[Misc] Confession

[Super Steve Earle]

I seem to be enjoying country music more and more of late.

Anyone else similarly afflicted?

Hi Bozza

Here is my gift to you:

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Bloody hell Bozza: I go away from NSC for a bit and this happens?

Welcome to the dark side.

Welcome to the dark side.

A bit? Seems like ages

As we're on the subject, I'm going to put a shout in for First Aid Kit, who, despite being Swedish, have- in my humble opinion- a fantastic country/ folk sound. Saw them at the Dome a couple of years ago. They were ace.

I LOVE First Aid Kit.

Absolutely brilliant and I'm very jealous that you've seen them live. I recall Mark Radcliffe saying that they were possibly the best live singers he'd ever heard when they did a couple of tunes on his show.

And there's this....

I adore that song, it's beautiful, and having Emmylou Harris there was a real moment, wasn't it? Their vocal harmonies are so good. And yes, they were excellent live. I think they wanted to do the Dome when they came to Brighton because of its ABBA history

That wouldn't surprise me as they really know their music.

Re the harmonies, I can't even work out who is doing which bit sometimes.

It's what Radcliffe said. He'd never never heard anything like it. They're really, really good.

And yes, that video makes me well up every time.

Country? .....well, I like Johnny Cash and some bluegrass tunes.., but that schmaltzy stuff like Dolly and Loretta Lyn ......Stand By Your Man and all that , makes me want to

 

[Icy Gull]

This from 1962 is a forgotten classic from a great country singer moving more towards pop but worth a listen anyway

How has this thread not mentioned Hank Williams yet?

This mob (who got me into Alt C&W) covering one of his classics...

I saw First Aid Kit too and they were good. Emmylou is a legend and this offering of a Rodney Crowell song sends shivers down my spine every damn time.......

What form of country music genre are you getting into [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]?
I love most of the new stuff that’s on the circuit currently and could recommend loads worth listening to.
I listen any country pretty much from the 70s as well as right up to date.
I also play and sing a lot as well and can be found on Soundcloud.

Recent legends include George Strait, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, Scotty MCreery, Chris Stapleton, Toby Keith and many more besides.

Happy to divulge further if you need.

In my earlier post I described her as heavenly so agree with you 100% and about First Aid Kit
