Chiefs OT - Hard Country rock music groups - Page 3

I am not a big fan of current country music but my brother got me hooked on a band called Black Stone Cherry which walks the line between hard rock and Country. We saw them live a couple months back and they were amazing. I like their harder edge stuff over the country songs they have. I guess they are the sons of some of the members of the Kentucky HeadHunters but I don't remember them being anything like Black Stone Cherry.

Anywho I was looking for other Hard Country Rock bands in the same vein, I am not into the Country Rap stuff, just the full on hard rock that you don't hear from Rock radio anymore.

If you have acts to recommend let me know.

I have some Whiskey Meyers on order.

I like Chris Stapleton but he is on the line, I loved Jamey Johnson's the Guitar Song album but want harder rockers like this:

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?

There would be no rock without a little hillbilly.

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

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.

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.
