It's not just country. It's all music. None of it is as good today as it used to be. We should buy the old music only. Leave the new stuff to collect dust.
Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore, etc. You name it. All posers Jamey Johnson is the only one left. All these wannabees, I don't know what the hell they're trying to prove. This is a very important song though. Too bad nobody listened.
Thank you finally some one on youtube that likes country music, i dont know how people listen to all that crap like screamo and death metal you cant even tell what they are saying
if all the screamo and death metal people would listen to this song they woukd feel really bad probably
@mrwillyd1999 I listen to Death Metal and Screamo. I dont feel bad at all, but I also listen to Country, Rock , Rap, and Pop. I don't think their complaint in this song is with other Genres of music. It is directed more towards modern country and how they have went away from their roots.
Besides I get so tired of all the close minded people out there who are like.. "Only (Insert the Genre of music you like here) music is REAL MUSIC" The rest is garbage. Different Strokes for Different Folks.
@mrwillyd1999 I think they should just distinct the difference between Modern Country and Classic/Country Western. They should have radio stations dedicated to said Genres and leave it at that.
Great singers .Wish there were more like George S, Alan J, Randy T & Josh T. Way to much ROCK -N- CRAP getting control of this GOOD OLE COUNTRY MUSIC >
Well The "Murder Down On Music Row".. remains un-punished.. And look to now owns the FCC, for a glimpse of the culpert !
..This Old Cow Boy... misses the "WESTERN" in Country & Western.. and certainly cant deal with the bombardment of "Hillbilly Rock" that is what "THEY" call C&W music ! (Those Old Talent's..could at least Play the Instruments..and had more in the band than Chorded-Git-Fiddles and Drums)
Was at the Hall of Fame this past weekend and you can notice greatness slips the further you get into the exhibit. They have a George Strait outfit in there with a belt buckle that has a Bud Light logo egraved in it. He's just as commercial as those he's bitching about here with Alan Jackson.
Seriously, as hard as it is to admit, people like George Strait, Shania Twain and Garth Brooks are the beginning of our troubles today in country music. Not Loretta, Possom and Merle. They are REAL.
Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Minnie Pearl, Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers, Ray Price, Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens, Lefty Frizzell, Ernie Ford, Merle Haggard, The Carter Family, Flatt & Scruggs, Loretta Lynn, Hank Snow, Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Charley Pride, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Bill Monroe, Glen Campbell, Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton...REAL country never to be replicated.
Great song, but sadly true. As some other ppl have said, today's country is pop-country... Only few people remember Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, other Real country artists. Alan Jackson is my favorite. Now, when people ask what kind of music I like, I say real country. Because if I said country, everybody thinks Taylor swift, Kenny chesney, blah blah blah...
@pieski321 I remember Lefty Frizzell, Buck Owens, Ernest Tubb, etc And I love both Country and rock n roll BUT when I want Country I want Country not Rock n roll and the other way around. But who do we hang...and where is the rope.
@0mguusehaxub1tch hahaha when i read that it was the funniest thought ive had in months throw in keith urban. being on this site let me see im not alone in disliking swift very stongly. i hate all her songs-- only reason she got in is becuz she sang a song with tim mcgraws name in it. anyone know when george and alan are gonna sing together again?
Ok, today's country isnt real country! today's artists have really good talent, but it's not country. If you called it country rock or pop, I would be ok with it, but it's not REAL country! You don't see george with gay looking earings in his ears like Jason Aldean. All I'm saying is bring back the fiddle, you can have the "rock n roll guitar".
hey frosty, your words 'bout country are music to my ears ;-) just this time I heard this 'murdersong' from Larry Cordle - with fiddle and banjo, that's great
@TheJfrosty93 im 24 into rap but i went and bought a fiddle to learn irish country music, fuck unneeded change, bring back shit that needs bringing back.
The fact is that real country music is dead. It wasn't Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban in the 90's that did it as circlefiveranch commented. They weren't charted until 2000 and beyond except maybe one in 99 for Urban. I wish Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, and Roy Acuff style music still lived in mainstream "country" music. They are the fathers of REAL COUNTRY MUSIC. I feel what they sing. The majority of this music today is crap with the exceptions of Strait, Jackson, and even Paisley. GOD BLESS
@sparks51774 you had me until you mentioned Paisley. Tell you what come to Texas, where we've been doing our own thing for years now, practically ignoring Nashville, and two-stepping to our own brand of Honky Tonk!
@bb38313 haha Im pretty sure your gay i just looked at your channel and you are obsessed with little beanie bags things!!!! What the fuck do you know about country music, as far as i am concerned paisley is country and the best country guitar player to live. I work on a farm i listen to hank, cash, paisley, george, alan, and billy currington. If you listen to an artists while working on a farm they are country
@Teleplayer617 paisley........lame! That shit sounds awful, he started out good with mud on the tires, and whisky lullabuy, but it went down downhill from there. Murder I say!
