Am I lame for seriously enjoying good ol' country. The_Muted_Grimaud Send a noteboard - 07/02/2012 06:00:55 AM
I don't mean that 'pop'pycock crap that passes for it today, but the real shit. I was listening to Jimmy Wakely and some other 'singing cowboys' today, it's really such enjoyable music. The one linked below (Oklahoma Hills from 1949) has some quite attractive instrumental solos in it to go along with the song. So nice! :| Some of the other ones have small choruses of sorts doing wordless humming and oohing ...

The fact that its organic is so nice too, real voices and instruments, an actual band or even mini-orchestra in some of the videos. Not like the pop music today which uses synths and patches for everything. I really hate this era's pop music. :[ ><img class=' /> The only 'pop' on my computer is Over the Rainbow with Judy Garland singing. That counts as pop in 1939 at least don't it?

Since that is the only real country, and quite excellent, no, just the opposite. - 07/02/2012 08:07:08 PM 1010 Views
