There is still good country out there. You just have to look beyond the crap they play on the radio. Look at what they now classify as "outlaw" country or "Alternative" country. Lots of talented young (and old) players and writers out there!
Hit the nail on the headl with that. Last year before Haggard passed away he was asked about "new country" music. His reply was that he liked Sturgill Simpson but the rest of it was all sxxt.
Just came across this. What fun. Love the jokes, stories. Sammy Allred, telling the stories, has a great personality: He just died age 84 in May this year. (Wikipedia needs updating) They've got some good creds: Here's what wikipedia has to say: The group has appeared on Austin City Limits three times.[4] The Austin Music Awards inducted The Geezinslaws into its Hall of Fame for 2005. The Geezinslaws latest release, Eclectic Horsemen (2005), has guest performances by Willie Nelson, Kinky Friedmanand Kelly Willis. Sammy Allred also worked in radio on and off for over forty years, much of the time as a radio personality on KVET in Austin. He is a member of the Texas Radio Hall of Fame and won the Country Music Association Personality of the Year Award in 2006 and 2007 and the Billboard Personality of the Year Award in 1971 and 1997.[5]
Tell that to Travis Tritt and Allen Jackson they record their own music at their own studio in their house and before them Waylon and Willie strated a thing called outlaw country and they made the first ever platinum album in country music history so todays singers are nothing but puppets or if you would sheeple they make their own music to sell shirts and posters to 15 year old little girls damn prevents that's why I will never lesson to any modern music that and it's crap
Apparently you weren't around during the era of the "Nashville Sound," when record companies had a stranglehold on the industry, which is why Willie, Waylon and Tompall Glaser, among others left Nashville because of lack of support form record companies and producers. Back then, if a singer didn't toe the line, he didn't work. It has come back around to being that way again, but with the advent of online music sales, artists do have a degree of control over what they choose to do. The industry still has control over radio, for the most part, but with Sirius XM and Spotify, they don't have as much control as before.
If the Pop Country hacks today had any ethics, they'd pay royalties to the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Fleetwood Mac for every note they've played for the last fifteen years.
Jason wood They do call it country, and it is bad rock and roll. I'm hearing more guitar and less pedal steel. Too many notes per measure, like someone who talks too much, and doesn't say anything. Country has fewer notes and more emotion, because it has fewer notes per measure, their placement is more important. As Johnny Cash would say "A lot of it has to do with how you hold your tongue." Iron American Dream on CZcams.
"I think Mr Hank Williams would roll over in his grave/// If he ever heard what was coming from them Nashville slaves/// Today's country music seems to have lost it's soul/// To me it sounds like watered down rock and roll/// I guess I just can't help it/// It's a part of who I am/// I'm a SON OF A SON of a West Virginia coal mining' man...West Virginia coal mining' man"----Part of a song I wrote called "SON OF A SON"
No Character the "new players" I don't want to call it country, follow orders from all their producers, rec executives, publicity managers and so on and it produces dry talent. Thanks for the post of real people in the act of entertaining.
