I Love Country Music, I Love Bluegrass

[onebatmother]

I want to confess my love of the Music That Dare Not Speak It's Name..

I was listening this morning to some Randy Travis, and practically weeping with pleasure. The voice, the music, the wordplay, the depth of the storytelling..

does anyone else care to join me in spreading the Gospel and Praisin'?

Where are you Cappuccino?

Hello Lime!
..
bloody hell, Emmylou, I forgot emmylou. Haven't got any of the trio albums, no.. didn't know that linda Rondstadt was connected to either of those. I'll look them up..

slightly different tack.. but talking of childhood..

Gordon Lightfoot? and Big Jim Croce?

Abnd the beautiful James Taylor?

Sweet Baby James is the DC's bedtime song..

i used to love james taylor..i had a sweet baby james poster on my wall

bobbie...

zippi i think the creep thing only works the other way round. your version is more

I am going to come back and radically increase my music collection.

I shall cite Mumsnet in my defence. Yeah, like that's always worked before

oh WIllie nelson!! how could i have forgotten about him!!

my little brother and I went to see him in concert a few years ago. wicked. gotta love willie.

tom waits is presumably not country

what is he

anyone heard of Blue Rodeo?
great canadian folky country rocky band. love 'em.

I've just listened to emmylou with mark knopfler - really marvellous.

Of course Dire Straits were much more country in their early days - some early DS here

I have just downloaded the first two albums from this Dou fantastic song by the way.

I keep hearing these guys on Bob Harris

I want

and while we're talking Bob

this album is FAB

go to Dick in Dixie on the Hank 3 link below

hee hee

but not in front of the children it is obscene

Yes, we're starting to hear lots about children (and even grandchildren) of country greats - there's Hank 3, Shooter Jennings (married to the actress who was Adriana in 'The Sopranos') , Rosanne Cash (a lyrical genius who's been around for ages), and Steve Earle's son Justin who has evidently emerged from drug addiction to claim his place as a recording artist.

Lots more too, I'm sure....

i do like this which i just poosted on the veggers warning parental advisory and it isnt country but heyho i am elceteic

I was raised on Johnny Cash, Wiilie Nelson, Tammy Wynette etc. That and my dad affection for pipe band music and the Corries problably goes some way to defining why I have the tastes I do in music.
As a child my mum often listened to this, she had the vinyl

That dress is somthing, Saltire. She looks like a cross between Raquel Welch in 'One Million Years BC', Tarzan's Jane and one of Robin Hood's Merry Men! Great voice.

Just read the OP but wanted to 'out' myself - I am a fan to. So there. And I ain't ashamed. Particularly love Alison Krauss and Union Station at moment. And Johhny Cash. And John Denver.

Gosh! We forgot Patsy Cline

I had Patsy on earlier, when doing my Cd, should've mentioned her.
I do apologise, please forgive me.

did you knit him a beard

Me too. I love Doris Day,Patsy Cline, kd lang, and Matraca Berg.

I think I may be a gay man in denial.
