Aint nothin' wrong with listening to country music. Although we should make the distinction between EVIL country (Garth Brooks, Lee Ane Rimes, anything that has to do with line dancing) and GOOD country (Wilco, Scud Mountain Boys, etc.)

I think the distinction may be the difference between country (corny tales of woe) and western (which can be brilliant...Texas swing like Bob Wills, Asleep at the Wheel, and almost every song on the album Western Songs by Emmy Lou Harris] Some old country rock was alright too - Riders of the Purple Sage, the Byrds, Steve Miller, Workingman's Dead, some Lowell George of Little Feat ( my fave) etc.

Had me scared for a moment when NYMets mentioned the word TRENDY. Mostly because I don't really know anyone who likes some of the music I do, and I quite like it that way.
Wow as to your first statement "No Way!" I've been avoiding it for years LOL and I can honestly say that I have never even heard of ANY of these bands that you've mentioned. Are they Australian?Originally posted by Shinboners
I think you probably know more about C&W than what I do....I certainly can't make the distinction between country and western like you have.
For me, Wilco is (at the moment) as heavily country as I get, and only some of their stuff is strictly country. But bands like Wilco and Scud Mountain Boys/Pernice Brothers write pop songs where there is a distinct country flavour (whether by instrumentation or how they sing their songs). A band like Mazzy Star has their singer, Hope Sandoval, singing in a country style (that mid-Western and Southern inflection in the voice).
Anyway, my recommendations are: Scud Mountain Boys/Pernice Brothers/Joe Pernice (Overwhelmed By Happiness is brilliant), Wilco, Mazzy Star, Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown, Golden Rough, the Mabels, Edith Frost, Lois Maffeo (The Union Themes CD is excellent)....the Magnetic Fields also did an "electronic" country album called "The Charm Of The Highway Strip" and that has its moments too.

Have you ever been to the soul nights that The Kommisar used to run every now and again in Melbourne? Then there's Thursday night at Cherry (not sure if it's still on....I haven't been there for a while) where they'd have a soul night. My God...some of those mods can really dance...... [/QUOTE