I agree with most of you. But Brad Paisley is country and he's not some guy with no talent up on stage. If you didn't know he is one of the best guitarists in the earth in any genre. He didn't get handed his job he had to work for it.
Well, I do agree with some things that the songs says, especially with Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift. But you people can't just say that there is NO country anymore today. To start with Brad Paisley is Country, even if he is not according to some of you. And what about the new traditionalists like Chris Young, Easton Corbin, Ashton Shepherd and Craig Campbell? Stop complainin' people because these guys are young and will sing for a long time.
A lot of our old favorites took a lot of criticism back in the day too. Country music has to evolve. The "good days will always be with us, but there is a place for the newbies also. Too much bitterness! I say give them all a chance. Some of them are quite good.
RIP Music Row... these boys had the balls to sing it and few today can bring it. Yeah, we all wondered who would fill them shoes. I guess it's smoke rings in the dark singing whisky lullabyes but some of us took the grand tour. Yep, he stopped lovin her today. I guess that's the way love goes these days. It was a good year for the roses I guess. Now I feel a thousand miles from no where.
Great and accurate song! The "Trashville" execs have sold out true Country & Western to chase the $. This modern crap...Swift, Paisley, Urban, Underwood is all fake, manufactured pop country crap!
seems to me this song caused a big stink back then. made a lot of people mad.... too bad, b/c this song is so true and really opened my eyes back then to what was happening under my nose, and i didn't even notice until it was too late.
Why was this song not a number one hit???? Perhaps the most classic message in country music history....great lyrics......Strait is the man.....AJ was sliding in his career...and these collaboration songs almost never hit....perhaps that is the reason...
We had the honor of seeing this in KC MO during the George Strait country music festival, my oldest daughter was COMPLETELY in love with George Strait! This was the summer after the summer the song came out! It was AWESOME the two most TALENTED & HANDSOME men in country music
there alot of not nashville endorsed country singers out there fightin the good fight !!! Hank III , Joey Allcorn, Lucky Tubb, Rachel Brooke, Hellbound Glory , Whitey Morgan , and the list goes on and on many people have never heard of
May I refer y'all to Aaron Watson, Randy Rogers Band, and Kevin Fowler... I could go on, but alas, youtube only allows a certain number of characters. LOOK EM UP!
I miss the steel guitars, and banjos. Country music died long before 2000. It died the day, they quit playing the steel guitar, and was replaced by the likes of Garth, Rascal Flats, and musicians like them.
all these comments and no mention of Larry Cordle!?! thank god he wrote and released a bluegrass album with the same title that got bluegrass album of the year in 2000!!
for the most part todays country sucks carrie underwood is not country she is pop and rascal flatts are the backstreet boys basically ... when i want good country i got sirius between outlaw country and roadhouse
honestly i like the contemporary country because the tunes are catchy and i can relate to the lyrics, as well as the old country. its just a new form of country thats all. new artists just like to sing differently and it apparently has made a good impression on the public's ear, maybe not everyone but enough to be noticed. they just want to sing their songs, i dont see the harm in it. everyone has their own taste and opinions i suppose.
@atmp94 I have no problem with other pop musicians, they just should be on pop radio stations, not on country radio taking up george, jamey, gary allen, rodney carrington, and billy currington's air time. They should have todays COUNTRY artists, and a little of yesterdays COUNTRY artists on COUNTRY radio.
Now would be a perfect time and the perfect song to point out that Justine Beiber or whatever her name is, will be teaming up with Rascal Flatts....As a fan of true country music, I can say that the country music pioneers must be spinning at 5000RPM in their graves right now...
Real country music ain't completely dead, it just in exile in Texas. There is a thriving traditional country music scene out there. Check out Amber Digby (my favorite), Heather Myles, Justin Trevino, Leona Williams, Miss Leslie and more. Youtube is a great place to start finding good country music. Nashville certainly won't give it to us. We have to find it and support it. Buy the real music and see the real performers live.
and most of the traditional country songs went out the window in the mid 80's/90's with Tim, Faith, Shaina, and Kenny. So uh it was long gone before Carrie even came around.
People saying Carrie Underwood assisted with the murder of country music you are highly mistaken. Reading half these comments most of you are a bunch of sexist males. Now I will say, I would defiantly prefer Carrie sing more traditional stuff like I Told You So(she was phenomenal with it.) She has such a great voice and a lot of it is going to waste with her more up-beat songs. Taylor Swift on the other hand... blame her all you want. She's terrible.
@phatalbert73 Exactly so people should stop bashing Carrie. I am personally a giant fan of hers, I believe she is a phenomenal singer and brings a more up-beat happier side to country music, for men and women.
rascal flatts and keith urban teamed up for that murder with tim mcgraw back in the 90's and it's all been downhill since then. Thank god for guys like Jamey Johnson to try to revive country music. What people call country music nowdays is POP music folks sorry.