YOU CAN CALL IT ROCK-A-BILLY, BUT THE COUNTRY MUSICIANS DON'T LIKE THAT TERM BECAUSE IT HAS ROCK AND ROLL IN IT. SO WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DID LINK WRAY PLAY ? HE WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO STARTED OUT IN SWING COUNTRY AND PROGRESSED TO ROCK-A-BILLY AND THEN ROCK AND ROLL……………JUST THE REVERSE BECAUSE SOME OF THE COUNTRY PLAYERS WANTED TO PLAY ROCK AN ROLL BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE ROOTS OF ROCK AND ROLL……JERRY LEE LEWIS AND ELVIS WERE ALSO A COUPLE OF THOSE WHO HAD THIS. KINDA SPECIAL CALLING.
New country is so bland, generic, nothing new or original. The CMAS were so bad. I miss the truly talented. Classic Country all the way. Past 2000s it's not even worth talking about.
I can not stand country radio I only listen to music that is not stupid. Words are very important in a song the bridge the placement and phrasing it all has a formula that New Country uses same guitar licks big fat backbeat boring no heart no soul no adventure just a formula . Anyone that listens to this should try listening to some good ole country like Hank or Willie or John Prine Flat & Schrugs not sure about the spelling of the names but I am sure about the nice things they do for my ears.
Checkout Guy Clark "The Dark" or Billy Joe Shaver "Window Rock" or Jerry Jeff Walker's "Leavin' Texas" or Gary P Nunn "The Reggae Armadillo".... Happy Listening!
Who killed country music.mafia.criminals took over . music row.why the greed for the all mighty dirty dollar.look at how many they killed.singers and players.that killed their selves.
What happened was that Nashville chases a sound, especially when it doesn't do well on the Hot 100. First it chased rock sounds which created the likes of Garth Brooke was quickly one of the biggest "country" artists of the time and now it's hip hop which is where bro country comes from. Now that country music is back at the bottom of the Hot 100, the labels will have to find a new sound.
You could say the same about the blues, without the pyrotechnical aspect. It's just shitty rock with guitar solos, seeing as guitar solos in rock went out of style.
Listen to Beth Hart for blues. Yes, she has worked with Slash, but she has made some impressive modern blues such as Baddest Blues, Caught Out In The Rain, Tell Her You Belong To Me, Immortal, Am I The One, Mama, Monkeyback, Love Is A Lie, As Good As It Gets, Swing My Thing Back Around and Mama This One's For You. She has also written some impressive country songs such as Delicious Surprise, Broken and Ugly and House of Sin. The problem with the charts is that labels tend to spend money chasing a sound that is making money. They are no longer into experimentation. Frank Zappa explained that years ago and the video is on CZcams.
Country music haa always been bad. Now its no different from hip hop. Youre either drinking and dancing in the club or drinking and dancing on a tailgate... No diiference in content or quality.
No matter if it's country or bad rock and roll it was gooood❤❤❤❤
Garth Brooks if definitely bad rock and roll... Rip Sammy and son and Glen as well 🙏.
That last bunny story had me in tears.
There is still good country out there. You just have to look beyond the crap they play on the radio. Look at what they now classify as "outlaw" country or "Alternative" country. Lots of talented young (and old) players and writers out there!

