Favourite Country Songs...
He stopped loving her today!
But I must ask about all the discussion about rednecks, is this a group of southerners or rednecks?
That is exaclty why I asked. It used to apply to a simple working class - now I am afriad it has a more derogatory stigma.
Lost Highway - Hank Williams Senior
I'll Never Get out of this World Alive - Hank Williams Senior
And
Fulsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
I pretty much like anything Cash, Williams, Nelson, Jones, Paycheck, etc. etc. etc. I'm not big on the newer country. There are some "modern" classics...Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, George Straight (sp? and I know he can also be considered old country), Alabama, Clint Black's "Killing Time" adheres to old-country structure very well. As long as the music (which more and more musicians are beginning to do) isn't made with the intention of pleasing the poppish demographic in order to rake in more money--and thus, murder an excellent genre--I can usually listen to it.
About the redneck talk...I like to think I'm a "cultured hillbilly". If I could afford to set up a tent on the bank of a lake or river for weeks at a time while waiting on the fish to bite, by God, that's what I'd do! Now if only I could get my brother John to play a game of chess or two while waiting on those fish.
