Very close to the truth. I would put it this way: contemporary Top 40 country is simply pop music for white people. It’s not urban, it’s not country. It’s suburban music.

Guys, they are bringing back traditional country.

William Michael Morgan hit #1 with I Met A Girl. His sound is closer to Stapleton than the others. His twang when he sings sounds like King George Strait.

Justin Moore hit some cool classic sounds like Small Town USA, If heaven Ain't So Far Away and the likes. He made a comedy song called You Look Like I need A Drink.

Cole Swindell did a song that is traditional country.

Mo Pitney is traditional.

Josh Turner sounds a lot like Randy Travis.

Jon Pardi songs recently sounds like Eddie Rabbit and Mickey Gilly. Honky Tonk

Loretta Lynn said that Darius Rucker songs sounds like classic country music of telling a story.

Chris Young sounds like traditional country singers with his voice.

Brad Paisley is trying to stay traditional country. He had Little Jimmy Dickens featured on most of his albums until Jimmy's death.

Alan Jackson and Trace Adkins got buried by today's country. My high school class mate and friend is a record producer and songwriter in Nashville. He remixed Trace's song Honkytonkbadonkadonk to hit the pop charts. He also produce some of early Little Big Town's songs, wrote songs for She Daisy's and fellow classmates from Point Of Grace. Me and Denise Masters Jones from Point of Grace are friends from high school.

Have you been trolling us all this time? You made one grammatical error in all that...

Gotta assume your being sarcastic. That's a planet away from country.

Half-way. I will say, this hits home with the under 18 crowd out here in the country. They absolutely LOVE it. I think it's freaking hilarious.
Interesting choices in this from a production standpoint, too. The chick up on the hood doing the twerk/stripclub grind could be drop-dead gorgeous, but they chose
to put her in black rimmed glasses and pigtails. Little stuff like that, the sepia overlay and "end of reel" every 10 seconds or so, I find that stuff interesting.

Steve Earle said it best when talking about the music coming out of Nashville today...

"The best stuff coming out of Nashville is all by women except for Chris Stapleton," he said. "The guys just wanna sing about getting f***ed up. They're just doing hip hop for people who are afraid of black people.

"I like the new Kendrick Lamar record, so I'll just listen to that."

Steve Earle gives me a headache. I absolutely love his music but in too many of his songs the democrat in him makes me cringe. And he's about as far from traditional country music as you can get.

I like the direction this thread has taken.

Doesn't really matter what genre of country Church is pigeon-holed into, he's still wrong on this issue.

Closing the non-existent "gun show loophole" wouldn't have stopped the Las Vegas shooting because the shooter bought his guns from gun shops where he had to submit and pass a background check. When someone brings a strawman into an argument it shows they are arguing from a position of ignorance, and quite honestly it sounds to me as if Church had some coaching regarding his statement.

Seems to me that Church deserves a listing in this thread:

Oh and on top of all that I refuse to take gun advice from an idiot with poor trigger discipline and decision making.

I don't even know WHAT that was.

I grew up on folk music and Bach, Brahms and Opera. Yea, Mom and Dad had some differing tastes. Dad in the Hollerin' group playing the mandolin, Mom singing with the UT Stars (I think it was)Madrigal group. Funny thing was, He was the one from St Paul, she from Tejas.

Maybe that's why it worked?!? *shrugs*

He needs his finger broke.

Brandon Chruch's death

I think we should hold off on bashing Eric for awhile. It is just too soon after his brother's death.

I agree with this. While I don't think the NRA are really "protecting" the 2nd amendment anymore they aren't to blame for this and the gun show loophole wouldn't have changed things. You don't need to have a mental illness to do something like this just evil in your heart and how do you regulate that?

Also with background checks how do they protect against those that haven't had any documented mental illnesses and who decides where the line is drawn?

The biggest school shooting was done with handguns and they aren't going anywhere.

Gun control discussions always get hariy

He's not holding off shooting off his mouth. Plus we're not discussing his brother, we're discussing his comments about blaming a non profit for a shooting.

I really dislike the people who claim the certain country isn’t country enough. Country music has evolved as everything does. Doesn’t make it bad or good it just makes it different

Quote:Eric Church says NRA to blame for Las Vegas Shooting

and Eric Church is wrong.
