I also listen to a lot of classic folk. But it’s Quebec French stuff so I won’t bother y’all with it haha.

Anytime producers tried to make country appeal to a larger popular audience was another chunk in the quality.

In the 80s it was trying to sound more like rock, 90s more ballads and huge concerts (Garth) 21st century rap and pop.


Nice is though with the internet and YouTube you can find young people still trying to sing good country.

john denver sang rocky mountain high about the time the cockroachs started creeping in. glen campbell sounded to me like he ought to be performing in one of those all male san fransisco bath houses that were responsible for the rapid spread of aids in the 80's.

that is when country music started changing into the earache causing cacophony being played today.

Best country singer of all time is George Strait. Hearing songs by Justin Bieber on country radio stations make me sick.

Real country music is dead, I agree with Mrs Loretta.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Daughters took me to see Loretta a couple three years ago at a casino in Oklahoma.. She was great.

All the legendary country artists and rock and roll both wrote most of the music they performed. Today it sounds like it came out of a computer or something.

We have both kinds of music here-Country AND Western.

Do yourselves a favor and listen to Sturgill Simpson. He's the real deal. Sounds like Merle.
I've also been into Billy Strings and the Marcus King Band. I saw Marcus twice. Rita is gone and Plant your corn early are good tuned. He's a heck of a singer and guitarist. You definitely have to dig deep to find good music in today's world.
