CMA

[MikeWa]

I watched the Country Music Awards last night. What a disappointment. Most of the music sounded like wan-a-be rappers. Even showing sign with their hands. In my opinion when you try to rap country music you get yuk. There were a couple that were ok but the country I grew up with is long gone. What is your opinion?

Country isn't country anymore but then they gave the most awards to Chris Stapleton who sounds pretty country to me. The rapping country bothers me too. That's why my mp3 players are loaded with old country and old rock. Well maybe some Celtic and Native American mixed in there too.

[videoarizona]

Agreed. Though I'm not a huge fan of country music, I do like the older songs and singers.

Wonder when the pendulum will swing back to good ole country music??

[Guest divey]

I agree Mike. A bit too much rap. But Billy Gibbons and Keith Urban sure cranked one out. Doug

Right there with ya Mike,,, personally I like the old non-rappin country music myself like these two are singin... Even the backup singer found at 1.29 in this song is far superior to the modern country rap singers, IMHO of course..

There is some good "new" country out there just not on the radio so much.

I am encouraged that things will turn around cause of all the awards Chris got. I like Zac Brown a lot but even his last offering was very diverse.

There is no "country" music anymore. The only difference in Rock/rap/hip hop/country is that there is no difference!

Carrie Underwood could sing a phonebook to me and I would be happy. Miranda Lambert looks like a fun bad girl especially singing ZZTOP.

Thats just it your old country that you and I grew up with, it was gone. Gone wife, gone job, gone money, gone dog, gone fishin, gone sex, gone drinking and gone reason to breathe. Not necessarly in that order.

[bongobobny]

Yeah, I can remember back in the 60's my Father and Uncle saying the same thing about Country Music, and how Hank Snow was the best...

Merle Haggard, Country Music Legend, Dies at 79

Country legend Merle Haggard, often called “the Poet of the Common Man,” whose music reflected his hardscrabble roots and hard-living ways as well as a tenderness that made him a revered songwriter, has died at his home near Redding, Calif. He was 79.

 

Rest in Peace Mighty Merle Rest in Peace!

[slowrollwv]

So sad that we lost another legend. He was to perform in Hagerstown Md. in June.

[mraf]

Another legend GONE. R.I.P. Merle:337:
