| The Music Thread: Stilleto Crocs And Country Music?Patsy Cline! Wow...what a voice. Talk about emotive! Crazy Roy Acuff's The Wabash Cannonball. Heh...my dad used to sing this! Glen Campbell's version of Rose Garden is solid, and was quite successful. But...Lynn Anderson's version is great! I already used it on the ONT last week, so I am violating my self-imposed rule: no repeats unless I forget! Here it is. I love Loretta Lynn's voice, with that echoey feeling to it. And here is her most famous song! Coal Miner's Daughter The Stanley Brothers? Who are they? Pure American bluegrass. Man of Constant Sorrow The boundaries between the genres are a black box for me. I have no idea how they work, and I'll cross them at will without even knowing. That's the fun of music though...one song leads to another and another and pretty soon you have gone from 1930s Bluegrass to 19th century opera, and then back to 1950s pop and 1960 soul and 1970s super groups and finally to playing Beethoven's 5th...backwards!

I have been listening to and liking a country singer named Breland but my obsession this weekend is a group called Noisettes. Check out their album called “Wild Young Hearts”. I really like the title song and “Never Forget You” has an Amy Winehouse/Motown vibe.

I like Zepplin III a lot. I'll listen to the others, but that one I've got in rotation.
Re: Stanley Brothers There are so many unknown songs, even by people who like the genre. One of my favorites is I am the Man, Thomas. It's Jesus speaking to Thomas after he'd appeared to the disciples. I am the man, Thomas. I am the man.

And I'm going to repost this from last night about an Americana type song I just discovered and really like. It's sort of a love song, but you have to listen to the end to discover it's... Well, it's something bluegrass enjoys a lot. This one is done very subtly.
- there's an interesting song by John Ritter called "Curse." One of the lines is about pyramids: "think of them as an immense invitation." It's a really great and subtle song. Well worth a listen, but you've got to listen to the end to catch what happens. The video takes away from how wonderful the song is so I'm linking a live version. If you choose the music video (it's distracting) don't watch it. Just listen to the words. https://youtu.be/ml_-qXgVuhk Posted by: They intend to crash the banks with Trump's arrest at March 18, 2023 07:47 PM (5OcwI) 25

I get Kashmir as a classic but Zep as the best of all? Sorry not close. Even in their era Cream was better - better writing and better musicians. It's hard for Zep fans I know. As for the best, like ''em or hate 'em, for consistency and decade after decade of real success as writers and performers - the Stones, period.

RUSH IS THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER!!!!!!
Yes Posted by: Mark1971 Saw Rush live 3 times. Pert was mind boggling . Lee's voice and bass work was awesome. Lifeson is a seriously underappreciated guitarist, but...but Zep rules! Saw them live in the Kingdom in 76. Dang near 4 hours of amazing . Bonham and Jones had this uncanny connection . Page was beyond description. Robert Plant's voice and stage presence is second to none .

Zep is too bluesy. Appetite for Destruction is better than any one Zep album. It starts with Jungle and ends with Sweet Child. Rose and Plant are the two best vocalists.

"Does any other country have anything like it?"
See, I can imagine only Canada and Australia having the language, social and accoutremental make up necessary = truck, dogs, rifle, wide-open spaces. Canada is basically a disarmed USA so fits right in there. Australia? Well the accent doesn't quite make it. Try 'My truck and my dog up and went and left me ....' in a Crocodile Dundee voice.

No other place has anything like American country music because its origins are uniquely American.
At its core, it's a fusion of the southern gospel choir tradition and bluegrass, which is itself a uniquely American style descended from the Scots-Irish immigration into the Southern states. After that fusion was done, this dude named Elvis Presley added some flavor from the black full-gospel church and a touch of what was then the burgeoning sound of rock 'n' roll, and here we are. Yes today most of it is boring and formulaic, but there are some excellent country artists to be found.

