Country Music

[Zak33]

I've been a Dolly fan for a long long time....and Garth Brooks....and the recent launch of a double CD (bit sloppy, so bewarned) Country Love Songs, got me al moist

And I gotta tellya.....its bloody great Best thing about Compliations is you hear a few people who you NEVER heard before. And some are pants, but some are fantastic

It starts with Shania Twain and "From this Moment" (get your finger out from the back of your throat, I warned you it was soppy) then into Leann Rimes "How do I live", then Patsy Cline, then Bellamy Brothers "If I said you had a beautifull body, would you hold it against me?".....

and then it gets surreal and excellent...get THIS

Next is Elvis Costello "A Good Year for the Roses" and then K D Lang "Constant Craving"

Im hooked by now...and it goes on and on..Patti Smyth with Don Henley's fantastic gruff vocals half way through.

19 tracks on Disk 1
19 on Disk 2

Dolly, Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers

and Reba McEntryre, "Talking in your sleep"...now THAT IS NEW TO ME, and I LOVE IT

The Mavericks spice it up, and even Elvis didn't do this as well --"Dance the Night Away"

The Judds "Love can build a bridge"

Its gotta be got....its fantastic


*long drawn out embaressed silence ensues*

I'll....err.....I'll.....er.....get my 10 gallon hat and Stetsons and go then

Sound alright zak33, dont you find though it's hard sometimes to separate pop from some country songs?

Seem to have similiar influences

[Zak33]

Yeah....cos a lot of Pop songs are based on either old country tracks or old Rock/Metal tracks.....

but then, when has that ever been different?

Thats why I like Country.....and thats a bit different to Country and Western....

Heres a wierd one tho....why do I prefer ladies singing Country music? It sounds weird to me that a bloke would sing those songs! Perhaps its cos I love Dolly

I dont patitcularly like country music but i must say it amuses me
