Country music

No, you hate pop country
- True statement. Miss me with that truck-beer-girl-dog shit.
  
  Huntin' deer, chasin' trout. A Bud Light with the logo facin' out!
  
  Steve Goodman and John Prine are said to have written the "perfect" country song. Incorporating as it does trucks, trains, the rain, mama, drinkin' and prison.
  "Well, I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got run over by a damned old train..."
  
  I'm sure there's some dumbass country "truck-beer-girl-dog" songs that are great. Haven't heard any but still
  
  Don't forget jeans. Gotta throw those in
  
  I get the hate for truck beers, don't DUI folks. But what's wrong with girl dogs?
- It called hick-hop
- Yeah this is more folk, like Fleetwood Mac or others. What would be called stadium country is pure trash, but god damn that folk music..
- I just hate songs I don't vibe with
- Bro country

- Today's "country" is pop with a southern accent. Long live Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, Roger Miller, Buck Owens, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Jeannie C. Reily, Hank Sr, Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Porter Wagoner...
  The list of amazing old country music is long as fuck if given a chance. The list of today's good country artists? Charley Crockett, Sturgil Simpson, Hank III, John Moreland, American Aquarium. That's about it, few more I'm forgetting I'm sure.
  
  Today's POPULAR country is that way. There are still great country artists, they just don't get as big. Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, Charlie Crockett, Margo Price, Sarah Jarosz
  
  Honestly, even some of the more pop stuff pre-2000s was good. I do love me some Dwight Yoakam. But I can't handle any of the stuff they play on country stations these days. All the songs sound the same and are almost all about the same exact things. I wouldn't be surprised if they just have AI coming up these songs at this point.
  
  Can't talk about great, old country without mentioning John Prine and of course Johnny Cash. There really is a lot of it.
  
  Absolutely. Og country has more in common with punk than modern Ford truck month country.
  Happy you mentioned modern ones. It ain't my jam, but people often lament how it's all shit now when there are almost always artists keeping it alive. Just have to look a little harder.
- Most old country is dogshit too, we just carry the good songs through decades!
- I absolutely agree with that.
- Not sure when it's about West Virginia
  
  You mean the home of the battle of Blair Mountain, union history making, miner rights fighting for, West Virginia!? You probably need to listen to more country music. Or read

🎶WEST VIRGINIA!
MOUNT YER MAMMA!
TAKE ME HOME!
TO MY COUSIN'S HOLE!🎶
- Hot cousin is just free xp you're not sure if you want to farm

That doggamn sky cowboy
- The original music vid is funny how sincere it is.

If you haven't seen it, I implore you to watch the Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart. This song features heavily. It's my favorite Ghibli film, heck it's possibly my favorite film period.
- Just saw it for the first time a couple days ago. Beautiful film. Been keeping a running list of what age I should show Ghibli movies to my niece. I put this one at 13. She turns 4 soon, which I think is a good age to start her with Ponyo.
- Thank you, this is an unexpectedly wholesome recommendation on a shitpost.

Or sing "Wet Vagina" and see if anyone notices.
- Why do you think the other line is "mount'n mamma"?

Had Mr sunshine on his goddamn shoulders ever visited wv he would have changed the lyrics..... Ain't nobody Wana go the the shithole that is wv
- I'll say this, it's one of the most beautiful states as far as nature goes. Going white-water rafting in the fall when the leaves are changing in the New River Gorge was spectacular. But everything else about the state.... yeah. I traveled quite extensively there when I financially audited a coal company. It's honestly just hopeless how poor and uneducated the people are, and how they vote against their own interests every single time, only making their situation more desperate.
  
  100% this. I live like 4 miles from wv and have spent My whole life traveling through and doing industrial contractor work through every part of that state. The only parts that aren't absolutely trash are the places people can't live. We should just exterminate it and turn it into a national park....mother fuckers from there can't even drive once they cross the line, they are always the ones that are going 10mph under the speed limit because they are confused by roads that aren't shit.
- Littering and?
  
  Creating a public nuisance

Hell, even Germans love 'em some Country Roads.

EDIT: Forgot to add, when I met my Filipina fiancé I wasn't sure what sorts of American culture she had been exposed to. LOL, put on Country Roads and she started belting it out. 9 to 5 also!
- Nice! My gf is from Manilla, total city girl. It's a continuing joy learning what she does and doesn't know about our pop culture.
  Hopefully we'll get her back home in the next year or two and I can put myself in her place.
  How you like it? I have vague plans of us retiring there.
- I didn't know the NFL played games outside the USA. Odd that two American teams are playing in Germany. I wonder what the audience demographics are. Do Americans travel to Germany to watch the games or are there mostly Germans there?

Good ol song about Maryland
- It's about NOVA
  
  John Denver confirmed it was written about Clopper rd in Gaithersburg, MD when he would frequent it on his way home to WV.

Is that country or folk?
- It was country music, back when it came out.
  Now it would probably be called "Americana" or something.

I am not American but I still like these songs.
Highwayman
Wichita Lineman
Hello Walls
Funny how time slips away

Also me whenever Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' comes on
- My Filipina gf knew that one too! OTOH, "I do not know, what's this?, Metallica?"
- Johnny Cash too!

The most modern country music I will listen to is Garth Brooks. Unless Country Song by Seether counts as country music.
- Jason Isbell?
  Sturgill Simpson?
  Blackberry Smoke?
  Billy MF Strings?
  Or do you like music about American flags, cheating pickup trucks, dead dogs, and terminally ill wives?
  
  By odd chance, I got turned onto Sturgill last month and I've had all the albums on repeat since. I had always liked the odd bluegrass or folk song, but never had a real in with country before this. Excited to check out the rest of this list!
  Fingers crossed that one of these are still touring.
- Garth needs to tell the families where the bodies are buried, they need closure

I exclusively associate that song with RTGame on YouTube obliterating his cities in Cities Skylines.
As an aside, IRL I like to call the state "Left Virginia" for ironic shits and giggles.
- That works on two levels, whether you're bad at maps or want to reference it's origin of leaving Virginia to stay with the Union during the civil war.
