Country Music Is Dope

Regarding Loretta Lynn''s "The Pill" - it may not be Catholic theology, but it IS Country Music, which is properly defined (someone else's definition, but I support it 100%) as "Three chords and the TRUTH!" It's plain folks, talkin' about real life, honestly, set to music.

 

Personally, I think Country Music needs a little help from the Order of Preachers (their motto being Veritas = TRUTH), but we're starting to see an increasing Catholic population in traditional country music strongholds, so there is hope yet!

I've always liked Dwight Yoakam. I can remember my parents playing his music in the car when I was younger.

To go along with "Copperhead Road" up there, here's another Steve Earle song.

That was easier than I thought. Thanks for the tip!

PIcking up on the Dwight Yoakam "Turn It On," here's Tom T. Hall's "Turn It ON, Turn It On, Turn It On." He recorded it 30 or 35 years ago, and the story' set even farther back than that. I'm not real fond of the pictures, but...

And then this one's just for fun... and to show that Tom T. can write a song about ANYthing!

The closest I get to country music:

I was out of town when you posted this, or I would have responded earlier... 

 

The Rolling Stones are not country. They've played around with country music some (the way a little boy plays round with his father's tools), but they've never achieved it. They don't have the honesty or the soul to ever be country. "Honky Tonk Woman" is not country music. It's not even close to country music. You can't use that title and 'country music' in the same sentence. 

 

Son, I think we might have to reinstate the Spanish Inquisition on you.
