Old Country

Bluesiestman · 10-15-2005, 01:10 AM

Who likes old country? like Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, Lorretta Lynn, Emmy Lou Harris, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard ect. Not this modern country, like Keith Urban or whatever. Thats just bad 80's rock'n roll.

I like Johnny Cash the most out of those. I'm not a big country fan, but I definently prefer older country to today's country.

I'm glad someone else finally made that connection.

I only listen to Johnny Cash and he rules, so it's in the cards for me to check out a lot of other old county artists.

Someone supposedly wrote the movie star a letter reading, "How old Carey Grant?" The movie star wrote back, "Old Carey Grant just fine. How you?"

The only country musician I listen to is Johnny Cash. I've tried to get into others liek Hank Williams, but I just can't see what the appeal is.

I'm definitely into it. I've been a Johnny Cash fan for a few years, and I'm starting to get into guys like Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson too.

Me too

Anyone heard 'Pop Country Really Sucks' by Hank Williams III (grandson of)? Funny as hell, a tribute to the old guys.

The Lyrics:

"Well some say I'm not country
and that's just fine with me
'Cause I don't wanna be country
with some large bundle of sticks looking over at me
They say that I'm ill-mannered
that I'm gonna self-destruct
But if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

So I'm here to put the "dick" in Dixie
and the "****" back in country
'Cause the kind of country I hear now days
is a bunch of ****in' **** to me
They say that I'm ill-mannered
that I'm gonna self-destruct
But if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

Well we're losing all the outlaws
that had to stand their ground
and they're being replaced by these kids
from a manufactured town
And they don't have no idea
about sorrow and woe
'Cause they're all just too **** busy
kissin' *** on Music Row

So I'm here to put the "dick" in Dixie
and the "****" back in country
'Cause the kind of country I hear nowdays
is a bunch of ****in' **** to me
And they say that I'm ill-mannered
that I'm gonna self-destruct
But if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks

And if you know what I'm thinkin'
you'll know that pop country really sucks"

I've got some Hank Williams and Johnny Cash tracks on my computer and like them. Haven't really heard any of the others though.

halfdeadhippo · 10-16-2005, 01:46 PM

I like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, Hank Williams is meh to my ears, and I haven't heard the others.

Hank III rules. Hank Sr rules. Hank Jr sucks.

I'm just starting to get into country. I've heard a few artists, e.g Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams etc. plus a few others. Good stuff.

PepsiMetal · 10-18-2005, 02:00 AM

I listen to Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, etc.. Anyone heard Cash, Nelson, Jennings, and Kristofferson songs like highway man? That song is sweet. They also did other songs when they had that group thingy going. Johnny Cash is definetely the best of them all imo. There's a movie coming out about his life and such which should be interesting.

Hey that new Johnny Cash movie I walk the line is going to be out next month. Im gonna try and watch it asap. Should kick ***.

Mazeppa · 10-29-2005, 07:47 AM

I enjoy Johnny Cash and have a couple of his albums. I also have a few songs by Hank Williams which I like aswell. That all the country I listen to though.

rockinbass17 · 10-29-2005, 11:02 PM

I listen to alot of country-influenced rock, so I should try to get into older country, but I've only heard Cash. It's not the easiest genre of music to find at a local record store, and I have no idea were to start. One day I'll get around to it. Lately I've been in a folk/country/rootsy mood.
