If That Ain't Country

In this era of popular music, I don't think Country has ever been this popular. Not even during the height of Johnny Cash's career or back in the 70's when Country Rock dominated the Western US. I got this new boss at work, he loves "Classic Country" but despises the main stream. Bunch of catchy hooks and not as inspiring lyrics. He's got a point, but these modern artists are basically the new rock stars now. And Country and Rock has always had a shared history together.

 

Eventually it will go out of style. 

Pop country. Yep- it's very popular with the young people who would have been rock fans 25 years ago. What I don't like about it is, well, it's not country. Screaming guitar solos and rapping the vocals aren't country. And they're all young beautiful people, like American Idols. To me, good country is like blues. The older a performer is, and the more hard living they've really done in life, the better it is.

But there is a lot of good new outlaw stuff out there. A lot in this thread in fact. That will always have its place I think.

^^^The first 25 seconds of that video is one of many reasons why he's my #1.

Busted- in Baylor County

To the dude who knows Shooter- sounds like a true story. 

 

The actual song Bad Magick might be my favorite Shooter song

I actually got to hang out with Shooter 2 weeks ago. He was in town doing an acoustic song swap set with Jason Boland. From my understanding this song is completely true.

Fuck yeah dude- I'd like to burn some shrub and listen to some tunes with you some day. ???

Where you guys located? I'd highly recommend catching Shooter live. He's been touring with the Waymore's Outlaws, Waylon's band, he's only touring with them through March then he's hitting the road with his band. The Waymore's are such a treat to see, those guys are legends and kill it, even on Shooter's newer non traditional stuff.

Personally, I live near Lawrence KS/ Kansas City. I would love to see one of his shows if he was close by.

I'm in Dayton OH, the way his touring schedule has been as of late I've gotten to see him a shit ton this year. I've gone to at least 15 shows this year alone.  Of the days he has listed at shootetjennings.com I'll be at 2 for sure, but he'll add more. His wife is actually from Kansas, she's a huge GNR fan. Shooter is too, whenever we talk it's about GNR or He-Man.  He even played Oh My God for me on his XM Radio show not that long ago.

Wow- that's awesome! Isn't his wife that actress who was on the Sopranos (sorry but I can't remember her name, but remember the show) Do you know what town she's from? I never heard that before. And didn't he get an offer to be the singer for Velvet Revolver once upon a time? Man, that would've been Fuckin mind blowing.
