What is Real Country Music for you

Country Music is not only about new or old songs.I think is about feelings or the history of a country.

Country Music is about love and good times,wars and peace,about the soul searching or about lost souls and souls found.

Let's try to begin with the beginning.

Johnny Cash : Ring Of Fire



and Dolly Parton & Shania Twain & Alison Krauss



Emmylou Harris & Dwight Yoakam :GoldenRing

Metal head here. Not going to poop on your thread just want to point a few things out. Johnny Cash isn't just country. I've got 5 decades in and I have yet to find 1 person that doesn't like Johnny. He transcends genres. His music is just real. One of his last recordings:



A Nine Inch Nails tune. Personally I don't care for NIN BUT he took this song I didn't like to one that I did. I don't think it's weird to listen to Sabbath and then Johnny.

My favorite when i was a kid..

Man that selection opened up a can of good memories baddmove. "They even got a bear in the air"

Speaking of trucking/western songs, how bout this one?

Or this classic:

Man we're old huh? (time wise that is)

I was a radio announcer for a country station back in the late 70's. Kinda hard for a kid that was growing up with Sabbath, Zepp, Queen, to listen AND play this but I got a good lesson on some tunes I wouldn't have had other ways:



My ex was a Loretta Lynn fan. There's some good tunes there. Well, not LL. Might be why she's my ex. She never could get used to Motorhead either.
