Give me George Jones for my Country and George Strait for my Western.

what's the difference if you don't mind me asking. Between Country and Western....

 

[BucVol98]

George Jones is the true GOAT

I am BucVol98 and I approve this message

 

[wrangler]

I'll take George Jones over recent singers.

Favorite Garth Brooks is still "Cowboy Bill".

That face lol. Always so serious in pictures like he just cracked a fart he didn't trust.

 

[chavisut]

but its not called country. that genre has been hijacked by the bedazzled head piece microphone twits.

Americana is country to me.

I’ve always wondered,but just how close is the Alan Jackson and George strait
“Greatest of all Time” discussion for you all?..because between myself and friends we are pretty much split on who is the Goat! And it is extremely hard for me because I like both!

 

[chavisut]

I never “got” country music from male singers. It’s all sappy songs about trucks and child support.

Now, FEMALE country singers produce some high quality music.

Never heard Isbell or Childers sing about a truck.

so you believe the “lets get married for the public eye” discussion

 

[wrangler]

Never heard Isbell or Childers sing about a truck.

Giddyup Go, Phantom 409, like them truck songs.

But it doesn't get better than Patsy Cline.

Off topic.................how is the best way to keep your touchscreen clean? Mine looks like **** all the time

Lol, that is random. I use those alcohol sunglasses cleaner things.

Childers sings about his mustang...

Hard to put your finger on it, you kind of know it when you hear it, and the differences were far more pronounced 40-50 years ago than they are today. It’s an oversimplification, but Country evolved from the Bluegrass of Appalachia and Western is based in Western Swing. Kind of like the subtle differences in culture between Tennessee and Texas. I don’t think there is any formal classification anywhere.

good singer, but never wrote not one song in his career.

Actually he did. Him and his son collaborated on 7 songs off the Here for a Good Time album. George doesn't have to be a writer though. He let's his voice do the work. You can write all day long but if you don't have the voice you don't bring home as much $. Just the nature of that business.

I can't associate Americana, Isbell, Sturgill, Avett Bros, etc. with country in any way shape of form. Country is the CBS sitcom of music.

Songwriters actually make the most money. They own the commercial rights to the song.

Fair enough but I don’t consider country, country.

Bob Dylan disagrees...

Dylan was a superb singer for 20 years..go listen to Nashville Skyline.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Bob Dylan disagrees...

He's a singer/songwriter. Not too many of those. That are good at both anyways. Dylan is a good songwriter. Singer? I've never been a fan.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

To my knowledge Elvis Presley wasn't much of a songwriter either. Or a musician for that matter. He didn't have to be.

Just giving you a hard time... I've never cared much for his vocals either, but I don't think anyone can argue that he was wildly successful.

It doesn't work with mobile links but if you edit out the "m." at the beginning, it should work.
