So why the confession?  Because....I really, really like Toby Keith.   His politics suck.   He's overly produced.  But he's clever, and funny, and dammit I love his stuff.

Status: offline 		Buddy of mine's kid plays guitar in the Randy Rogers band. They're pretty good. Good songwriting. http://www.randyrogersband.com/ Me, I listen to classical, 60s rock, some jazz (esp. swing), blues, a little Punk, and some 80s & 90s Alternative (primarily Paisley Underground, Manchester, etc.) Oh yeah, starting to get into "New Roots" music (like the Dukhs)

This vid's Randy at the Gruene Town Hall. My ex and I had a mini-vacation around that area back in the late 80s, stayed at the B&B (sort of) right next door. Stayed in the corn crib, which was kinda like a studio/loft setup. Asleep At The Wheel played that night. Until about 2 AM. Some fine music. Long-necks and the Two-step.

There's some other shitty hand-held vidcam vids. Why people can't learn how to use them without shaking I don't know.

Good Lord, I forgot to mention Jerry Reed.  I was born in '75.  I remember Smokey and the Bandit and the CB craze.  My father gave out CBs on Christmas to all my relatives.  We had one in our station wagon.  I forget the handle my dad and mom used.    Thanks Jerry Reed and Burt Reynolds.

Status: offline 		My cool cover is already blown, so I will admit it.  I love Randy Travis.  I love the song, "Diggin Up Bones"  so much I learned to play it on my guitar.  My late grandmother would beg me to sing that song to her.  It really embarrassed me to play in front of folks before she died.  She specifically asked for me to sing a gospel song at her funeral.  I was so choked up that I declined.  I regret that decision to this day.

I am sick of politics, and I am sick of the offerings of current music artists.  I am a big fan of older country music (I think the new stuff is pop music, and it sucks.)  I was sitting here listening to one of my favorite songs Amarillo by Morning by George Strait, and the idea of this thread came to me.  We've had a few threads on rock artists, so I thought I'd be different and rear my hillbilly head. 

I love Hank Williams, Red Sovine, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, George Strait, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and many others.  Any thoughts?


Well ya know sb....

Alt country is really a throw back. Acts like Dwight Yokam, The Mavericks, Lyle Lovett The Derailers, Junior Brown, Steve Earle ect... You might want to try some Alt/Americana music stations.

The DNA of Alt comes from three you didn't mention, Wille (Red Headed Stranger is one of the greatest records of all time), Buck Owens and David Alan Coe.

Ok, it appears to be obvious that I'm also dropping the "cool sophisticated cover"!  Yeah...the first concert I went to was a Loretta Lynn show at The Civic....I was 7 or 8 years old and she looked like a beautiful princess in her long yellow dress.

Emmy Lou Harris
Dolly Parton
Jerry Reed
Johnny Cash
Merle Haggard
Willie Nelson
Waylon Jennings
Patsy Cline
Loretta Lynn

Does Charlie Daniels Count?  Love him, too.

Years and years ago I saw a "Hallmark Lite" card that had a picture of a seal on a doorstep, with a bow around its neck.  On the inside of the card it said, "You picked a fine time to leave me your seal."

Makes me chuckle whenever I heard that song.
