The country music repository thread

[Dr. Facebook Fever]

I've considered doing this for a long time but often figured I was the only one that cared. Kyle DeLexus' thread has shown me that's not the case.

If you have an appreciation for country music feel free to use this as a place to post videos, news, personal favorites lists, concert experiences and anything else country related. Old or new doesn't matter. Just have fun with it and ignore the haters.

Naturally I have to post the greatest country song of all time as a starter.

I don't like spiders and snakes... and that ain't what it takes to love me... like I wanna be loved by you.

Actually, it looks like he has been putting out classical guitar albums. He was known for the comedy songs but he is a very good guitar player.

It also looks like he still does shows at Branson.

My best friend at the time was named Bill. For some reason, he hated the song "My Girl Bill".

Luckily there aren't many guys named Sue or they'd hate Johnny Cash.

Last week we played Anne Murry, John Denver, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash, John Conlee, Statler Brothers, Oak Ridge Boys, Vern Gosdin and others. We embrace it. I hate getting requests for current hits and I often ignore them.

You can play songs about smoking the reefer? I heard Zac Brown's "Toes" the other day, and they edited the word "fat" out of the line that goes something like "...roll up a fat one...". I'm not sure what doing that accomplished though, since it was easy to tell what the edited word was. It's kind of funny.

We play unedited versions. If people are offended they can listen to our competition. From looking at the numbers not many do.

I slept all afternoon thanks to fighting something off but I've been up long enough now. Alarm is in 2.5 hours so I'm going to get a nap and go to work.

Nice to see all the contributions tonight.

Dwight Yoakum is playing a smallish venue here in Portland in Sept. I'm going. Got to see Lyle Lovett earlier this year. Soon I'll have 2 of my bucket list concerts marked off in less than 3 months of each other.

One of my favorite covers of this song:


I haven't seen much Steve Earle in here:


John Prine is considered Country...he wrote this song with Steve Goodman:


Though the David Allan Coe version is more well known:

Robert Earl Keen:


I know it's not Christmas yet, but this is a classic:


Front Porch Song, written with his good friend Lyle Lovett:

I moved to Texas from Kansas in 1995, and in that time I've become a big fan of a lot of the Texas musicians, old and new. I apologize if any of these have been reposts.

Ernest Tubb:


Junior Brown (one of my guitar heroes who doesn't get enough credit):


Townes Van Zandt:

Big and Rich "The 8th of November"

And I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the "local talent" :

Who doesn't like Willie??? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Along the lines of David Nail, I thought of this song.
