I was recently at my favorite SL country music club and realized that the music they were playing was what I call city slicker country music. In other words all the best Nashville has to offer. Before I go any further I want to say that I am NOT questioning anyones musical taste as anyone can listen to and like whatever they want to. Does anyone in SL like the old time real country music and is there a club for that? I mean Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs and the Chieftains  |

Strange thing about Cash -- No matter what age he was, he always looked 40. At 25, he looked 40, at 40 he looked 40, at 60 he looked 40. Closest I get to country music is bluegrass. Oddly popular in upstate New York.

Here in Washington bluegrass is very popular in one part of the state and they have an annual festival there that really kicks. |

I don’t do country but I worked with a guy that did and he had me put on this Blue Grass band doing Clapton. It was really good. After about one time throw I was sick of it. I wanted to dig my ears out. Any time we car pulled I wanted to rip my own ears off, he put it on just to get to me. I am a Metal freak.

I like Dwight Yoakam; I think he's my favorite country music artist, and he leans toward the old-fashioned, traditional honky-tonk/Appalachia type stuff. I'm a crappy two-stepper, but I swear that every time I hear "Streets of Bakersfield," a duet he did with Buck Owens back in the '80s, I want to get up and dance. Merle Haggard is another artist who is "real" country, to me. Alan Jackson and some of George Straight's stuff is good, too, just to name a few. I have to agree with you about the majority of current country music, Susie; it's not very country, it's all been "citified" and sounds more like adult contemporary. I don't listen to much country music because I consider a lot of it crap. I also don't know of any clubs in SL that play this genre of music... but then, I'm not really a SL clubber.
