I just assume now there is no more music, country , rock or any other kind. No actor's worth a flip, no movies, no tv show's, no nothing! Can't have an imagination if you grow up with your nose stuck in a telephone 24/7, it's the zombie generation now.
Well I’m in the minority here but I like it. Still like my 80’s rock but a lot of the guys Listed are avid outdoorsman. I like the older as well and like the mix. Now new rock, R&b and pop I can do without
… I agree Yote… we’ve had good alternatives to top 40 country crap down here since I was in high school … could ride a little ways to a bigger town and there was always someone who’s known now playing for a 5$ cover
… still all I listen too… but I’m afraid whiskey myers might be racist unfortunately .. see below..
Just got back from a quick road trip and once along the way lowered standards enough to listen to a "country" station for about 30 minutes. Confirmed what I already knew......but with a twist.
For the country cult bunch, most are familiar with the iconic piece by David Allen Coe song "you never call me by my name", in which he revealed that the perfect country song had to include references to "momma, rain, trains, trucks, prison and getting drunk"........which begat the last verse.........."well I was drunk the day my mom got outta prison........and I went to pick her up in the rain......."
For the traditionalists.......modern country songs......most them......still include those.......with a twist..........it is now cold beer, pickup truck / 4 wheel drive, and trains have been replaced with dirt roads/country roads.....and momma with some girl. All of them........sung to same old same old modern version of the nasal "twang". All the singers have two first names. Luke Bryan? Or Justin, Jason, Luke, etc. and all have their own signature costume and cowboy had they will never be seen in public without.
The station I used to listen to played "acid country". Instead of a play list that was maybe 20 songs long by same old same old, it may have been 20,000 songs long. Right after the current top 40 hit from Dolly or Willie or George Jones or Loretta might be Bob Wills. Not only a cover of Bob Wills by Asleep at the Wheel, but the actual Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Not only a cover of a Son's of the Pioneers by Riders in the Sky but actual Sons of the Pioneers. Remember the line from "Bob's Place" in the Blues Brothers.......where they played both kinds of music.......Country and Western? Not only songs by Johnny Cash with the Carter family singing backup, but would play the actual Mother Maybelle Carter singing "the Wildwood Flower". That was them. The morning DJ was Ron Lutz..........the 500 pound round mound of sound.....who could also play and sing himself.......and knew a whole slew of those performers personally. And that just one dinky podunk station in the middle of nowhere.
When it came to trucks, there was room for a Dave Dudley, Red Sovine (Phantom 309), a CW McCall and even Cledus Maggard and his "White Knight".
All that from one station and it played all day long........dawn to dusk. It was entertainment you could listen to all day long and never get tired of it.......caused it was never the same. Sad news is that station is still around and still claims to stick to the tradition of country music, and is a classic country station, but really isn't. They have a very short playlist of truly horrible songs from tail end of country music, right before it died.
Sad part is there is still a demand for the old sound, but will be hard pressed to find anyone that can sing it. Pure country sound. Acid country. There are a few. Here is Suzy Boggus doing a cover of the old Patsy Montanna classic..........let's see Taylor Swift cover that.
Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.
Will throw out a better one........anyone in the past 50 years what went to a place that had live or recorded country music and a dance floor...........when this song came on the only one's who didn't get up to slow dance were the ones who couldn't walk.
In the modern era, is there a comparable standard? I doubt it.

Years ago, in Branson, we were privileged to see a group called "Sons of the Pioneers". Roy Rogers once sang with them. They said there were two kinds of country music, Country Western and Country. Country Western were singers like their group and singers like Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, Patsy Cline, etc. The more modern country music includes singers like Collin Raye, Sarah Evans, Kenny Rogers, Alan Jackson, etc.
SIGN ON A FARMER'S FENCE: Do not cross this field unless you can do it in 9 seconds because the bull can do it in 10.
CM on the AM/FM radio seems to come in two forms....old......new.......plus now and then you find a hybrid.........about 4 songs in 5 are modern, the 5th being a "classic" song......but even those only go back to the 90's or newer.
For those wondering.......a decent place to look if you have it.......SiriusXM..........channel 61.........Willie's Roadhouse. That will keep you entertained and going for a few hundred miles.
