the stuff thats on now is not traditional country music they needed something to start with and thats fine but the new stuff is not traditional country and they need to find themselves a new title ''THIS'' is country music not the shit them new singers are makin.
I remember sometime in maybe 97, this country station showed a commercial with parts of this video and maybe a Tanya Tucker song on it and reveled in saying "We don't play this old country."
"That's supposed to be some kind of selling point," I thought. I figured popular country would come around eventually, but it sure is taking a long time. At least in about 5 years, all these kids who grew up with this "modern" business will be getting older and looking for more exprience in the music.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that feels that country's no longer what it was... I used to be so excited about the CMAs now I don't even bother looking at it... its not country its a bunch of tiny boppers.. all taking over..
What's happened to country today? On the CMA' s this year, Taylor Swift (who's songs have topped the pop charts) won Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year. I mean, WTF?! Reba should have gotten female vocalist and George Strait should have gotten Entertainer of the year.
I wish record producers would look at these comments, instead of signing all these metrosexuals that wear designer cowboy boots and call themselves country. I cant even listen to the radio anymore I listen to talk radio when I drive now...
Yeah, I know what you mean. This new country songs today are not true country. I have never liked Rascal Flatts. Alabama is much, much better. Mark Chesnutt is true country and this song proves it.
man i remember hearing this when i was kid! country at its best during this period! loved this style of country it was better than the style of country today man wish we could go back to when country sounded this good!
Nope, it ain't just you, some of the best country music came out during this period. Mark Chestnutt has got to be one of the best singers country ever offered. When he sings, you hear what country is truly about.
I have lived this song more than once. The last time I almost drank myself to death, I was just glad that Father Time was there. Almost all of the pain has gone, almost.
My mom always played this album while cleaning the house. I remember all the songs now and when I think of country, I think of this and good ol' George.
I share a friend with him and once had the pleasure of having a beer with him. He's really a down-to-earth and humble guy. Very cool and polite. He called my wife ma'am with us being probably twenty years younger. :)
They killed it. Instead they play rascal queers, taylor swift, and whatever refugee that couldnt make it and classify it as country. If I wanted to hear taylor swift Id fuckin put it on a pop station, not a country station. Popularity is money though.
Great song! Does anyone know the names of his band members? It appears they have been with him a long time, as I still see some of them playing with him today. Thanks!
I had a brief yet torrid mad crush on this here good ole' boy from TX waaay back in the day....snicker...this song put that crush "woooof" over the top....LOL~ I love the country music of the late 80s/early 90s
Jamey Johnson is fantastic! So is Jamie Richards...look him up too. And Amber Digby. Justin Trevino. Tony Booth. Curtis Potter. Heather Myles. Sunny Sweeney. So many fantastic new artists out there who still make country music in the traditional format (like Mark Chesnutt is known for) like it was meant to be heard.
i swear my soul will rot if this music does not come back. this new " i got lost in a tornado and watched my girlfriend take a dump while i whirled away into the next county". DING DING! lets get this shit back boys!
there is still good country bein made its just no longer on the radio. There will always be honky tonk heroes but they may not get the recognition they deserve
Never fear kids, every now and then an artist comes along to bring country back to its roots. Strait did it, Randy Travis did it, Yoakam did it. Just be patient, music goes in cycles. The pendulum has to swing the other way soon.
There's plenty out there. Check out the artists I just included in my latest comment. And if you haven't done so already, get a satellite radio and tune it to Willie's Place. It'll be worth it.
i just want to say I am a fellow willies place listener and it is worth anyones time who wants to hear good American country music. God Bless America and the hardworking people who built this nation.
Country music has changed, partly because of American idol. I'm sick of "fake it, till ya make it" country music. fuck American Idol, TV sucks. what ever happened to sitting around a radio?
gotta tell you....and maybe someone should let haggard know...the good times are really over...aint nobody comin outta nashville ever gonna sing like this ever again
in my opinion it is not rascall flatts's fault- it is the radio stations- I am 24 in Pennsylvania and I would LOVEEEE to hear real country like this- but they play keith urban all day and it makes me want to kill myself- i think at the end of the day rascal flatts is quality stuff and so it this- but the industry has totally shut out anything that is traditional sounding
Mark Chesnutt is the ultimate country singer and he has a great voice with great songs. That helps and it also helps if you stay true to the roots of country music that Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, and George Jones taught us about.
okay i've seen 400000000 of these things so i finally decided to test one. it doesn't involve people dying or anything but i still wouldn't read it. not bad tho...
1-say a girl or a boys name you want to be with 2 times
yeah taylor swift kellie pickler pretty faces that will be hear 2 day 4 gotn 2moro. this music will stand the test of time 20 years from now people will say taylor who kellie who. there music has no depth 2 it.
i love this older country music but this new crap like taylor swift there turning it in to a three ring circus with that water stunt she did i guess she did that to take the focus off how bad she sings
Originally by Don Everly, but Keith Whitley really brings it home. For Keith Whitley this song was real life. Chestnut does a nice job though. as Fairand just says his clarity and easy voice make this rendition very good.
It's silly to compare Mark Chesnutt and Keith Whitley as each has his own style and voice.Keith put more feeling into his songs,Mark's country twang and clear intonation are his strong suits.Well,I would say they are both great in their own ways.
