Check out her cover of Shone (Collective Soul). The guys from Nickel Creek are in the video. It;s brilliant.

I don't know of it. Remember my chick singer phobia! lol I like Dolly, and would probably like her bluegrass stuff. I don't buy many CD's these days. Music is such a job, that I don't venture out much, for new stuff.

Yeah, there are like four of us on here who like country music. I loved Nickel Creek. Chris Thile attended my college for a few semesters, as his dad worked for the university.

One of my favorites, Dwight Yoakam, is releasing a new album in September.

I LOVE Dwight!!!! He rarely tours out of the southwest, though(at least when I check his dates, it always seems to be).

Dwight is the f*cking sh*t!!!!!! The real deal, in a sea of phonies!

He IS awesome. I saw him here in Kentucky earlier this year and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I like Dwight Yoakam.Great tunes.

[Macfanforever]

I love classic country from the early years up to the 1980's..I got started listenig to country music around when Rumours was released in 1977.I shelved all the other rock acts and kept FM on top of my list and welcome country music to my listening pleasure.

I remember in high school all of my friends were LOL at me because I liked country music.

Remember Barbara Mandrell -- I Was Country (When Country Was'nt Cool) .Her Nunber one tune from 1981. I fit the part of it.



The new country is like softrock or rock now.Its ok but I prefer the old tunes.

My younger (biological) brother, who I only met in person two months ago, became a father for the first time today! Suddenly, I'm Uncle Steve!

Since we've gotten into a little country discussion, here are some of my favourite country artists. It's a bit of a split between classic country and more country pop/rock, including a lot of the Laurel Canyon country rock of the early 70s:

Emmylou Harris
Steve Earle
Gram Parsons (including Fallen Angels, International Submarine Band)
Flying Burrito Brothers
Waylon Jennings
Willie Nelson
Sugarland (Jennifer Nettles has an incredible voice!)
Alison Krauss and Union Station
Dolly Parton (especially her bluegrass trilogy of album from about 10-12 years ago)
Nickel Creek
Linda Ronstadt (her rock material too)
Dixie Chicks
Rosanne Cash
Johnny Cash
JD Souther
Patsy Cline
kd lang
Miranda Lambert/Pistol Annies
Julie Roberts
Hayseed Dixie (so much fun!)
Loretta Lynn

Loads more too of course... In my guiltiest pleasure moments I'll listen to some Garth too and a little Clint Black (I love a Good Run of Bad Luck!). I haven't listened to much Dwight Yoakam though, maybe I need to hear some more...

Wow, you really do like the female country...(I DO love the Dixie Chicks-just about my only LOVE exception)
No Buck Owens, no Hank Sr, no Faron Young, no DWIGHT YOAKAM?
The 3 former, are all dead. Dwight is the real deal, right here and now. Steve Earle hasn't been TRUE country for 20 years. He(like John Mellendouche) decided that he was the new Blob Dylan....just an amalgam of americana crapola....some good, some.....not so much! Moody, self serving doucheiness! Steve is batsh*t crazy, too.

Garth flying by a harness over an arena....made me know that he's not country, but simply a sales whore(although I do like his voice). Clint's voice has always worked my last nerve. Too whiny, and I don't mean GOOD country twang.

(I'm having a mood tonight, pardon my bi*chiness!)

I hope you don't mind but I narrowed your list down
to include the artist I like myself.

And yes, you must listen to Dwight. A few suggestions:

dwightyoakamacoustic.net - My favorite of all his CD's.
Just him and guitar doing all his greatest.

And along with the new 3 Pears release, a 5 CD set is due
9/11/12 ~ Original Album Series (less than $25.00).

We both posted at 4:20(my time, anyway).
I can't believe that we're FINALLY having a country music discussion on the Ledge. Not "edge walks", or Steve E. "farting rainbows or unicorns".

And I can't wait for the original album series!!!