Very True. Some guys 'get it' but they aren't radio guys so to speak. You just have to hope that the southern rock country gets back to dominance as it leads to true country piping back into the mainstream.
@tonyei31 I completley agree. There is so many good artists out there that don't get played on the radio because their music is country and not pop. I completley give up on FM radio around here. It's all garbage.
@circlefiveranch i agree with you ofr the most part, but its not just jamey johnson, theres brad paisley, toby keith, mirando lamber, blake shelton, always alan jackson, and king goerge of course, and ik theres more i cant remember we just have to tune out the others until we get our country back lol thats why God made CD players lol
@HereIsRick after some of the songs on the acm idk bout some of those singers, but paisleys performance with alabama was rly good and i dont see how u coult not think hes country, songs like whiskey lullaby and wrap it around and get a little mud on the tires and im gonna miss her hes one of the few all country i think anyways
@sstroh08 I suppose you are right, i just have not liked many of his songs. his early stuff like half the dad he didnt have to be and we danced were great songs but all of his newer stuff sounds the same too me. Although that song with alabama is amazing
@HereIsRick yea thats true all him playing the guitar, hes not my favorite or anything i just consider him country, he cant be ol king george though! lol
@circlefiveranch Nope. Yes... Everybody is just heading for the mainstream. But, the mainstream isn't even pop any more. It's Techno/ Electro-pop. Pop music isn't even what it used to be. Just an over-manufactured, mutated shell of it's former self. Hip Hop is dead too. All just heading for the mainstream money/ music murder.
You can't relate to most modern country...it's just too pop and the singers lack the emotion of the guys who came before them. No ones filled the shoes of Cash, Waylon, Jones, Pride, Willie, Conway and so many others that have passed on. I'll stick with them old drinkin' and cheatin' songs myself.
I love and agree with the lyrics of this song....It is so true...George said he got in a little trouble for it, Thank you for speaking for all the the true country music fans.....
Okay Country music is great, and some of the new guys are good, TIm Mcgraw, Blake Shelton, and a few others, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks are all the best of the new country music, and its all good but when you call Rascal Flatts and Jimmy Wayne, and Taylor Swift country... that makes me laugh.
hank 3 is not and has never claimed to be country he is rock. all the real country singers will be gone soon george, willie,DAC and charlie daniels are the only legeonds still alive
hank 3 is not and has never claimed to be country he is rock. all the real country singers will be gone soon george, willie, and charlie daniels are the only legeonds still alive
hey packington leave Olivia out of this, she never claimed to be country music. she had a style all her own. But as far as this song, never a truer song was ever sung, and they could not have picked two better singers to do it, thnk you George and Alan, keep you the good work.
@bigm1682 really cause you seem to be forgetting someone but maybe I'm wrong when I say tha'ts Alan Jackson on stage with George Strait and jones has played with Jackson too
if u want real country jus buy sum old 33s am 45s an play them on a record player it doesnt much better than that btw im only 22 but ive wear out most of moms an dads records
you know, people are saying that garth brooks is the one who first killed country, i don't think so. i mean, ya, his country may sound a tad different than that of strait or haggard but still, i think he's more of a country artist than what i'm hearing by gaylor swift or rascal fags, etc.
im not much for george curvey but alan jackson is my man ive listened to him seens i was born my first song i remeber listening to was alan jackson and i still listen to him and he never gets old
@jsa4ever92 Oh come on man!! Alan is the real deal ....he wrote most of his songs so they are pure and from his heart. Strait hasnt wrote any of his hits. Strait is one of the best ever so I am not putting him down but Alan is the Real Country Singer.
@cowboyfan1113 actually, George did write "Living for the Night", which some have guessed might be about the passing of his late daughter. How can you tell me that isn't from his heart? And George's voice, is simply better than Alan's. Like I said, Alan is good, one of the all the greats, but George is the King.
@footballgusto72 he wrote "Living for the Night" as well as three other songs on his Twang album. And his voice is simply amazing. Better than Alan's. They're both great but George is simply the King of Country.
@jsa4ever92 there are two other guys that help write it so it wasnt just him, and thats one album and only three of them how many albums has he come out with alan writes his stuff
@andrewPHY Yes, but you can't tell me the pain in George's voice when he sings Amarillio by Morning is anything less than amazing. I know he didn't write it, but listen to all the other versions out there. Then listen to Mr. Strait's. It's mindblowing
holy crap i never realized how tall alan jackson is and how short george strait is lol i love this song iv listened to country ever since i was little and i like taylor swift and thoes other new artists but they arent country :)
@wwezjr13 But she is still musically a great singer. She has a great voice. She choses to sing pop, but could sing other genres. Taylor can't sing very well and she choses to sing pop... it's the only thing she could sing.
It's not just country. It's all music. None of it is as good today as it used to be. We should buy the old music only. Leave the new stuff to collect dust.

