| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/24/2006 6:15:33 AM | Well I like it, I love it, I want some more of it... country song by the way for those who don't know!!!
I like it, wouldn't say I love it, but it's mostly what I listen too. Some songs just relate to real life alot I find. And since I love to sing karaoke, well it's just easier to sing that than to try and scream out some AC/DC!!! | |

Posted: 8/24/2006 6:19:53 AM | Im with Shappy on this one cant stand it,the only counrty I can possibly stomach is Elvis Presley and thats cause Im a huge Presley fan and he can do no wrong in my books.Wont put even Elvis country on but if it happens to come on the radio Id probably have a lsiten

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/24/2006 10:07:26 AM | | I don't know why some people feel embarrassed to admit they like country music. I love country music. Most of today's best music is country music in my opinion. I get so sick of that same ol' manufactured, over-produced pop junk, I need to listen to country just to snap out of it and actually enjoy listening to music again. | |

Cheers | |

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/24/2006 12:31:31 PM | Country music has some of the hottest most talented singers around.. IMO... Just to name a few of my favourite (male) country singers...
Garth Brooks Brad Paisley Arron Tippen Billy ray Cyrus Travis Tritt Toby Keith Tim Mcgraw Vincegill Emerson Drive and the ONE AND ONLY.... LONESTAR....
I could go on....
Now to my favourite (female) country singers....
Shania Twain Gretchen Wilson Terry Clark Martina Tricia Yearwood Mindy McCready Loretta Lynn Reba DIXIE CHICKS (sold out already bummmmmmmer) Lorrie Morgan Barbara Mandrell ( old song lol) and the Beautiful Faith Hill...
Again I could go on......
I would bet that most , if not all, posters :) like one of the people mentioned . They have songs out that you wouldn't even think was country lol.... I call it country rock
I'm going to the corral soon and maybe we can get a few people out to it from here. If ya can sing join up for the contest. I think you get air time on KX96 and a record deal if you win.. Don't quote me, but .. I believe thats what it is...
Edit .... OMG Tiny Talent Time... HAHAHA... I watched that show all the time.... Now I know im getting older lol..

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/24/2006 12:43:32 PM | | I love country music too. Never hid it. I've played guitar and sang since I was 10 years old and it was mostly country music. Was on Tiny Talent Time in 1972! If anyone remembers that show.....! lol | |

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/24/2006 1:28:53 PM | IMO Country music is emotional. Many can relate and many chose to avoid the words that hit home in many songs. The life lessons and the stories in many artists songs is truly remarkable. Take a local band by the name of Dry County for instance. The lead singer battled the fight with cancer and won. He wrote a song I believe its called "When I get to Heaven" which was written for a young woman he had done Kemo treatments with who lost her fight. Its so touching to hear the song, but once you put the story behind it, it alows you to really see things in a new light.
There is so much talent no matter what style of you choose to listen to, thats why there is such a variety. I am sure each one of us goes through times when they need to hear Tea Party's Temptation, and then times when they can enjoy some Rascal Flatts. We all need to be just a little more open minded and ejoy what makes us feel good. | |

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/24/2006 7:45:35 PM | I have a catalog of 1600 songs on my computer....98% of it is country. The other stuff is just for a change once in a long while.
I flip between KX96 and The New Country 95.3. I have to admit I prefer 95.3....Jerry Archer can be annoying.

Country music is cool? When did this happen?
I was caught off guard too Dave. Could be during the self induced coma of my marriage? Hmmm...
I like southern rock, and california sound. Some of the "new country" sounds like that, and I'm ok with it - but twang ... ug! | |

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/25/2006 5:25:52 AM | I listen to most all types of music but my radio station is preprogramed to Country 93-it also has 103.5 and 95 as well as The Bull Was out ot the Harb in Owen Sound Wednesday night to see Gord Bamford and I must say I was pretty surprised by the amount of younger folk enjoying the show. And obviously by the quite rotund lady behind us-his show sent her into fits of farts EWWWWWWWW
I've seen Toby Keith, Paul Brandt recently but am I upset at having to go see Jewel in a couple of months...HELL NO!!!
The low down almost dirty sound of country now days is a blast-listening to the classics early Sunday morning is great too(and hey-how did I know all the words???)
Most favortie song right now ME N MY GANG!!! | |

Patch: It's been wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long girl... When you coming down to go to the Corral?.... we can boot scoot and boogie :):)
Out in the country Past the city limits sign Well there's a honky tonk Near the county line The joint starts jumpin' every night When the sun goes down They got whiskey, women, music and smoke It's where all the cowboy folk Go to boot scootin' boogie
I've got a good job I work hard for my money When it's quittin' time I hit the door runnin' I fire up my pickup truck And let the horses run I go flyin' down that highway To that hide-a-way Stuck out in the woods To do the boot scootin' boogie

| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/25/2006 6:16:37 AM | | Ihad the country music tv on yesterday(for married with children,why its on there is anybodys guess) and saw a black country singing/rapping cowboy,dont know his name but is was pretty funny stuff | |
|
| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/25/2006 7:30:26 AM | I grew up on Country music, my father played fiddle in a country band so it was all around me. Yep, the old twangy Hank Williams, Conway Twitty style…..you name it, I can probable sing it (into a hairbrush in the mirror)….lol
As for the new stuff in the last 15 years, I like some of it….can live without some of it but at the end of the day the Jazz standards will always win out! | |
|
| Now That Country Music is cool. Posted: 8/25/2006 7:34:03 AM | that black rapping cowboy is cowboy troy lol. I cant' stand too much of the new stuff... its not even country. I like the old stuff, and older george strait, most garth brooks... I want country not some pop singer acting country. they really bombed out country night on canadian idol, the only night I watched all season and it SUCKED. I have a pet peeve with people wearing cowboy hats because its in style... and they aren't country! if you want to act country you better be country lol. | |
