For a long time I rejected country music despite loving Cash and Willie as a kid. Now I've gotten tired of rap and other new music, and I am once again enamored by country. I think as a kid I loved outlaws, but as an adult I understand their pain.

Now listen to Dylan's country stuff. Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait etc

>>126767811
Ive already heard Nashville Skyline. I've been big into Dylan lately. Blood on the Tracks is my favorite record of his and Mama, You Been on My Mind is my favorite song of his.

>>126767337 (OP)
Some outlaw country was fucked up.

Pre 90s "Young Country" is a gold mine. Before it got stuck in the Pickup/Beer anthems rut.

For me, it's partially because I've grown an appreciation for the guitar parts as a guitarist of almost 20yrs (I'm 32). I also grew up going down to GA from Illinois and always had to listen to old country in the summers. My Grandpa claimed his Dad gave Hank Williams his first guitar at an orphanage.

>>126768223
Nice one. Blood on the Track is probably my favourite Dylan album too. Give Self Portrait a go, I think you'll love the bucolic feel.

Does this clasify

I love real country music like Morgan Wallen

>>126768803
Me too. I started playing guitar last year. Waylon, Willie, Chet Atkins, Laur Joamets, Brad Paisley etc. A lot of todays best guitarists are doing country too like Sturgill and his lead guitarists Laur and Cody Jinks band and shit

>>126767337 (OP)
!!DAVID ALLAN FUCKING COE. THANK ME LATER!!

>>126771670
Of course I know David Allan Coe. It aint like i dont know the classics. My mom loves DAC including the X rated album. When i told her I was listening to him, she started singing Nigger Fucker

>>126768291
I love Hank too, lately I've been listening to some Hank III.

Your mother is based. Right on, he's always forgotten in country discussions

>>126767337 (OP)
I saw Billy Strings last summer and it was great. highly recommend seeing him live if you get a chance

>>126771849
it dont seem like it to me, but i am from the deep south so there is probably more love for him here. If This is Just a Game helped me through a rough spot last year. Really liked this girl and she led me tf on. Gave me her number and agreed to get dinner then ghosted me. Turned out she already had a man...

>>126771859
I'd love to see him live soon. Saw Sturgill live a couple months ago and it was the greatest thing I have ever seen

>>126767337 (OP)
>real country music
Wow you watched Heartworn Highways and listen to that talentless faggot Sturgill Simpson. Just shut the fuck up dude. There's always some faggy caveat when it comes to this board and country music.

>>126771938
never heard of it

>>126767337 (OP)
willie nelson is not country, he's just a dirty hippy
try glen campbell, Alan Jackson, marty robbins, Brad Paisley

>>126771938
>Sturgill Simpson.
i hadn't heard of that guy but hes a fag.
>>126772684 is me

>>126768803
>My Grandpa claimed his Dad gave Hank Williams his first guitar at an orphanage.
Every boomer in the South probably has some bullshit story like that.

>Yeah so my Uncle Buford, he taught Johnny Cash how to play guitar when he was 12; learned everything he knew from him in fact even though it's totally fictional and his uncle never met Cash and in fact never lived closer than 200 miles to him when the latter was a boy.

>>126772754
>>126768803
My buddy said his grandpa played guitar with Garth Brooks and he met Garth Brooks at his grandpa's funeral

>>126770200
This is country-rock, but it's a good album and was my gateway into the real stuff. Check out Merle Haggard and Buck Owens next.

>>126771938
>doesn't like Sturgill
Yikes

>>126773177
I guess I can understand being annoyed of everyone praising him or thinking he is overrated, but calling him talentless really shows how little dude knows about music.

>>126773365
For sure. He's overrated but that other anon is way off about him not being talented. He's sperging out over nothing.

>>126773177

>>126773517
You're the Kendrick Lamar fans of country music. He sucks, you suck.

>>126771670
He is the man who gave Warren Haynes his first big gig

People who pretend to like country are such retards.

>>126772684
Acsually Willie is a jazz/trad pop singer who dabbles in country.

>>126775392
>dabbles in country
He "dabbled" his way into more than one of the genre's classic albums in more than one decade. The fuck are you people talking about?

>>126772684
still me
george jones, merle haggard, keith whitley, buck owens
my goodness there are so many fantastic country singers

JJAAAMMBBAAAALLLAAAYYYAAAA ANNNAAA CRAWFISH PAH

>>126775435
>george jones, merle haggard, keith whitley, buck owens
This is a much better list. Props for including Whitley.

>>126775447
i could go on all day. ray price, gene autry, hank williams. in no particular order

the older i get the more i yearn to larp as a blue collar country guy and talk down to people

>>126770443
I feel like if anyone tried to say modern country artists can't play guitar, Brad Paisley is who I'd send them too. Dude is a monster on his album titled Play.

>>126772754
You're probably not wrong, but my grandpa was from the silent generation. And they didn't claim to have taught him anything, just gave him the guitar I guess.

>>126772933
Did he play friends in low places? kek

>>126776112
I don't think that's the problem with nu country, the problem began when George Strait invented that cliched country singing intonation everyone copied whereas they used to all sound unique.

>>126767337 (OP)
>real country music

Anything from the 1900s isn't real country music. REAL country music is literally just hillbillies with banjos playing on the porch. What we call "country music" is COMPLETELY unrelated to what that term originally meant.

>>126775435
i love all these guys.. and willie. he definitely is country, he wrote so many classic 50s country songs before he even recorded. its true some of his later stuff is more pop or whatever but listen to shotgun willie and then i wrote.

>>126775289
You're a faggot. Imagine being this pissed off about Sturgill Simpson.
>>126772754
Someone on my mom's side went on a few dates with Hank way back when. I thought they were fucking with me until they brought out the pictures he took with them because everyone here loves him. Local hero and all. They said he was really nice. Very humble.

>>126767337 (OP)
>Now I've gotten tired of rap and other new music, and I am once again enamored by country.
country music is just rap for white trash, you'll notice country singers never leave any space or break from singing, they just constantly sing through the entire long like rappers, because country really is white rap

this is kinda retarded, but also I played a country cover of many men by 50 cent on my guitar once and it sounded pretty good.

>>126773067

this song is great

>>126777741
>(sobbing) You're a faggot. Imagine being this pissed off about Sturgill Simpson.
>By the way, my mom's friend fucked Hank once

>>126772754
My grandpa got really drunk at a margaritaville and shit himself but we all had to pretend he didn't for the car ride back to the hotel.

There's a real song from the deep south for ya.

>>126767337 (OP)
I wonder what hardcore country fans think of Sturge. I mean the dude is undoubtedly very talented as an instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, but on the other hand he's a total libtard and also gets pretty deeply into prog territory.

>>126780710
i really dont think hes all that liberal other than being pro drugs and anti war. pretty sure hes a centrist. his first record is just straight outlaw country, Im sure theyd like that

>>126768291
Hank is final boss of country. All country music enjoying is just moving slowly toward listening to this forever.

>>126781004
Retarded.

>>126775443

>>126780703
You put that story to guitar and you too could be a country songwriter. And I would listen.

>>126781017
You aren't ready.

>>126781044
>t. guy who got into country 3 years ago

>>126781004
what do you think about Jr and III?

>>126781065
Love, and like alot.

What are the best Bocephus songs that aren't on Greatest Hits?

>>126768246
What the actual fuck?
