Ok,I'll probably get shot for this,but here's another old favorite that describes my life; The kinks rock!

 

[Dan]

Cool enough UR. You could be correst in your life expectancy mumblings. But who doesn't gota get funky and hit the 80's once in awhile? ipe:

 

[chumpsteak]

I like the one where the dog dies and the pickup truck breaks down.

I really dont like "country music" as defined by nashville. as a Texan I have been exposed to a lot of local musicians. This is one of my favs.

I love Pat Green but some of you may not think of him as country

I think Ray really sums it up...LOL

This is the 520th post on this thread. Small for some threads, short comments. Here? A post usually involves a video. Sometimes this thread takes forever to download.

You know what? Thank you! Lot of country music fans here and that's what makes this a good thread. Everybody sharing.

Usually well named country singers are posted here. Tonight I found a YouTube chain of songs from a guy named George Partello.

Looks as though he's probably singing songs from his kitchen counter. He does a great job mixing vocal with the original music.

This guy should be posting on this thread and if I can figure out how to invite him he just might do that.

Enjoy. Not the original, just comes from a guy who loves music and shares.. a lot like us here.

[unionrdr]

Yup,it's amazing how many here half my age or so still like country's older original stuff to boot. I grew up with all those old school country musicians.

 

[GarageDweller]

I just want to apologize for falling off the face of the earth here. there was a short time in my life, not long ago, where i felt a purpose in carrying on each day. Nowadays i'm lucky to take a silent breath without being ridiculed and questioned 10x's over by a woman. its about as common as any problem sung about in any average country song, but life has been hard on this country boy lately. I'm eyeing a 40acre plot out near where i was raised and hoping to avoid any legal troubles in the process of a major split with the ol' lady. I have no songs to post right now, but i hope to be back soon with some solid gold country and western music. You gentlemen keep the ball rolling, (downhill like a snowball headed for hell)...

Hey Garage Dweller missed you. Have I ever told you your handle is very similar to my life! I live in my garage, sort of. Out there is my stuff to build things, get away from everybody. Just putter around.

I'm sorry to hear about the struggles at home but completely understand and can relate to them. Forty acres sounds to me like a huge spread. (I live in an uban area).

Best of luck with all the going ons. We look forward to more of your postings when you're up to it.

Cheers!

Dan

We all need a Man cave to hide from the ol lady. Hopefully with security and a big dog that doesnt like her.....
Wish you the best in a turbulent time.

Three Texas namesakes for sure. Pat is all country as is REK. Ray Wylie Hubbard is straight outlaw and a total badass. You need to check out Hayes Carll, Jason Boland and Ryan Bingham.

"Just stay here and drink"
Merle Haggard

Well there. I suggest that us young'ns not only appreciate old time outlaws like Merle, but we have some that are not that pop shit music on the radio.

 

[McBrewskie]

Well old timer you got my goat, there's plenty still left, it just isn't on the radio.

 

[McBrewskie]

Though Merle still seems to be my favorite, especially when tearing off Mama Tried.

I see Georg Jones here, Marty Robbins, Waylon and some of the the others that have to be on the list, but no list of great country would be complete without Chris Ledoux!

I don't know how to embed the video, but here's a link to a great song.



What do you know? That did make an embedded video!



Then there is my favorite George Jones song



Got to have one Marty on my post



You pretty much have to include one by George Strait... King George


One from Travis Tritt. The man is one heck of an entertainer live.



I could go on but I'll stop!

This thread has been quiet for the last few months. Heard of this gal on another thread from BottleBomber. She's very good.

 

[Dan]

Some more Mean Mary music.

 

[Dan]

Okay, okay... last one.

 

[landshark]

I've been listening more lately to Mumford and Sons and of Monsters and Men, but one of my favorite female artist in thecountry genre has to be Amber Digby. Just wish she had more radio time as seems nobody plays her music.
