If Waylon were still with us he’d kick the ass of nearly everyone in Nashville

"You're saying country musicians didn't always support wars of imperialism? Huh?"

Rural noun, simple adjective

Warm night, cold beer, blue jeans, red pick-up

No shirt, no shoes, ~~no jews~~ you didn't hear that

That fucking amazing! 😮🤣 Gotta love Letterkenny 🥰

I was actually quoting Bo Burnham's equally hilarious Country Song though 😁

Both of these types existed in the past and still exist today.

Conway Twitty?

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

He says knock it off, just write a damn joke!

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Pat Finnerty on YouTube does a great series called What Makes This Song Stink. It's definitely not for everyone, as he doesn't give a shit about YouTube algorithms and keeping videos to an ideal length. But has a recent hour long video on Jason Aldean's Try That in a Small Town. The video (Pat Finnerty's not Jason Aldean's) is phenomenal.

Beato

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This video is great, thanks for sharing, subscribed.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, they're worth going back and watching all of them from episode 1. He's got a lot of jokes that he builds up across episodes.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

He hooked me so hard by showing how Ohio would sound over it, I wanted to laugh but I was also flabbergasted and so just noise and head shaking and disbelief is what I mustered.

But yea, I'll go back and watch the old ones. Thanks.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Pat Finnerty is a treasure. His podcast is also pretty funny if you haven't checked it out. But every day a new video from him drops is a good day.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Another video you (and @FunderPants@lemmy.ca, @Grayox@lemmy.ml, @Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world) might enjoy is Chill Goblin's take on "Oliver Anthony, Welfare, and Blair Mountain". Oliver Anthony is the artist who did "Rich Men North of Richmond" and it's a really great breakdown with historical contexts from the mining union wars to the Reagan Era of "Welfare Queens".

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out later today.
Todd in the Shadows also did a great breakdown of this song

I still think the devil won that fiddle contest.

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

As long as jonny accepted that battle the devil won. Greed and all that

Tennesse ernie ford anyone?

Marty robbins?

Get me the classic good shit

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

I despise modern country music and generally consider outlaw country and anything not Nashville Establishment to be the real shit.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

🎶 With a big iron on his hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip 🎶

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I like Billy Strings, he's the exception, phenomenal guitar work with some true outlaw country lyrics.

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm convinced that if someone wrote a classic country banger, like a certified banger. Country "fans" would hate it and everyone else would love it.

[–] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I mean they seemed to like Toby Keith, he's even done a song with Willie Nelson.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You still have great country music like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TLnUJzueBOQ

Good bot!

[–] Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I recently discovered the band Ween and the song Japanese Cowboy is so pleasing to hear.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

12 golden country greats is such a good album.

[–] griD@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

Goodnight Travis County, there will be no encore. Woo!
