  • Country Music Hell

    Kids, I remember a day when country music sucked, but it didn't make you want to kill yourself. I was forced to listen to top-40 Nashville station the other day for two hours and I found myself longing for a gun barrel in my mouth. I wonder what it must be like to be a Nashville music executive?

    "Son, I am afraid that song just ain't quite shitty enough. You got anything else?"

    "We just ain't in to no existential angst. Our target demographic is NASCAAR fans and divorced housewives with an eighth grade education."


    In honor of my recent torture, I give you:

          I'm probably one of the few on here, but I really enjoy country music.

          Chris LeDoux is my all-time favorite.

            Me too. Interestingly, I hated it when I was younger but it grew on me.

              Chris LeDoux is exempt from classification with today's country music, IMO. Perhaps it is because he is a real cowboy, but there is a pureness to his tunes and lyrics which lifts him above today's plastic Nashville.

              Please note, I am not a country music fan. But I was raised in a house of country music fans, and therefore exposed to it, a lot. Chris Ledoux was the only country singer that I ever made me want to sing along.

                Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are based in Nashville. There are plenty of Alt-Country types there doing some interesting stuff. Country music has always had its shitty answer to the worst pop-music, but there has always been some good work coming out of Nashville, and there is still plenty of good stuff today.

                  Hank III is one of my favs.

                    Alt-Country can be very good. Most of the good stuff comes from Texas and elsewhere. But yes, some of it comes out of Nashville. It's the saccharine country-pop out of Nashville with the cheesy lyrics that sucks.

                          Every country music song ever written is like sitting in Hell. I am confident in saying that there has never been a single country song written that isn't completely awful.

                              .
                              No doubt about it.

                              He's an authentic cowboy and a true original. He will be missed.

                              I also don't like a lot of the poppy saccharine produced garbage that masquerades as country music while getting cross play on the pop stations.
