FR: I'm taking a road trip with my darling new little girl soon...to Nashville of all places. Now, she's a bit on the sophisticated side. She doesn't like music that goes twang twang or Yee-HAH. So....I'm taking suggestions for things to play while I have her captive in the car for HOURS at a time. I'm thinking a lot of George Jones. A lot of Buck Owens. And some Minnie Pearl routines just for fun.

Any ideas? Its your chance to help me torture my baby!

Edited to add: Then again....there's THIS.

(and...Minnie Pearl and Liberace? its been 30 years since I've used those drugs...really)

I'm not REAL crazy about the really old country music, though I do like a lot of the old cowboy songs by artists like Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter, and Gene Autry. I like a lot of Hank Williams Sr. songs, but didn't really like his voice. Johnny Horten had some great songs though. And for a one-hit-wonder how about Loren Green's "Ringo"?

I do like the country swing type music of groups like The Marshal Tucker Band, and Charlie Danials.

I stopped listening to the local country music stations back when all the locals started boycotting the Dixie Chix (not that I liked the Dixie Chix all that much...I just thought it was the wrong thing for the stations to do) but probably my favorite country band around that time was Sawyer Brown, but that might be too recent to be applied to this thread.

Woody Guthrie
The Staler Bros.
Flatt & Scruggs

Mostly though, I prefer bluegrass. I've been in love with that form of American music since Steve Martin turned me on to it with his "Steve Martin Brothers" The "B" side of the album is all him doing some pretty hot banjo bluegrass.

Just to be clear.........new country (anything in the last decade or two for the most part) makes me want to vomit.

It is nothing more than bubblegum pop with a steel guitar. Ick, Eww, Gross!

Hi slaveboyforyou

Thanks for starting this thread you've brought back many old memories.

Funny how you make a mental picture of someone when you read their words...only to find out later that you had it totally wrong. I would never had thought that you were a country music fan.

You all have posted my favorites so not much to add but I think Hank Snow may have been left out. He was certainly an old timer.

Nothing like a tinny radio playing classic bluegrass country while watching an Ozark sunset on a warm summer evening.

Being a child of the 90s, my favorites probably fall under "new country" heading. Buuuttt...

Travis Tritt, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Toby Kieth, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Kieth Urban, Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans, Clay Walker, Blackhawk, Diamond Rio, Alabama, Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rhymes, Lee Ann Womack, Jo Dee Messina, Shania Twain, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks... and on and on-- Country was pretty much ALL I willingly listened to until I hit mid-teens. ;)

I love "Devil Went Down to Georgia". And... Great. There was a song by the Nitty Gritty Dirtband that I used to adore but I can't for the life of me remember its name. Oi. It was about a river, I think...? (If you know it, and want to link it for me, please link the lyrics, not a YouTube video; my internet connection is horrid and also massively shared. :P)

I'd like to state that I like pre-mini disappearance & re-appearance as a pop star LeAnn Rhymes. You know, back when she was the pretty teen with the most exquisite voice. :P

As a rule for all genre I listen to (saving, I suppose, instrumental which is just <3), I tend to be partial to music in which the voice(s) can be clearly made out, because I'm mostly deaf but love to pick up lyrics and sing along. Which... probably doesn't explain my love of Japanese pop and rock, but that's a whole 'nother subject. :D

The Dirt Band has a looooooot of songs out, many of them written by other people, and some of them not really country...was it Lost River? Rippling Waters? Fishing in the Dark? (And BTW, their musical version of the Benet poem 'The Mountain Whipporwill' is the precursor to CDB's Devil Went Down...')
