Nihil Obstat Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 That didn't resemble country music in any way. I'm from a heavily country music-oriented part of Kansas. This is country music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmHNfWRw-qg Your definition of country is way too narrow. Although that is a fantastic song.

PhuturePriest Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Your definition of country is way too narrow. Although that is a fantastic song. That's traditional country in its purest form right there. That other song was pop country, which is no more country than pop rock is rock.

That other song was pop country, which is no more country than pop rock is rock. I strongly disagree with the bolded. Alison Krauss does bluegrass primarily, which is a particular offshoot from traditional country, which has its own traditional and pop forms. Alison Krauss' collaboration with Robert Plant, which won many awards, is best categorized as Americana and folk rock, both of which are legitimate forms of country and bluegrass in their own right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTmWiGYIQjg Edited March 11, 2013 by Nihil Obstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangetholic Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 If you're going to be a purist regarding country then basically you're left with only blue grass. Johnny Cash sounds like a black blues singer, not a "pure" country artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 And this is country music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uy2BcJ6l9g And this (you can skip the ad after 5 seconds or so): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PBWNzctt4Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Cash sounds like a black blues singer, not a "pure" country artist. Plus Johnny Cash should really not be considered without delving into the American Recordings, which are the most eclectic (and frankly genius) mix of country from a single artist that one can ever find. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aF9AJm0RFc Edited March 11, 2013 by Nihil Obstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangetholic Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 :x :wall: I know. I actually wroote a paper about how that song more than anything else normalized contraception among Southern Protestants. Although you might be comforted to know that there is a slow but sure movement in Protestantism away from contraception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
