Sturgill said a few years ago that he was making 3 more albums and falling off of the earth. I believe that was 2 albums ago. I hope he makes a new one soon and then changes his mind about the original statement.
Turnpike dropping new album on October 20th.

Not that I'm keeping track!

Also, they toured about every western state except AZ. I am still ****ing pissed!

Hotel California and The Long Run are great albums but Joe Walsh and Tim Schmidt really changed their sound from the early days, which I prefer.



Along with the Flying Burrito Brothers, Rick Nelson and Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles created a genre that has been honed to perfection by Nashville and Tony Brown.

It comes across as sterile and phone to me.
yup, and a lot people don't know about that early connection to Ronstadt.

remember the Nelson Brothers?

Nashville isn't concerned with people in Seattle, San Fran, Los Angeles, Portland, etc.

Nashville is SO preprogrammed it's freaking unbelievable. They produce music that sells to their core audience.

End of story.
Who is it that is the core audience that's buying all that garbage? Is it the teenagers like Buehler said?

Chicks. Then the poor saps who are dating them have to like it or they won't get laid.

I suspect most are Trumpers. That band of misfit toys are either country or GWAR (or some shit) fans.

I was asked to do a 12 song Hick Hop album for a prominent library just last week. I'll write all of the music and perform all of the instruments while they'll have a "Beatz" guy provide all of the Hip Hop style drums.

They said it's a huge emerging genre. Any thoughts?
My kid digs this, at least what I think you are talking about.

like Joe Diffie with Jawga Boyz?

I'm sad there is no love for Wheeler Walker in the country come-back thread.

Country music radio is the #2 genre in the US among 18-24 year olds but Country Music purchasers are, on average, 45 year old adults split fairly evenly among men and women (52%-48%).

Rap has surpassed Rock and Country as the overall #1 genre.

To each his own, but rap is awful. Country was good decades ago, but gave up on it in this one.

Alan Jackson, Clint Black, George Jones, Travis Tritt, Ronnie Milsap, Confederate Railroad, Tracey Lawrence, George Strait, Aaron Tippen, Joe Diffie, Hank Jr, and more...

Them's the days I enjoyed some sad, drinking Country tunes. Maybe it's come around these days, but too busy listening to the older stuff when it's music time.

It does however cross racial/financial boundaries and has been a big hit with the small town trailer park Meth kids for years. It's only the last few years it seems to have caught on with the suburban white kids and even the African American kids. ...which seems strange considering half the original hits had their videos drowning in stars and bars and the occasional not so hidden racial slur.

This is the current "popular" song some of the help is torturing me with.

I haven't paid attention to country in a long, long time but I prefer "real" country music, not polished, over produced "Country" music.
Well said.

Credit to Baby Lee here, but this is on point IMO.

:eek:

There it goes. That's my last shred of hope for society.

"Hick Hop" is amusing. I don't want to listen to it all the time, but once in awhile is OK.

Pueblo Chieftan 08-23-2017 04:15 PM
^^^ One reccomendation: I recently had VIP tickets to an Old Dominion show here in Pueblo, Co.

Man, go see them if given the opportunity you guys. They are up and comers having just released their second album, but boy oh boy, they are great live in concert.

Too much of it has become pop or 'light bro rock' like Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line. They arent really country, but arnt really rock either.

Like Dane said, Nashville knows exactly what they are doing. Plus, they largely market to younger females anymore.
