Does Country Music Need An Alcohol Intervention?

Fat ass ≠ nice ass. She looks wide enough to have given birth to some sort of wild animal.
 
Hate to revive an old thread but I've had country music on all day - old and new. Obviously, I think EVERY music genre has had a steep decline in quality, but none moreso than country music. I honestly forgot how good country music was 10+ years ago because of how bad it is now.

21st Century Country blows.
 
Mid 80's, country music took a big crap (although I think Alan Jackson is the real deal.)
Grab you some pre-80 country music, sit back and enjoy.
 
I went to a concert in, I think, 2000. Tracy Lawrence, Doug Stone, some of the members of Restless Heart, JoDee Messina, John Berry, Martina McBride, MAC DAVIS!, Brian White and many others. It was a great concert.
Go to a Dwight Yoakam show when he's in your town, you will not be disappointed.
Catch a Hank Jr. show if you can. He plays every instrument on the stage.
Alan Jackson is also a great show.

Dwight Yoakam is awesome!

There are no bad Dwight songs. I do like me some Buck Owens also.
Dwight usually ends every gig with an extended version of Long White Cadillac.

Never seen him in concert but he did live performances on Don Imus' show on MSNBC several years ago. I recorded Imus every time he or Martina McBride was on. He was every bit as "energetic" in those performances as he is in his music videos. One concert I'd love to see sometime.

He stands up there and belts out hits for two solid hours. He visits with the audience and puts on a great show.
Plus, by playing casinos and smaller venues, the prices are great for even the best seats. I've seen Dwight about six times in the past few years.
 
Here's Martina McBride performing several covers as well as Concrete Angel:



This stuff is so good - what country music should sound like right here.

Can I get on the BobbyFord Travel Package for a Dwight Yoakam concert?

Oh yeah, Kyle's a puss. :D

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm not into a whole lot of country, but there are still some great country artists out there. You just aren't likely to see them on tv or find them on the country-pop radio stations. Junior Brown is my favorite in the country genre:

 
I've been to the Opry a few times, and they usually have some up and coming acts that are pretty good. Trouble is, when they sign the big record deals, they're forced into the generic "girl and a truck and some beer" type stuff.
 
Anyone else catch "the 15 songs that changed country music" on ABC last night?

Some of it was pretty good, I will say I got pretty annoyed when they had Hunter Hayes do a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison".

I have to believe you when you sing, I just can't believe Hunter Hayes when he does a cover of Johnny Cash.

Didn't our favorite female NA$CAR driver do a music video with Big Smo? Actually only good thing about that video was DP.

I think you might be thinking of Colt Ford maybe, I know he did a video in my hometown with her in it, unless she was in another video as well.
 
I finally signed up for Google all access. I love it, tons of music no commercials.

I pick my songs, no more stupid ****.
 
What they need most is an award show intervention. They have the CMA awards, ACM awards(can anyone tell me the difference between the two), the CMT awards, GAC awards. Last night they had a countdown to the next awards show show. I could maybe understand if they were nominating different people but it's the same 8 or 9 people for EVERY award EVERY time.

She's done 2 CW music videos one with Colt and one with Miranda Lambert. I'm not a big Country fan so I don't know many of their names.

Actually the early-to-mid 2000s had some decent music. But it's also the era when Big & Rich and Jason Aldean came around to kill the genre.

I never liked Big and Rich much, but Jason Aldean is just plain horrible. That is a horribly overdone (read fake) accent and his songs all seem to be the same. The only one of "his" songs I ever heard that I did like was one of Brantley Gilbert's that Aldean redid called Dirt Road Anthem. He also stole another one of his biggest hits, My Kinda Party, from Brantley Gilbert as well because the country music industry decided it wants to market Aldean.
 
Florida Georgie Line might be the worst. They rhymed seato and me though.......pretty sure that's enough to put you on any worst list.

He covered them, he didn't steal them. Huge difference. He also covered "Best Of Me" from Gilbert as well. Ford and Gilbert gave him permission, and they are making bank off the royalties and exposure they received. If it wasn't for Aldean's cover, BG might still be an underground sensation.
 
Then there's George Strait, keeps puttin out great songs, almost to the point of being annonymous. I don't know how many times I've listened to a song I liked and it ended up being George.
Another guy to take a listen to is Buddy Miller.
 
I turned on the CMA Awards since there's nothing else on and they're playing "All About That Bass". No bull****. Guess they're putting the final nail in the country music coffin tonight and making sure they do in front of a national audience.
