Anybody that makes the blanket statement that new country sucks can go fugk themselves. Guess this song's been out awhile but I just heard it the first time the other day. I can only hope the rest of her album is as good as this.

Clearly that'd be a stupid statement; tho it is clear that the quality of country music has diminished an awful lot.

That song... Particularly the vocalist.... Is great, and if you'd classify it as county it's an exception to the rule above.

Thanks for calling it to my attention!

Very nice. Reminds me of country when I was a kid. Not this current crap.

she comes close to the music of Matraca Berg. I'd say that was a compliment.

That is good! Thanks for putting it up.

I wouldn't say new country music sucks, but every country radio station I've heard in the past few years sucks big time.

Hadn't heard that song, or the band you posted. Not really my style but is a pretty good song. Much better than anything I've heard on the radio lately.

Oh my gosh, she's from California. San Francisco even.

Clearly she's not your typical "Hot New" country singer, she doesn't have the same back-up musicians, same steel guitar thrown in to make it country, same over-production and forced Nashville studio work forced on radio stations as the other bands and singers playing/singing "country" music.

Mighty pfoucing Merle, Buck Owens, and numerous others too.

I hate most the new stuff, epitomized by the FL GA line phags. But the point my drunk self was trying to make was that not all the new artists suck.

We can debate what is "country" all day. This chick is a very talented vocalist and wrote a damn good song. Figured I'd share with the 'fire.

Fortunately I like what I like and don't what I don't...

I don't paint music with much of any kind of brush.

There are days I'd listen to this song and enjoy it, and other days I'd flip the channel quick.

Being stuck on one kind of music would be boring to me in many ways.

That is a great song.

But whut duz DeFlave think of her???

How profound. Thanks for sharing.

She didn't say anything about momma, er trucks, trains or getting drunk......

That song fugking sucks.





Travis

I think she should take her shirt off.




Travis

Great stuff! You should check out Sturgill Simpson too if you haven't already.

Well it's not easy e or dre or snoop so I'm sure you don't care for it. You and rost should compare musical notes.

If she is too close to the fire, why does she not relocate her body in relation to the fire? It makes NO FUGKING SENSE.




Travis

Anyone that thinks this qualifies as country can go fugk themselves.

She has a nice voice tho.

Some more of her.

Straight Out of Compton comes out August 14th BTW.





Clark

BGG thanks for posting her up. Yeah, she was new to me.

Here is one more.

She needs a song writer, a band, and a hairdo.

And she needs to sing heavy metal.

This guy is good. lol

if you can't tell the new country music sucks today, then you need to turn up your picking hearing aid

Decent song and good voice. I'd listen to her. I'm with the others that say it is country radio and commercial Nashville that are churning out this so called "country" pop/rap/whiner music that is the problem. There are still good country artists and songs out there, it is just that "Country" radio won't play it since the 14 year olds won't buy it. That's why satellite radio is attractive to me since I can listen to the old stuff or the newer stuff, whatever I want when I want. Although I'm not sure that new artists with new music have any easier time of getting some airplay on satellite.

Alt country/americana rocks.

Iris Dement is pretty cool, but she don't fit the over produced nashville mold and you'll never hear her on "hot new" country stations.

Sue Foley is pretty good, too. Even though she's Canadiaan.

bwaaahahhaa

The pop music industry is what is whether rock, rap, country, top 40 etc. When a new group comes along with a unique sound and people like that sound the music companies try to replicate it with scores of clone bands. The problem is the clone bands want to make it so bad that they capitulate and play songs written for them and take on an image fabricated for them. With artistic expression, it just doesn't work when you're faking it.

There are plenty of talented musicians out there, and with the net it's easier for them to get heard.

sounds more like folk music to me than country, but I don't like labels on music


I like a wide variety of stuff and it's pretty dang cool that for folks that only like old country it's out there available

pretty cool that any of us can listen to whatever turns our crank for whatever mood we find ourselves in at a particular moment

I think Gruff got schitfaced and went all sappy on us last night.




Clark

It's Americana.

This is NOT country, and the dude looks like a total pfag, but nonetheless I like the song.

This should get some good negative posting going on here!

Another not country song, but badass!

She sounds like Stevy Nicks , and the music sounds live Fleetwood mac.

I'd rather listen to a screaming kid or a rock crusher all day..Dam.

What's funny is every generation has said "that's not country".

Jeezus, if I waned to shoot myself I'd put that crap on the radio before I pulled the trigger.

Since I don't want to off myself, I'll leave it off the radio.

Now that's a f'n song

She reminds me of a young Dolly Parton................... her voice and phrasing, I mean.

Here is the last good country song that was written. You never heard it on the radio either.

That's Emmy Lou Harris you hear at the end.

You beat me to it!!@!

If you think that I"m all about dre or snoop, you are nuts. You would be really surprised what all I have on my iphone...

I'll stick with what I said early, only one kind of music is boring.

I quoted Clarke in my reply because he does listen to a lot of gangsta rap. I rib him for it sometimes.

I would bet the theme song to Rescue Me is on there.

I looked it up and listened. The boy is good.

It sounds just like the town I grew up in. Except for the waffle house.

Puppy killing music.

It's ok. The genres have changed so much that its hard to know what anything really is.

tag

personally ive been listening to Little Cindy Lou Who all grow'd up lately....NSFW.....

It’s a f'ed up a world
What do you get from it?
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette

Well, I'll play. I'm slowing down as I get older, but I do like the simple sound a bass and drum make.

Good stuff...

I really dig Lucinda Williams then and now.

HAHA! That got a good belly chuckle out of me.

Point well taken BGG, and as one of the loudest bitchers about today's noise on the radio (and the azz hats from the FL/GA line) I appreciate the intro to this very talented lady. That's not the kind of song to listen to right before heading to bed, but I listened to it twice.