Led Zeppelin occupies a strange space for me. You could put on any of their albums, play it straight through, and I'd have no objection. I'd even enjoy it. But I own none of their stuff, and I'd never choose to play it for myself.
If you've ever wondered what it might sound like if Robert Plant and Rush had a big gay baby, you might check out Crown Lands. They've got some decent songs, like End of the Road and Witching Hour (Electric Witch).

That video of Will the Circle Be Unbroken linked in 190 is so neat btw. It cycles through the performers and everyone looks so young (because they were). The names are put on the screen in case you don't recognize them.
My favorite is near the end. It briefly shows John Prine just grinning and banging on his guitar. And the end is a panning shot of all the musicians gathered together in the studio, probably before a photo. Dang what a song and video.

Posted by: browndog Official Mascot of Team Gizzard -- One of my favorite memories was seeing Doc Watson in Raleigh, NC back in the early 90s. He was playing at what I think was an old movie house, and all of the crappy (but neat) old wooden seats were facing up to look at a screen, and we were in the balcony. And even our seats were facing up. So we couldn't see him even though he was sitting smack dab in the middle of the stage. I told my girlfriend at the time "Now we're even."

I didn't know much of anything about country music growing up in the 60's & 70's -- the most famous radio station everybody listened to in Las Vegas was "KENO," which played modern pop-rock.
Had a great math teacher in high school for Calculus & then Computer Science; hung out with him after class one day, and he played some country music tunes. The first one, that had me laughing so hard I nearly peed my pants, was Johnny Paycheck's "Colorado Kool-Aid." [As an aside, was so enamored of Don Felder's brilliant "Mexican Reggae" chord arpeggio for Hotel California, that when I taught myself guitar a couple decades ago -- I refused to learn any other song until I mastered that. Anyway, I've recently discovered that it wasn't a unique chord progression: it had been done earlier in a Jethro Tull song "We Used To Know" -- and subsequently, in the Charlie Daniels Band song "Reflections".] Posted by: ShainS -- The Abolition of The West is from Men Without Chests at March 18, 2023 08:45 PM (wsx8x) 246

So thanks for putting me onto Crown Lands, really good band, great sound.
Couple of problems for them ever making it into a big stage act. The lead singer is the drummer and there are only two members in the band and the other guy plays the guitar and has to play the pedal board to trigger effects and bass sounds. So basically they are really busy doing things, which will make for a very boring live show. Posted by: Thomas Bender at March 18, 2023 09:23 PM (up/3i) 376

Maybe the country - pop genre employed by so many headliners, I.e., Carrie Underwood, k.d. Lang, Lainey Wilson, and more (the ladies in particular) is what's distracting? But crossover has also been..Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Leon Russell...even Dion.
There are channels/stations that are Country! with little crossover. They have a lot of appeal to the late teens through 20s population, on up. Some of that 'taste' is a bit more regional. But unless we specifically seek out pure rock or jazz or opera, we'll be subject to mixing of music genre because it's necessity & what sells. Hang onto your collections!

There's a lot of cross over between early folk and early country. Half the time, the DJs just threw a dart at a board and tagged a song either folk or country depending on where the dart landed. You go back far enough, and it was almost all folk music -- mainly from the South. The Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountain people sang the music they brought with them from England.
I'd guess it was sometime late in the '50s when the two began to really split. The folk singers stayed pretty much with the traditional music, and the country singers started writing and singing a completely different language. During the '60s, the folk singers began using their music as a form of protest against Vietnam. They used the old songs and composed new ones.1/2 Posted by: Captain Josepha Sabin -- I wasn't particularly fond of the '70s the first time around at March 18, 2023 09:30 PM (k5jR3) 385

Did anyone listen to the interview Ace posted yesterday:
David Reboi interviewing Rick Beato? I ask because I have a very basic question. Both Reboi and Beato are learned musicians, and students of music. They both tend to like/appreciate dissonance in their music as opposed to harmony. For the life of me, I cannot find anything listenable about dissonant music, whether it be Jazz, Modern Orchestral, etc. Are some people hard wired to like appreciate dissonance while others aren't, or is it a learned trait, or is it an affectation...

