OT Dude Screwed Up.....Big Time

I listen to some country music and I have no fucking clue who this is.

 

Ok I found a song of his that I know.

The thing that I have noticed about country music is that most of the singers sound exactly the same, with the exception of a few, and a lot of the time I know a song but have no clue who the hell sings it.

There's a few who have really distinctive voices, but for the most part there's a bunch of dudes that sound almost identical. A lot of the women sound similar as well, but I actually like female country singers more than male country singers.

Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert, Carry Underwood off the top of my head.

 

My favorite line from the Blues Brothers Movie

 

Ask @Minstrel.

 

You've just described rap for me.

 

The only Country, Western singer that I ever liked was Marty Robbins.
Marty Robbins - El Paso


Marty Robbins - Big Iro

 

I do know a really good rap song. The rest can go on the dung heap.
Idris Elba - The Road Less Travelled

 

I remember going to a Marty Robbins museum when visiting Nashville a number of years ago. (I lived in Atlanta at the time). It's no longer here. I saw there's a museum for him in Arizona, though.

Marty loved to race cars. He was actually a NASCAR driver at one time. I remember there were one or two of his cars at the museum.

Here's another favorite of his:
Marty Robbins Singing Cool Water

 

Never heard of him either. but I was dragged to a concert at the Gorge two years ago, forget who the guy was, but if you are ever wondering "how the hell did Trump win an election", just find your nearest country festival/concert. Yikes.

 

current rap I would agree. 90s rap everyone had a distinctive style and sound.

 

You would be hard pressed to find me at a country festival/concert.

 

ABM: moves to the country music capitol of the world.

Also ABM: I don't like country music

 

I moved to Nashville for one reason.....and one reason only. (BTW, this pic was taken at Timberline Lodge when she visited Portland.)
