TruflShufl Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I know there's alot of country fans here but how many of you are into classic country? I've always liked David Allen Coe and Hank Williams Jr. but I've recently been getting into more Waylon Jennings (I wanna go to Luckenbach, TX ;D) and Merle Haggard. Any suggestions on other artists to try listenin to? Quote
Jake P Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I grew up around musicians seeing as how my father is one. Practically my whole family on my dads side plays an instrument of some kind. Music is one of my favorite hobbies next to fishing.Waylon and Hank are some of my favorites too. Country state of mind is a great song. Listen to Travis Tritt i bet you would like him, Charlie Daniels too. Do you like any newer artists like kevin fowler or Rodney Atkins? Kevin fowler is my favorite country artist right now, long line of losers is an excellent song. Quote
skillet Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Not a real country fan but if you listen to Hank Sr. IMHO you'll forget about Jr.... As Ever, skillet Quote

Not to mention hes a great musician Quote
TruflShufl Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 I love almost all the artists you guys have listed lol. Good stuff! I like Rodney Atkins but never heard of Kevin Fowler; I'll try to find some of his songs. Quote
GitRDoneIke23 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 BIG time country fan. I throw in a few classics every now and then. Haggard and Hank JR are good. I also like Johnny Cash, John Denver, Randy Travis, Charlie DanieslLynard Skynard( I guess they're kinda Southern Rock, but same diiference.) and The Egales. The Highwaymen are good too. There's more I just can't think of them right now. :P Jake P......... Rodney Atkins is my #1 fav. followed by Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Josh Turner, and Brad Paisley. In that order. (Josh Turner has a few Johnny Cash songs that you might want to check out.) Kevin Fowler is ok. He's got a couple good songs out there. Long Line of Loosers is good, but I also like Beer Bait and Ammo. Tight Lines 8-) Quote
fishbear Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 For the ladies side of the music, try: Tammy Wynette Tanya Tucker Crystal Gayle Patsy Cline Barbara Mandrell June Carter Cash Loretta Lynn just to name a few. Also, Buck Owens Jimmy Dickens Mel Tillis Roy Clark Quote

Popeye Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 The classic rock band I played in here in Diego used to play "Crazy" by Patsy Cline and every time we played it the crowd would just go nuts (I'd have said crazy but that was too much of a pun since I really like Patsy Cline). I just think Patsy had one of, if not THE most beautiful singing voices I have ever heard. I don't really consider John Denver a country singer. I think he was more of a balladier but I like most of his songs. Johnny Cash is one of my all time favorites as well. "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels ranks up there real high on my all time favorite songs list too. Quote

Big T Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I am not sure if this would be considered new or classic country but my favorites are: 1.George Strait 2. Reba My favorite song of all time is George Strait's "Fool Hearted Memory". Quote

Olebiker Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 "BEST" country song of all time: You Never Even Called Me By My Name http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/y/youneverevencalledmebymyname.shtml Just proves you don't have to be from the country to write good country songs. It was written by Steve Goodman from Chicago who also wrote The City of New Orleans. My favorite country singer of all time is Don Williams. Quote
Aaron Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 You might try Shooter Jennings. He's Waylon's son. His first two cds were really good and the third one is okay. I love classic country music, probably my favorite genre. Here in west KY we have a Friday and Saturday night radio show of of just outlaw country, probably the best 6 hours of radio all week. Quote

TruflShufl Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 I'm hooked on Kevin Fowler!! Thanks for the suggestion, guys. "I aint drinkin any more... but I aint drinkin any less!" ;D Quote

skillet Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Someone nobody mentioned, Mickey Newberry. Could write lyrics with the best of them and had a great voice. The way I heard about him, he had a song called "San Francisco's Mabel Joy" it crossed over from the country charts. I bought the album "Heaven Help the Child" and played the grooves off it! He is mentionrd in "Luckenbac Texas", Newberry's train songs. He's passed away now but if you ever get a chance ... As Ever, skillet Quote
flyphisher # Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Jake T, Guess you been to Gruene Hall a time or two???? nice drinking a lonestar or shiner there after a day slinging flies on the Guadalupe... Jerry Jeff Walker Billy Joe Shaver Guy Clark Towns Van Zandt would be my top 4..... check out Ryan Bingham, Adam Hood, Drive By truckers if you dig that sound, not classics yet, but a good place to start Quote
WIII-60 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 A couple of modern but classic-sounding groups. Kings of Leon My morning Jacket Quote
fatmanslim247 Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 "I aint drinkin any more... but I aint drinkin any less!" ;D Thats perfect for you, cuz u don't drink u just sniff the beer and pass out... We have been spending all this time at montys listening this, its wearing off on us.
