Let's talk about Country

This is great! This question has plagued my life ever since I was a young lad and this seems like the place to ask it: I've seen this music video maybe once or twice and that was long, long ago.. I've been trying to think of the title/artist ever sense. Does anybody know the song where (it's one of the generic country dudes singing it) and he's outside a barbershop -I think- he's with a bunch of random old guys and random country-lovin'-dudes playing random instruments while the main guy sings. That's about all I can remember.

I think it is Wrapped Up In You by Garth Brooks.


And this thread should be ashamed that not one Garth Brooks song as been posted yet

Garth is the G.O.A.T.

One of two men I have a mancrush on. True story.
 
True that, Garth is the man. Sadly it is hard to fine Garth Brooks' songs on youtube that are not covers. I'm still happy I got to see him in concert when I was younger, such an awesome time
 
Johnny Cash Live At Folsom Prison is my favourite country album. A lot of rock could be confused with country these days.

If you don't like country, go to a country concert, and you will fall in love with everything about it.

Nothing like hot chicks drinking beers in daisy dukes, boots, and cowboy hats.

My first country concert was Brad Paisely. I've never seen so much beer drinking and tits popping out at a concert in my life.

Plus i smoked a J and no one looked at me weird for doing it.
 
I will say (and I'm 22 years old mind you) that 90's countries blows this past decades out of the water (aside from a few artists) and I don't listen to country nearly as often anymore. Only time I hear alot of it is when I'm at my rents house since that's 90% of what they listen to.

AMEN
 
I prefer classic country, to me anything pre mid 90's, there are a few artists I don't care for, but lots if good stuff.

My favorites
Kenny Rogers
Garth Brooks
Johnny Cash
Hank Williams
Willie Nelson
Patsy Cline
Randy Travis
George Strait
The Judds
Alabama
The Oak Ridge Boys
Little Texas
Alan Jackson

I also love Jerry Lee Lewis's country tunes
 
Old Country is my jam...Cash, Jennings, Haggard, Kristofferson, Nelson, Perkins, etc. Cash is a Top 5 act on my All-Time list. Can jam to Cash for days.

Current stuff? Jamey Johnson might be as far as I go.

Unbelievable that there has been no Eric Church posted in this thread. He is BY FAR the best thing going in today's country scene. I saw him twice this year, once with Jason Aldean and once with Toby Keith (two huge names, obviously) and he was better than both of them, both times. Can't wait to see him in 2012 when he's headlining.

Some other thoughts, since I missed this thread when it was first created. Country is my favorite genre, so I'm sorry I'm late to the party.

Rascal Flatts, they were excellent back in the earlier part of the 2000s, then they turned into a pop band, Gary started going overboard with the vocals, and they released a string of shitty power ballads like "Here Comes Goodbye" and "What Hurts The Most"...they stunk. However, their most recent album was pretty good and return to form.

I hate most "country" that gets played on radio these days. The artists worth listening to are few and far between, IMO. What pisses me off about it is nearly every other song is about partying or how "country" the artist singing the song is.

Now, let me say, there isn't anything wrong with that if it's done right. "Drink In My Hand" by Eric Church is a great, fun little song. George Strait went that route with his recent single "Here For A Good Time" and it's well done, classic Strait. Alan Jackson has done MANY "I'm from the country and proud of it" type songs, and they are all great.

It's just that 90% of country artists today don't want to come up with creative, fun, meaningful little songs like "Where I Come From" and would rather put out crap like "Backwoods" and "Way Out Here"...meh.
 
Film openings really don't get much better then this.

May recognize a young Lee Van Cleef, in his first movie.
 
i go through weird phases from country to rap to country every few years where its the main thing i listen to. Right now im on more of a rap and hard rock phase with the current stuff out there but i agree with Joe that Eric Church is killing the other jive turkeys out right now. I guess i tend to gravitate towards Eric Church since his songs sound less like pop songs to me.

I like just about anything Brad Paisley puts out 5th Gear and Carolina by Church are some of my favorite albums of the past decade.

As far as the im a simple man type songs i like Rodney Atkins for those lol. When "These Are My People" used to come on my son and i would sing these are my peep holes and make glasses with our hands, fun times.
