wesbed Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I have enjoyed Randy's music off & on through the years. More 'off' in recent years. More 'on' in the late 1980s. However, the music stands apart from the man. He looks like trash, looks like he's not had a content life, mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Pomea Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Country music got better for a little while, I think, when he was on top. I don't bother to listen anymore. Hope he can pull his life together. Sounds like a bitter breakup with his wife/manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sksmith66 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 alt-country is pretty much the closest thing to "real" country music these days. the country stuff that is really popular is just pop music sang with a southern drawl. if you think country sucks go listen to some son volt, drive-by truckers, jason isbell, lucero, ryan bingham, justin townes earle, ryan adams, wilco, etc...

I grew up with country music. However, where ever it has come is not where I have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slide_advantage_redoux Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 When I want to hear country,. I dig out my Ernest Tubb, my Marty Robbins. Don Williams, Dwight Yoakum and a few others. This new stuff is just cookie cutter, formulaic. what works before will work now shit. And most of the hits are all written by the same selct few. And a lot of the time, the band members are interchangeable on the hit CDs...same cats working with different big names. Boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig out my Ernest Tubb, my Marty Robbins. Don Williams, Dwight Yoakum and a few others." amen, brother douxy. a few years ago, i listened as a successful nashville country pop song writer listed the criteria for the very specific demographics, words, and types of music the producer-artist types wanted. that stuff is as bland as common beer. it is like using a recipe, sausage grinder, and canned ingredients to make sausage.

JSngry Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm waiting for something like a Randy Travis/Madlib joint that everybody digs and nobody bats an eye at, so if anybody's confused, it's probably me. Is the wait almost over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 If a man comes to my neighborhood to go to church naked, and then goes to the Valero to hit his girlfriend's boyfriend and then comes to my house to buy a pack of cigarettes, so long as he's not naked in front of my wife or daughter, I'm just gonna look the other way, even if it is Randy Travis. Why? Because I've had the same courtesy extended to me by lesser men that Randy Travis. A man don't forget shit like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
