Do you like Country music?

My cousin is the stereotypical country redneck. Drives me nuts.

 

"Here's the big 'Toby Keith' moment!"

 

I love a rainy night.

 

Yes I do. Mostly older ones up to the 90s country

 

Hmmmmm - Depends from which country. Something like this ???

 

Hank Williams, the songs from OH brother, where art thou and stuff from the 20s-30s-40s, etc before it became rock and roll with a southern accent.

 

Only the older stuff, really. Big fan of Johnny Cash. Loretta Lynn is also a badass. The older country music had soul, feeling. To me the newer music is distinguishable from pop music only by the accent of the singers.

 

Is that really country music?

Update: It is, I looked it up. It’s actually a music genre I never heard of- “country rock” or “country pop” - never heard of either one.

 

Here's another favorite - "Home Grown Tomatoes." Home Grown Tomato sandwiches are amazing. I don't mind sharing a little secret: the best tomatoes in the world are found in Hanover County, Virginia. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, visit a farmer's market and buy the ones that are small, red and scarred with thick skins. They taste like candy.

 

Mostly, no. Taylor Swift is great (the old stuff was country-esque). and I like the work of Stapleton/Timberlake, but not just Stapleton.

 

God-DAMN-it I miss going out on Friday nights for live, in-the-flesh, acoustic Trad!

 

Here's a lovely Irish 'country' song for any who ever shed a tear for Old Yeller.

 

You can tell they're New Englanders; nobody 'round here could even be whipped into pronouncing the "O" at the end of "tamater" (unless they're from Atlanta).
A crowd favorite; I bet I hear that tune at least a half-dozen times every (non-Covid) Spring & Summer.

 

Though I'm not opposed to some Wolfe Tones on occasion...I play a lot of rebel tunes on the great pipes; they are war pipes, after all.

 

Yes, very good matey, but I prefer 'fighting' songs - like this:

 

Yes, I like this group too !!!

This is a classical aria - from Verdi's Nabucco - Va Pensiero
