He went and did it again. This country music thing is pretty damn good. Sometimes you have to wonder about his talking heads. (Wynton Marsalis? Wtf?) But, in the end, pretty good.

I loved the 'west' episodes, and I love them for sleeping aid, but honestly, I still can't get over Benny fucking Ken burns. Gross

be real curious what you like, because almost everything we listen to now came out of it somehow.Quote:

’Popular’ country music like on most radio stations is drek, just like pop music in general. But roots country is sublime, just like roots rock. And whatever you call alternative in country.
As Woodsy pointed out, country music is pretty basic to rock and blues, etc.
Muddy Waters didn't listen to no cracker hillbilly music, that's for sure.
Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae, House, Techno... None of those genres came from Country Music.Quote:

There are a lot of country tinged stuff that I do like as well other southern influences. But the straight up country stuff is just somehow different. It just doesn't resonate with me and I just tune out. Dunno, seems like it could be catchy enough.Quote:

For those that say they don’t like country music, be sure
to stop by this thread and give a listen - School me on GOOD country music

In the place I come from, and was at through my early/mid 20s. There were two types of radio stations. in our vernacular of the time they were either Black or Country. We did not get what you might think of as a "rock" station unitl 1988. and even then the signal was weak as shit and went outta business in a year. I HATED country and I still do.
Those things said, mrs. MT coaxed me into watching last night and I was damn impressed. Still not a fan of the music whatsoever, regardless of how you argue AOR came out it. but it is very, very well done.
Sorry, Lil Nas X and Billy Ray disagree.Quote:

Geez, Tom, kettle black?
Watched episode 7 last night and the "countrypolitan" sound bears a lot of resemblance to todays Country. Difference is then you could literally kick the fucking door down if you sold enough records, which Willie & Waylon proceeded to do. AS Waylon said "they didnt need Nashville, but Nashville needed them"Quote:

Wow, there are some fucked up pictures of Cash at his bottom.
Opryland!! I spent a few birthdays there in the 80s.
Only day I've been to Nashville the Ryman was closed for a private event. So, went to the Johnny Cash museum, walked around that cool riverside park, and then hit some cool bars. Nice town. It's one of the bachelorette party hotspots in America. Roving gangs of drunk, silly girls. Foodie town, too. I like Memphis more, though. More soul.