Yeah, as a Tele player myself, that Tele guy has it going on, no doubt!!
Not sure who he was/is.
🤔🤔🤔
Love the friendship
The guy on the Tele was FANTASTIC ! I don’t know why he wasn’t featured. Better than the lot of them .
Session boy's never get any credit.
Hope Jason aldean is listening this song is for u and Blake Shelton I could name few others but I'd be here all day
This song is even more relevant today.
Todays CMA....
"Country My Ass:
ameripolitan my dude. Dale Watson and Kim Lenz are KILLING IT!
This song is a direct shot at Garth lol, and I love it!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
You are correct, Hank Jr did a song called Arthur's song it was a direct shot at Garth
Kinky Friedman calls Garth the AntiHank.
Preach it to the choir boys!!!
i like this song. . .cool to see everyone on the stage
I have been in music for years, now artists have to record what the music industry tell them and lf that don't the industry won't market it .
Tell that to Travis Tritt and Allen Jackson they record their own music at their own studio in their house and before them Waylon and Willie strated a thing called outlaw country and they made the first ever platinum album in country music history so todays singers are nothing but puppets or if you would sheeple they make their own music to sell shirts and posters to 15 year old little girls damn prevents that's why I will never lesson to any modern music that and it's crap

that is a veritable who's who of country music on that stage.
And we all thought it was bad in 1999. Sheeeze, little did we know it would get worse !
you'd like to know my son (23) has Johnny Cash/Marty Robbins/Roger Miller(Pendalem Swings) down loaded.
@@theoakhills Very nice!
R Byrd, the good times are definitely over for good. I'm going to sit back and watch the world become one big Chicago...sad
So funny yet so true.Heres one written about the AntiHank,Garth Brooks.
That's Willie in black cap front row on left laughing his ass off.
it willie is
Red headed stranger to u pal
Also Waylon.
Where Theres a Willie, Theres a Waylon!
Larry Cordle had it right, there's been a "Murder On Music Row".
Great album.
The only thing left of country today is blue grass.
So fun to watch and hear their stories.
If the Pop Country hacks today had any ethics, they'd pay royalties to the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Fleetwood Mac for every note they've played for the last fifteen years.
Do you happen to have the clip of Roy Clark and Chet Atkins playing Alabama Jubilee on this same special?
If that guy budged a fuckin' smile, it'd bust his whole face apart. Must be a blast at parties.
That's is Son's Schick you genius.
Lol good old days
this was one old show did you see the line up there ! Sadly most of them are gone now RIP
Anyone know if this complete show is available anywhere? Thanks for uploading this.

What a fine
Rock and roll in a cowboy hat........sad
The closing licks are actually taken from a Sly and the Family Stone song, I Want To Take You Higher!
It's actually the ending lick on Iron Butterfly's
" Inna Godda Divida"
I believe it was actually taken from the intro to "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the old Oak Tree"
yep
That was fun and cool ... what are all the haters about ????
What is this show called ????? :)))))
If you don’t pay the stations a million they won’t play your records no matter who you are and DJs have no control.
Their both clearly talented but guy with glasses is a little bit better than the other one. RIP Brothas
If they only knew now................................................
Who was that GREAT guitar player on the Telecaster ? Besides that great backup band, it WAS bad rock and roll. :-)
I think Kieth Richards got it right when he said rap was invented so that tone deaf people could make records!
nah, it was invented to glamourize drug trade in low income neighborhoods.
nah rap is a natural extension of the beat/hipster culture of the 50s-60s
keith!
I agree. It totally has cultural relevance whether you like it or not.
Hey, 'Tone Deaf Records'. It kinda has a ring to it. You might be on to something.
All brock is bad rock.

When you type in all CAPS in social media, it is considered yelling. Just so you know. And it is very hard to read a whole paragraph like that.
WOW, this song is so very true. You can call a rabbit a raccoon, but that don''t make it so. Music Row is now full of liars!
1 dislike must either be Garth or Johnny Carson.Aint it fun being from Texas!
You mean Jimmy Carlson....

Pop country has always been bad. Traditional country is now called Americana and or Bluegrass.
Barf Brooks and Reba Macintyre ruined country in the 80s.
@@ic2ofu agree about barf brooks. I'm convinced he sold his soul to the devil for a career.
@@ic2ofu There are many more people you can blame. Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, too many to name
I quit it in 1981. Still listen to the classics and a few artists that are keeping it real.

Let the truth be known. Check out the last CMA show.
Arkansas Red. No thanks dont waste my time on it....sickening!.
packingten that show was not country,not watch cma again
Johnny just didn't recognize the humor, can't figure that....
well he didn't know he messed their name
Now it has moved onto very horrible rap.
That's because current pop rap is horrible rap.
is there another kind of rap?
Chaz and dave lol

I want today's artists to do such gathering
The hip hop artists would shoot each other and the rock artists would die of overdoses.

Remembering how horrible 'new country' was at this time can be summed up in two words. CHRIS GAINES. lmao what the hell was Garth thinking!?
Garth claims that it was a movie promotion gone wrong. I believe the movie exists, but it was never released. That kind of thing did happen.
Garth was about MONEY. Listen to Hank Jr Arthur's song, it's about Garth Brooks stealing song's
Who killed country music.mafia.criminals took over . music row.why the greed for the all mighty dirty dollar.look at how many they killed.singers and players.that killed their selves.
