No.  Come on you're better than this.

K-Rock is not really the standard to which good music is held so that statement is irrelevant.

I know Pat was in Seattle a few years back, but he may have scaled back. And Reckless Kelly was formed in Portland, but moved to Austin, so I don't know if they ever get back out there. Divide just got back together about a year and a half ago and have a limited schedule now around OK, KS, TX.

Ragweed used to do a couple of shows a year in California if I'm not mistaken. I don't think Cody Canada's new band does, though.

The Departed's "This Is Indian Land" is an interesting album. Kinda all over the place, IMO.

wtf is red dirt music you bumpkins?

Well like remember what country used to be before it got all pop with crap like "she wears short skirts I wear sneakers she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers?"  There was a divergence.  The stuff you hear on the radio is mostly Nashville country pop.  Red dirt is an attempt to stay true to Texas country.  It's kinda like a country attempt and way cool indy music except they do sign to smaller labels.  They pay live in smaller venues a lot.

I would say that Nashville is the most "produced" and pop-influenced version of country these days. Red-dirt and Texas country tend to be less produced and show stronger non-pop influences in composition and instrumentation, such as folk (Damn Quails), rock (Ragweed, Reckless Kelly), or Western swing (Boland). You can hear all those influences in various songs by Pat Green...started out more swing and folk influenced, with a little rock influence that grew stronger, then changed to a more pop-rock influenced sound when he got his "Nashville" record deal.

very good tune, though. it pretty much falls into the only category of "country" I generally like, which is white tucks playing folk blues. for some reason no one has mentioned the deep roots of blues in this type of music. think its strange to see the following country music has and their general disinterest in giving credit to people like Lead Belly.

I think most casual followers of most popular genres of music don't give much thought to the origins of and influences behind the genre.

i guess what makes the refrain so strange is the obvious racial conflicts it presents. don't really see too much of that anywhere else.

Would guess that most people that follow country music have never heard of Lead Belly

Blues were adopted into rock pretty early. So contemporary artists who are influenced by "rock" are, also, influenced by blues, but you have to track back a ways to find that. Perhaps folks in the 50s or 60s or 70s weren't crediting blues origins and weren't doing so for racial reasons, I don't know. I think lack of credit today, among those who even bother to think about influences, has to do more with the time that's elapsed since blues were first adopted into rock. It's ignorance of the earlier influences on rock.

I dunno. I may not be fully understanding your point, I guess.

I think you are more or less right. People generally do not care. My point is that racial tension has more to do with country music fans ignorance of the origins, whether willful or indoctrinated, as opposed to a fan of rocks ignorance of blues music.

Most people learned all they know about Chuck Berry from Back to the Future. But Elvis is another story. And it's completely racial.

no disagreement there. but country music didn't have a Jimi Hendrix or (way further down the line) Bad Brains...

Does Charlie Pride not count? I don't think I understand your point, either.

Red dirt country isn't as far from Nashville country as red dirt artists and fans would like to believe. There are extremes on each side, but the fundamental difference is recording budgets.

Well it's not like Big N Rich or crap like that.  Also sorta think even Jason Aldean sucks....oh big rough ridin' whoop you turned your tractor around again...probably never farmed an acre in his life.

Like I said, there's extremes on both sides. when Jason Aldean isn't rapping, he's fine and would probably fit in OK in the red dirt scene with slightly different arrangements and production.

I would say that Nashville is the most "produced" and pop-influenced version of country these days. Red-dirt and Texas country tend to be less produced and show stronger non-pop influences in composition and instrumentation, such as folk (Damn Quails), rock (Ragweed, Reckless Kelly), or Western swing (Boland). You can hear all those influences in various songs by Pat Green...started out more swing and folk influenced, with a little rock influence that grew stronger, then changed to a more pop-rock influenced sound when he got his "Nashville" record deal.

I would agree with that. But I think it's a really fine line. I mean Ragweed was always using subjects and melodies tailor-made for country radio, and like you mentioned, Pat Green didn't really require a huge stylistic leap to Nashville.

I guess the whole "eff nashville" attitude really bugs me when the "genres" are just so rough ridin' close.

The Departed's "This Is Indian Land" is an interesting album. Kinda all over the place, IMO.


Yes, it is. That's what happens when you do an album consisting entirely of covers.

I was at there fifth show ever. Was kinda weird, they had "Taxi" playing the entire time behind them on a projector screen. The set finished exactly as the credits began to roll. I couldn't focus I kept switching back and forth between watching Deniro being crazy, Cody chugging red wine from a bottle and chain smoking and watching Seth James rock out.

would it be better or worse if he had?

Better, on account of sounding less contrived.

Slipknot is light years better than any mainstream rock band you'll hear on KRock these days. You're all a bunch of vaginas
