I see no country music. I see country rednecks playing hard rock.

Not really country music either but this thread seems to be about Southern Rock.

Blues Saraceno was in Poison for a bit while CC was in rehab - what you're looking at/hearing are rockers, playing rock with a twang and playing dress up?

:hmmm:

There would be no rock without a little hillbilly.

Think rockabilly and Chuck Berry and Elvis. No reason country cant meld with metal.

Nor have I - but that doesn't surprise me. "Country" hasn't been "Country" for the last 30 years.


Me? Give me Bluegrass any day of the week over this overproduced, commercial crap that is played on the radio today.

Is still a lot of good country music out there on private label and playing in small venues. Your just not going to hear them on country music radio because Nashville abandoned them for Pop Country.

There is nothing country about Black Stone Cherry, at least not musically.

Absolutely. Nashville "ain't" Nashville any longer either. It' simple business, I get that. The days of Boxcar Willie, Tammy Wynette, George Jones are long gone and replaced by Digital studios with $200 an hour session guys who, if lucky, get to hit the road with the latest 17 year old "superstar". Analog is dead and gone, unfortunately. It's now straight from studio to digital file to radio - and selling a few CDs along the way.

Hell, "Music", regardless of the genre, is slowly going the way of the dinosaur; replaced by "DJs" in bars. Hell, I played in several local bands back in the "days" (just for fun) and then quit playing for about 35 years. Got into it briefly again (missed it) and the really bad thing about it? I made MORE money back in the 60s than I could in the late 80s. Go figure.

He has bored me ever since he won that Guitar player mag competition back in the late 80's early 90's.

Yep this is what I was looking for.

I was thinking a young, very young, like 7th grade version of Led Zep

I went to HS with the Banjo player for a jam blue grass band out of Chicago called Cornmeal. He is a good guy and turned into a great player. He was in thrash bands before he picked up the banjo.

Awesome!

Good luck to you. Let me know if you tour up north by Chicagoland.
