunn

CyforPres, not sure how you can bag on "new country" and then post all Brooks & Dunn...

they're about as "new country" as it comes, sharing the spotlight with Garth & Alan Jackson when country really took over a big market share

When I say new country, I mean in the last few years. Performers like Taylor Swift are not really country. Good ****, but not country. Brooks and Dunn is very pop at times, but they are as close as your going to find on the radio today. All I'm saying is that if you want real new country, you have to look to alternative.

Shania Twain was T-Swift before T-Swift's parents bought that faulty condom.

the era of Garth / Alan Jackson / Clint Black / Vince Gill and a couple others like quadrupled the market share of country music and brought about the new "pop-ish" sounds.

blame them if you have to - but Kix & Ronnie are a helluva lot more like those 4 than any older stuff.

This is probably in my Top 10 Country songs of all time. The others were just some good ones off the top of my head.

YouTube - Waylon Jennings - Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way

Love Johnny and Dolly and Tanya and Garth but this and alan Jackson's Remember When have always been my faves!!

 

[Cyclonefarmer]

Little known country song, never could figure out why it wasn't popular.

YouTube - The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia (live)



BTW, if I was judging that competition I would've sent Johnny's soul to hell. His song sucks compared to the Devil's.

I never knew it wasn't popular-I used to hear it a lot. And I kinda agree with you on the BTW (checking for lighting now-lol)

Sorry but Garth Brooks brought country to the mainstream and for better or worse a lot of people sold out after that. If you listen to Garth compared to the crap today you see country is getting further and further away from what it was. Half of the people that claim to be country have never set foot near a horse or country setting.

Examples

Keith Urban
Kenny Chesney- after losing weight and becoming a tropical wierdo
Billy Currington- lives in Hawaii

I miss Chris LeDoux, Classic George, Garth (even though he's more new age), the outlaws. I still don't care for the Rockabilly country or whatever that stuff is called.

That said..

Love this newer one

Probably one of the best videos too

Also love Alan Jackson's version of That's the Way... My wedding song and always gives me chills.

Not really country in the classic sense, but every song on Zac Brown Band's album is really good. It's a country/island mix, but much better than Chesney, imo.

Just play "whatever it is" for your girl & watch her melt!

I'm a big Blackhawk fan too - sort of boy-band-ish sound at times, but whatever. I have a buddy in the special forces that still claims N'Synch was a great band and everybody just hated on them in the end to be popular ... and he can kill you 8 ways before you hit the ground, so we all just smile and nod.

I would agree that B&D go with that group, but that music is closer is Cash and Waylon that songs like "Lover, Lover." I'm just saying that the alternative stuff coming out now is more country than Craig Morgan or similar. It just feel more original. It doesn't really matter because its all based on perspective and opinions.

Yeah, well, that's just like... your opinion man.
