What country music do you like?

Bit of a story behind this one. Sorry for the Soundcloud link, but this version of the song only exists in my personal library.

I recorded this in a studio with the artist. It was basically a personal concert...just me and her. I shoved a mic in front of her guitar and tilted the other one near her head and this was the end result. Added a bit of reverb after.

This is what up close and personal country music can be, if you let it.

Mainstream country is what it is because of mainstream audiences. Believe me, there's a lot of consternation in the industry at where things are going, but it is the music business, not the music hobby after all. I could go on, but suffice to say folks in radio and records wish things were different.

My current non-mainstream faves are Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, and Kacey Musgraves. Isbell's stuff was hit or miss (IMO) before he got sober, but his last two albums were just spectacular. Simpson is on his own weird journey and everything he does is a surprise. Kacey's "Same Trailer, Different Park" was uneven, but she really hit the ball out of the park with "Pageant Material."

There's been a cultural change, Ford...

Personally, I love any good music. Period. For me it's not about the genre, but about the song.

I like to go see Hank Williams the 3rd when he's touring and isn't fucked up on drugs and alcohol. He can put on a pretty damn good show




 
Hank 3 gets the hillbillies so pumped up that they sometimes form a moshpit at his shows. I've seen it happen