Country music for many years was the only popular genre where the artists tried to look their *best* on stage instead of like homeless hippies. Yeah, the glitter suits of people like Porter Wagoner were overdone, but think of all the attractive female singers (Faith Hill, Pam Tillis, et al.) who dressed up on stage.
Beyond that, you had lyrics that were sung to be understood instead of screamed into a microphone; and often well-written lyrics at that. "Beaches of Cheyenne," "Three Wooden Crosses," and (from much earlier) "Fancy" and "Ode to Billie Joe" were all short stories in song.

It wasn't until radio went from Top Forty to specialized music that the big split between folk and country happened. Up til then, with the Top Forty format, the DJs played best sellers, no matter what. Not to mention that there was still a lot of cross over. What category was Glen Campbell? Bob Dylan? Yeah, you could definitely say that Iron Butterfly was neither, but even some of the acid rockers occasionally turned up on a country station. 2/2

And while they were not marketed as "country" songs, at least when they were most famous, Glen Campbell's "Gentle on My Mind," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," and "Galveston" were all well-written songs. GoMM in particular is superb -- writer Jimmy Webb, I think.

Are some people hard wired to like appreciate dissonance while others aren't, or is it a learned trait, or is it an affectation... I'm with you on this one, browndog. Dissonance is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Harmony is what it's all about, for me. I guess that's why I love Motown and other genres that feature vocal harmonies. I don't think it's an affectation. As someone mentioned earlier, people are wired differently with respect to what moves them musically. I see some here absolutely trashing music that I love, and I feel the same way about what some others think is da bomb. I tend to shy away from negatively critiquing music that I don't care a rat's ass about. It serves no constructive purpose. Different strokes, for different folks.

>>Are some people hard wired to like appreciate dissonance while others aren't, or is it a learned trait, or is it an affectation...

I used to go in every couple of months and spend at least an hour putting on headphones and listening to random albums. I had such an eclectic music collection as a result. I remember discovering Nora Jones’ first album before it had even started getting airplay on the radio. Posted by: Moonbeam at March 18, 2023 11:04 PM (rbKZ6) 468
What isn’t there is Immigrant Song, though you probably meant Stairway. I love Zep, but they just pound and pound - no variation in rhythm. After a couple songs, I’m done listening for a while.
Not that I like country music at all, but Tennessee Ernie Ford’s Sixteen Tons is a song I heard from my mother, and passed on to my kids. Roger Miller’s King of the Road, too. Posted by: Advo at March 18, 2023 11:54 PM (VHN21) 469
King of the Road was my favorite song in the first grade! Whenever I hear it, I think of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where we were living at the time.

Nightwish is a better band.

For modern country I nominate "California" by The Petersens, sung and written by Katie Petersen. Definitely in the pathetic love life category. The Petersens are a blue-grass band but do a much wider range of music. Lots of stuff on youtube.

There are much better Glen Campbell songs than Rose Garden-good grief. Wichita Lineman and Gentle on My Mind.

459 Yoko is chaos.
If you want to get exposed to the possibility of enjoying some dissonance, the King Crimson album "Red" is a classic in that regard. And there also Mahler. Posted by: pawn (in/lbs/gal/F) at March 18, 2023 09:58 PM (wsHtO) King Crimson’s Discipline is also a very good introduction to their (somewhat) dissonant style. Their more dissonant albums sometimes become difficult, like Lark’s Tongue in Aspic. Posted by: Advo at March 19, 2023 12:10 PM (VHN21) 477

"Led Zeppelin is the best rock band in history."
Laughing at you in The Rolling Stones P.S. Looking for great country, check out Morgan Wade Posted by: Opinionator at March 19, 2023 11:27 PM (UIvnv) 479
Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Zach Bryan, Whiskey Meyers, Turnpike Troubadors, Ryan Bingham, Tyler Childers all have the sound the OP is looking for.
