Suggest me some country - Page 2

Everyneurotic · 10.17.2007, 10:59 AM

i saw porter wagoner open for the white stripes and he was insane!!! his whole band, played awesome and the songs were kickass.

i never heard the appeal of dwight yoakam, all the songs i've heard from him have been hyper boring.

can ask suggestion for something myself? anybody can recommend good trucker music? (raw country with trucker related lyrics).

atari 2600 · 10.17.2007, 02:11 PM

Floyd Tillman, Johnny Paycheck, Tammy Wynette, Roger Miller & C.W. McCall, of course...Conway Twitty, haha if you have to go there.

now for the alt-country and country rock
Chickasaw Mudd Puppies (I will always carry the legend of their incomparable country blues deep within my heart...fucking art-country, not alt-country)
Elvis doing country
The Rolling Stones doing country
Bob Dylan doing country or roots rock
The Band doing country or roots rock
Johnny Cash & Bob Dylan
Grateful Dead doing country or roots rock
Jerry Garcia Band (mostly bluegrass)
New Riders on the Purple Sage (mostly bluegrass)
Ween doing country
The Byrds doing roots rock
Buffalo Springfield doing roots rock
Neil Young doing roots rock
John Cougar Mellencamp doing roots rock
CCR doing roots rock
The Eagles doing roots rock
The Flying Burrito Brothers
Olivia Newton-John's early mellow country
Gram Parsons

Yes. She has the voice of a fucking angel

Roxy Music - Country Life

MysticalChicken · 10.17.2007, 06:18 PM

I'm a huge Old 97's fan. They're my favorite alt-country band. Too Far to Care is awesome, Fight Songs is good, and I was going to get Wreck Your Life last time I was music shopping but they didn't have it.

I haven't heard much of their stuff but I like Drive-By Truckers a lot.

Also, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Neko Case (she's amazing), Wilco (yes, I like Wilco, so suck it), Ryan Adams, The Avett Brothers, and Johnny Cash.

My favorite country at the moment is Bhutan.

I hope to travel there soon.

I made a joke! haha ha ha ha hahahaha haha ha.

ha.

noumenal · 10.17.2007, 07:25 PM

I'm seeing the Drive-by Truckers on Saturday! Woo-hoo!

Green Magnesium · 10.17.2007, 08:03 PM

I'm seeing them next Thursday! Hooray for us. Is yours gonna be a "rock show", or a stripped down folk show, noumenal? I have to settle for the latter... but I'm just happy to see them at all... the small theater they'll be performing in is the perfect place to be up close and personal with the band/music.

In addition to Drive-By Truckers, I recommend Lucinda Williams and Grant Lee Buffallo.

atari 2600 · 10.17.2007, 08:06 PM

I think Fight Songs is their best.

I've never heard any Rhett Miller solo.

noumenal, what, no Ronnie Milsap mention?

noumenal · 10.17.2007, 08:47 PM

I'm pretty sure that what I'm seeing is part of the DIRT UNDERNEATH tour, which is the stripped down thing. I'm fine with that.

atari, isn't his glowing visage enough?

born blind a named a virtuoso on the violin after studying it from the age of seven to the age of eight...one year

Everyneurotic · 10.17.2007, 10:22 PM

thanks for the recomendations, atari.

atari 2600 · 10.17.2007, 10:35 PM

No prob.

I made a couple of country mixes recently (have a few already) and then happened to catch some PBS deal where they play archival videos (sometimes full-length, but most of the time they are clips) and simultaneously shill a country compilation (to raise money, I suppose), and the set they were selling had just about all the same songs as my my discs.

Deja vu, but I almost forgot this time around (in this latest "country music" thread)...

My second grade school teacher, Wanda Malette, wrote "Looking for Love" which appeared in the Urban Cowboy soundtrack. I was in class in sixth grade at the time the announcement over the intercom was made.

Everyneurotic · 10.17.2007, 10:38 PM

have the kinks been mentioned? their country stuff, of course.

atari 2600 · 10.17.2007, 10:42 PM

Yeah, they did do a few roots-rocky country-folk things.

Muswell Hillbillies I love.

other favorite Kinks
(just consider me obnoxious if you must)
Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround
The Village Green Preservation Society
Something Else (favorite early Kinks)
Preservation Acts I & II
Arthur

even like Soap Opera and Low Budget to an extent

gmku · 10.17.2007, 10:49 PM

Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet through Exile on Main St. Not all of those albums are country, but the country that's there is excellent.

This guy is awesome too, because he's my dad and I played half the instruments on that mofo album.

You bet, some of the best ever country-rock.

...and there's also a noteworthy country-tinge on some of Sticky Fingers (Sway, Wild Horses, Dead Flowers) and Some Girls (Far Away Eyes), but you know that already.
