Do you like Country Music?

[Ms. Ashley Anne]

It may seem strange to mention country music to a rockabilly crowd, but I'm curious to see who likes it and what bands or artists you like. For a long time I didn't listen to it, yet I had Johnny Cash, Wanda Jackson, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton (I don't know why I can't think of any legendary male country artists at the moment) and some of my favorite bands today have country influences, like Reverend Horton Heat and even Tiger Army/Nick 13, or even Mike Ness when he did his solo album. Even though I've listened to rockabilly and psychobilly for a long time, I also opened up to country more in the last year which some people find it a strange connection but I can see the links through music. 

Where do you draw the line? Do you just like the old school outlaw country (such as Johnny Cash), enjoy Rockabilly w/ Country Influences, or enjoy some or all of today's country?

 

You would hardly think Susie Brown of the Jane Dear Girls would be a country artist with her rockabilly and classic pin up looks.

 

Some fans were surprised to see Nick 13 produce an Outlaw Country album. (Which by the way is one of my favorite albums ever)

 

 

 This picture of Mike Ness could easily make us drool.

Wow! That Bob Wills link is giving me square dancing flashbacks. I'm pretty sure we used Red River Valley most of the time.

OK, I'll get a little regional on you guys and gals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaiyW_UDuG0. Can't help it my father's side of the family were West Virginia coal miners.

I'm into both kinds, Country and Western.  Actually, not so much Western anymore.  Ness is great, I've been a Social D fan for a long long long time.  Strangely enough I'm not really into Rockabilly.  I love the Stray Cats and Imelda May, I enjoy RHH now and then but I'm mostly into Punk and Country.  My tastes echo what a few people have already said.  Cash, Waylon, David Allen Coe, Steve Earle, Willie, Townes, Hank.  That knocks out most of the newer "popular" stuff.  The thing is there are people who play the old style it's just hard to find.  Hank III does a pretty good job.  You just gotta search them out.  It's a pain but it's all you got.

Her lips are getting bigger!! LOL <3

 

 

Oh, and of course, Crystal Gayle. <3 <3 <3

 

Old school country is some of my favorite. New country reminds me a lot of pop music; so many artists are making that transition and blurring the lines! Broadens the audience and the pocketbook. ;)

I love all types of music.  I have seen almost every country music band in concert.  My favorite artists in concerts are Kenny Chesney, sugarland and Garth Brooks.  I really can listen to any type of music, including hip hop and opera.
