Brother TAE, I get it that some people
think that country music isn't their cup, or they're unfamiliar with the genre. Truth be known we've all been listening to country music since birth. I'm not talking about a lot of the bullshit these days on country radio, so called "Bro Country", but country music, people music. Be that as it may, there ain't but two kinds of music, good music and bad music.
Stapleton I haven't kept track of, I know he had a hit with Tennessee Whiskey. Sang the hell of it, and youtube is chocked full of folks attempting their own rendition. Other than those earlier solo performances just him and acoustic, fair or not, i'm not interested. That non tear jerker I posted, The Right Ones, it isn't quite the sardonic (pink floyd) Have a Cigar, but the lyrics in context are about the struggles between a songwriter/artist and the money men record executives. We should all be so cursed/lucky?
Put me on a chain
You put me in a box
You put me in a cage
And you start throwin' rocks.
I offer up my heart
I offer up my soul
You wanted me to dance
I just wanna rock n roll....
Nobody cares if the the words don't rhyme, if you say the right ones
Was supposed to be seeing a show tonight...is that a redundancy, seeing a show? Anyway. Blackberry Smoke show tonight was cancelled...or rescheduled, hopefully. These boys can rock, but they
can still sing all the sad song that I know(multiple guess music reference). Who am I to prattle on, click and stay tuned for the drumber Brit to expound.
Is this "country music"? Dobedo, acoustic version you might appreciate what the keys player brings to the party which might otherwise be drowned out by dicks with picks.
