Then why even open this thread?

He didn't but I agree 100%. Too much whining, it's pretty much all the same.

He did.
He didn't start the thread, but like you, he opened it and read it.

I really do like Johnny Cash a lot though.

My favorite country bands have a Dobro, fiddle, and banjo.

No one here has enjoyed Cody Jinks or Tyler Childers? That is really good new country that sounds like old country.

I don't listen to country at all anymore. Used to be a huge country fan (most mentioned on here) but found my 90's rock and grunge to be much more enjoyable to listen to.

 

[AutoMechanic]

I have a bunch of favorites. Alabama, Craig Morgan, Jo Dee Messina, Alan Jackson, Hank Williams Jr, George Strait, Rodney Atkins, Kacey Musgraves, Tim McGraw, John Denver, Mel McDaniel, Randy Travis.

I could sit here all day naming people lol. I love country music especially since I’m a country boy. Sorry most of mine aren’t bands there are plenty of great bands too.

Ive taken more to country in my later years for the simple fact that most use actual instruments like the super bands of the 70s and 80s.
Too much modern pop/rock/rap music is computer generated synthesized music with bebop and diddly its singing to it.
I dont get it, I guess I like instrumentation and the talent to compose and play it just as much as any vocals, ooh well, whatever.

the Good Ole Boys.

and the bluegrass brothers

I’m not sure if some of you would call it country, but lately I have been listening to two bands: Three Tall Pines and Turnpike Troubadours. Both bands have a heavy fiddle presence and words that can be heard, qualities which to my ears defines country music. You may feel different and that’s fine.

Going to see The Oakridge Boys next Friday night.

 

[MolaKule]

I listen to all types of music but for CM Shania Twain and the Mavericks put out some good stuff. This is one of my favorite Mavericks songs.

 

[Lubener]

Glen Campbell, TG Sheppard, John Anderson, Alabama, Hal Ketchum and The Oak Ridge Boys. I don't care much for the newer bands.

 

[2dogs]

Been listening to James McMurtry, son pf the author Larry McMcMurtry.

 

[dlundblad]

I like Alabama.

Not a fan of current stuff.

Another one: Listen to the song Whiskey by the band Trampled by Turtles if you want a taste of newish country music. Available free on YouTube. Absolute poetry in my book. If that tune doesn’t move you in some deep way you are wearing a toe tag.
