1. That was pretty damn good.

I like both old time country & some of the new stuff too.

[TrogL]

2. Lady A is bringing people back to country

I've loathed country music for decades.

I got dragged to a Keith Urban concert against my will and Lady A was the opening act. The keyboard sound was huge, not like it sounds on the albums.

I've followed them ever since and they've acted as a gateway drug to New Country.

[kaiden]

3. Amen to that, TrogL.

We are new fans to New Country. I never thought I'd admit to it.

[Bake]

6. They're bringing them somewhere, but it ain't country ...

Just sayin' ...

4. Another classic country song

Live at the Armadillo

7. Steel guitar!

When you hear THAT in the kickoff to the song, you know you've got some country coming your way!

20. Why did I just KNOW it was gonna be this one?

Cuz warped minds think alike?

[jakeXT]

5. I always think silly, when I think of country

[Bake]

8. Roger Miller is country!

But back in the day, he was considered sort of crossover ...

Great songwriter!

25. Don't know

if you know this, but Roger Miller had a couple of serious songs as well. One of them, in fact, was downright depressing...

Anyway, this one breaks my heart...

****

This one is rather dark and depressing...

22. The top of my skull blew off the other day when I learned that Toby Keith is a proud Democrat

I haven't been so surprised since I learned--years ago--that toilets don't flush in the opposite direction south of the equator.

[liberaltrucker]

23. Hence your DU2 sigline (paraphrasing)

"This DUer is funnier than you realize, or CAN realize".

[Bake]

24. Toby's country!

Not everybody likes him (I do), but he's definitely country!

26. I love emmylou

[argyl]

27. This one's got it all. It's country AND western.

Gary P. Nunn and the Lost Gonzo Band. Brings me back to Austin in the early '70s.

And I'll definitely catch Steve Earle yet once more when he comes to this area with the Dukes.
