There's just something about a real country song, man.

Current country music has SO much beta bitch boy bullshit in it.

Some of it is actually disgusting to listen to.

Look up "Yeah" by Joe Nichols and redneck crazy by some shithead I don't remember

[Billy Chubbs]

Unsurprisingly enough, around my town, most country fans are women. Well, most modern country fans. Hank Williams and Johnny Cash are still number one with men.

I like 80s/90s country. I have no idea what is out there now. Where I live, its rock and Top 40, which I like but I dont listen to the radio and dont hang out with enough rednecks.

@Chubbs, I used to notice this as well. Canadian rural white girls just love modern country music, maybe its some sort of Shania Twain side effect? Now that I live in rural tennesee its guys and girls.

Last, I never thought there was a difference between 'county&western' music before I lived here but I was later educated by some old guys at the barber shop. Its like east coast and west coast rap. Country music is from the southeast, with Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton as examples, most artists are heavy on the gospel music side and did not wear cowboy hats, they were more redneck than cowboy. Western music is more cowboys, texas and horses.

Don't Think Twice, by Waylon Jennings is what I'd consider to be one of my favorite 'red pill' old country songs. (notice, no cowboy gear). I realize it was written by Dylan but Waylon put a more "fuck you" tone into the song. Hank Williams III writes in the closest style to old country music but i think he's a terrible musician so don' take this an an endorsement.

[Renzy]

I'll put up another one here - the movie Urban Cowboy (with John Travolta) had a good soundtrack:

Also, it wasn't on the soundtrack for the movie, but I thought Conway Twitty's Slow Hand would have made a great addition to Urban Cowboy's soundtrack:

And +1 for Waylon Jennings, I always thought he had such a warm, amazing voice. I've got an entire playlist of basically nothing but his songs. Great stuff.

[Slick Shimmer]

Damn, they deleted the Gary Buck video in my first post.
Oh well.

[DJ-Matt]

Although I think modern country music is just crappy pop with a banjo mixed in, these initial lines from Cruise are pretty decent:

Quote:

Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her
She’s poppin’ right out of the South Georgia water
Thought, "Oh, good lord, she had them long tanned legs!"
Couldn’t help myself so I walked up and said

Cold approach right there.

Any man that is arrested at 3am in the morning, on his freeking lawnmower, on his way to the nearest liqour store, for chrissakes, is alright by me. It was a good thing the police stopped him really. There could have been a terrible accident. Some kind of drive by hedge cutting, or rose pruning.

(She'd locked up his keys to the motor vehicles, but forgot that he had a spare one for the ride on grass cutter).

George. Tammy even wrote a song about you. That's how much she loved you.

What a chap.

Modern Country music has been infiltrated with the same crap the rest of our dying society has been infiltrated with...

- Girls are tough and masculine and at the same time this is what men are supposed to like.... puke
- The new male singers seem to be confused as to if they are singing country or pop or wanna be hip hop with their dress and mannerisms.
- Over patriotism for easy sales

But this older country music, or at least pre 2000 or so, really takes me back. Some of it I really like. Some of it is boring and too slow to me. But ALL of it just tells me how great this country used to be. Before modern feminism/liberalism took effect.

It is like watching a Clint Eastwood western from the 1970's and prior or most anything else this country produced back then. You can't believe the USA used to not only allow such displays of masculinity and femininity, they strongly encouraged and supported it. Women used to actually be women in the USA and they actually wanted a strong man. It is so hard to believe.

And I am left with one last thought...

Is there any where I can go in the world where this still holds true and it will be safe for me as a white male American citizen?

My God fellas, this was only a few decades ago. It is amazing what a poison liberalism/feminism is to a society.

Sure, you don't even have to leave the country. Move to rural/semi-rural southeast join a church whose name ends in the word 'baptist' Some of those churches even ban women from wearing pants or shorts to church because they are so old school. Even outside of church, drinking is frowned upon by most communities with limited bars etc. There are attractive, sweet, feminine women whose attention whoring is limited to having the respected and envied, god fearing family.

The fact that this part of the country is ridiculed as old fashioned, backwards, intolerant bible thumpers should tell you something. Rumors that it is full of rednecks and meth is only a problem for you if you choose to live in a trailer park.

That sounds like a dream come true.

I grew up in a rural area, but in the midwest and not in the southeast. And I say what you said is far more true to where I grew up than in the urban areas. The women are FAR better and FAR more feminine.

But there were two problems with this for me personally...

#1) The women get married very young there. If they are still single by 25, they will either move off to the city or they have some serious issue scaring the men off. So at my age, and with our society frowning upon age gaps more and more, it is unlikely for me today.

#2) There are few job opportunities in such areas, and those opportunities are shrinking with our economy crashing.

Both sets of my grandparents were midwest farmers. Their lives were so simple yet so happy. They worked hard, much like many young men to today, but they also were rewarded for it with good, feminine faithful wives and family time, and free time. These are things that have nearly disappeared.

If only I had been born 60 years prior. Oh well, I can't go back in time, I can't dream, so I just have to keep working hard and hope I can find some happiness some where in life.

Massive, massive Springsteen fan here.

I won't go into his later stuff and what the hell he is playing at with his politicing of late. It has even me scratching my head.

I won't post anything that I like from him coz there is just too too much. Pretty much anything from Darkness on the edge of town, Nebraska. Plus more. He hit a sweet spot early in his career and just kept going. It might have ended just a little while ago, but what a run!

Ok, maybe I will post one. Actually, no I won't.

It would seem that Bruce and his record company aren't making enough money, and his producers (see Jimmy Iovine of Beats and Dre fame), neither.

I will just go quietly and play one of my CDs of his, that I HAVE BOUGHT, coz Brucie don't like his album stuff up at Youtube, he likes his live stuff so you go and buy the ticket, AND then the album. I could find it, but ten minutes of my time is enough to know when someone is trying to avoid me. :-)

He drew on Country quite heavily and was a genius. Now? It's like he had some kind of nervous breakdown a couple of years ago and thought that Obama was the new Messiah. His music has sucked for a while too.

Maybe, I'll go play something from The River. Maybe..

[Rigsby]

Actually, who needs Springsteen? This is a Country and Western thread after all.

Who could do better than Hank Williams Jr. ?

"Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound"

First two verses:

I've got a good woman at home
Who thinks I do no wrong
But sometimes, Lord, she just ain't always around
And you know that's when I fall
Now I can't help myself at all
And I get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me some songs about a ramblin man
Put a cold one in my hand
Cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds
Don't you play, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Cause I'll get all balled up inside
And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

.................



From father to son.

Yeah, it's a really strange look for him. Upon checking out his Wikipedia page, I realize I have missed his last 3 albums.

I was put off back when Radio Nowhere came out by how much it sounded like Tommy Tutone's 867-5309...
Radio Nowhere got in my head every now and then but it just felt really...castrated.

Am I missing anything noteworthy? Anything worth listening to on those albums?

Back to good Bruce:

[Rigsby]

Hank is singing the anthem here:

[Rigsby]

OK.

Springsteen. Nebraska. Title track.

They made a film out of this one and called it Natural Born Killers.

This is their story, as told by Bruce.

Recorded on a 4-Track and later re-mastered in the studio.

This shows his Country influence as much as anything he has done.
He sounds broken up. He is broken up. He is putting himself back together again...