I miss the steel guitars, and banjos. Country music died long before 2000. It died the day, they quit playing the steel guitar, and was replaced by the likes of Garth, Rascal Flats, and musicians like them.

honestly i like the contemporary country because the tunes are catchy and i can relate to the lyrics, as well as the old country. its just a new form of country thats all. new artists just like to sing differently and it apparently has made a good impression on the public's ear, maybe not everyone but enough to be noticed. they just want to sing their songs, i dont see the harm in it. everyone has their own taste and opinions i suppose.

@atmp94 I have no problem with other pop musicians, they just should be on pop radio stations, not on country radio taking up george, jamey, gary allen, rodney carrington, and billy currington's air time. They should have todays COUNTRY artists, and a little of yesterdays COUNTRY artists on COUNTRY radio.

Now would be a perfect time and the perfect song to point out that Justine Beiber or whatever her name is, will be teaming up with Rascal Flatts....As a fan of true country music, I can say that the country music pioneers must be spinning at 5000RPM in their graves right now...

Real country music ain't completely dead, it just in exile in Texas. There is a thriving traditional country music scene out there. Check out Amber Digby (my favorite), Heather Myles, Justin Trevino, Leona Williams, Miss Leslie and more. Youtube is a great place to start finding good country music. Nashville certainly won't give it to us. We have to find it and support it. Buy the real music and see the real performers live.

and most of the traditional country songs went out the window in the mid 80's/90's with Tim, Faith, Shaina, and Kenny. So uh it was long gone before Carrie even came around.

People saying Carrie Underwood assisted with the murder of country music you are highly mistaken. Reading half these comments most of you are a bunch of sexist males. Now I will say, I would defiantly prefer Carrie sing more traditional stuff like I Told You So(she was phenomenal with it.) She has such a great voice and a lot of it is going to waste with her more up-beat songs. Taylor Swift on the other hand... blame her all you want. She's terrible.

@0831des The murder of country music happened long before Carrie Underwood came along.

@0831des well, Carrie can sing more traditional stuff, but she chooses not her. shes pop country. We got miranda lambert and sunny sweeny at least

Just an over-manufactured, mutated shell of it's former self. Hip Hop is dead too. All just heading for the mainstream money/ music murder.

You can't relate to most modern country...it's just too pop and the singers lack the emotion of the guys who came before them. No ones filled the shoes of Cash, Waylon, Jones, Pride, Willie, Conway and so many others that have passed on. I'll stick with them old drinkin' and cheatin' songs myself.

cowboyfan1113 1 year ago
@cowboyfan1113 actually, George did write "Living for the Night", which some have guessed might be about the passing of his late daughter. How can you tell me that isn't from his heart? And George's voice, is simply better than Alan's. Like I said, Alan is good, one of the all the greats, but George is the King.
