Not much pot smoking rebel country in the '40s. Joel Send a noteboard - 08/02/2012 09:53:49 PM
At least not publicly. I like Charlie Daniels (about the only "pot smoking rebel country" I know unless you count the Allmans and Skynyrd) as much as the next man, but a pet peeve of mine is people saying, "old country is good," only to reveal they mean stuff from the '60s or even '70s when country music was well into its Hollywood dotage. Just because some C&W singers decided to hop on the "folk music" bandwagon and all it implied once it became popular does not make them in any way representative of country music that actually WAS folk music. In that respect, The Orangeblossom Special is still more folk AND more country than any long haired country boy.

Since that is the only real country, and quite excellent, no, just the opposite. - 07/02/2012 08:07:08 PM 880 Views
