I'm probably the only wino that listens to country music. My wife bought me an older Toby Keith cd. One of the songs is with Willie Nelson: Beer for my Horses......Big deal, I guess, but I can't get enough of it. I'm rambling on........

You're not alone. There are a lot of country music fans here.
- Thomas - 03-15-2006
Yeah, there are: depends on the country...

Love that Alan Jackson!

If you like Country music you should watch "Nashville Star". It's a singing/performing competition on the USA network (I think). It's much better than American Idol, as the singers are a bit older and experienced. Also, it's just better music!

Wow, I'm shocked...... I would never have guessed.

Last weekend the two hour show on GAC of the Grand Old Opry at Carnegie Hall in New York was fantastic. Love that Alison Krauss.

Did you know Allison Krauss has won more Grammys than any other female preformer?

I didn't get to her (Alison Krause's) performance in Charlotte but hope to catch her act another time. I like some of the country/crossover music (in the past acts like Crystal Gayle and Glenn Campbell). Today I like some of Toby Keith songs but haven't purchased any CDs or audiocassettes.
I enjoy jazz, blues, bluegrass, classical, folk (American or Irish), middle-of-the road, early rock such as Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Doobie Brothers, and still enjoy Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Elton John, etc. just not rap (especially gansta') or hip-hop or really
drawly, twangy country music.

Country music fan right here. But if you ask me, newer Toby Keith and crap like Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, etc., isn't country at all, it fits better into the pop genre. We can talk country when we talk Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Tex Ritter, Frankie Laine, Dwight Yoakam, Chris LeDoux, George Strait, etc. (older Toby Keith was country, but he's long since left the genre). Allison Kraus is folk/bluegrass, also not the same as country, but I do love Allison and bluegrass as well!

I hear what you're saying AP but that the song in the title of this thread is a classic. Willie Nelson is country music and put him with Toby Keith.......... I do agree with you, especially Rascal Flats and Keith Urban. I change the station if either of those come on. You call it pop; I call it sissy country but it all means the same.

brappy...I give Willie his due, I don't mean to respect him. In and of itself, I actually do like the beer for my horses song, if it weren't for the fact that I'd heard it 8000 times on the radio. But yeah, gotta love Willie. I've been listening to Robert Earl Keen Jr. this evening, he's fantastic too. I think I brought my point up mostly because I'm frustrated with the direction Toby Keith has gone lately, but I guess that's his prerogative as an "artist."

There must be some Japanese bar song that is the converse of Country with the lines Sake for my kobe cows... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
