Been listening to a mix of Outlaw/80's country for the last two hours and i'm curious as to what other peeps on this board like. First off, If you don't like Country, GTFO of this thread. Secondly, I'm interested in anyone's opinion on any Genre of country even though I personally think the genre has plummeted the past ten years or so.
My all-time favorite song would have to be "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" by Keith Whitley. A close second would be "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" by the BITB Waylon Jennings. I'm a huge fan of just about any Waylon song though.
Let's hear some opinions!

:thumbs:, I'm a big fan of Josh Abbott. I actually knew Roger Creager and Trent Willmon before Abbott. When I saw they were collaborating on this song I knew it would be a good one!

The title is "You Look So Good In Love", great song nonetheless.

What makes certain country "outlaw" country?
Also, Not a big fan of the genere, but I do enjoy some Garth when it's on. I don't go seeking it out, though.
Also, it can be pretty great when some drunk middle aged guy gets on stage and belts out Family Tradition under the right circumstances.

I think of Outlaw music as country musicians that were fighting against Nashville and the type of music Nashville was putting out in the 70s.
-
I find it entertaining when some one mentions a certain singer then follows with "That's real country music, right there". Do singers that fall outside that statement qualify as "outlaw"?
Is there a country equivalent to Sug Knight in country? Is that the "outlaw" set? I am assuming this is Randy Travis :dunno:
-
driving past salina yesterday, i stopped on 101.7, the classic country station. This song was on, and it sucked me in...so good.

There's something about some of these old songs. Hard to explain.

There is a lot of sentiment that most of today's country music is really just pop music with a twang. So, when someone says "that's real country music" they're implying it sounds like older country music or it is older country music.

This describes it well. Also Waylon and Willie had run ins with the law for drug possession.

Diamond Rio - Meet in the middle
Gets me amped every time. :Woot:
-
Some classics me and my buddies get riled up on when they come up on the jukebox. John Deere Green, Delta Dawn, Tight Fittin Jeans, Country Roads.
Most are due to dumbass drinking stories that included the song so they bring back hilarious mems.

Sing Me Back Home - Merle Haggard
Bartender's Blues - George Jones
-
Shoulda Been a Cowboy...pretty much anything by Toby Keith, really.
Also, Whiskey Lullaby. Being sad never made me so happy.
-
Sangria Wine - Jerry Jeff Walker
-
Poncho and Lefty
Man in Black (it's the liberal in me)
-
Poncho and Lefty
The original by Townes van Zandt? Or the Willie & Merle version?
-
"I Don't Know Why They Say Grown Men Don't Cry" and "Standing Outside The Fire"
-
Shotgun Willie, I've Always Been Crazy, Red Bandanna, Jesus was a Capricorn, Dakota, L.A. Freeway, He Stopped Loving Her Today, Rake and Ramblin' Man, Yellow Moon, The Ride, She Used to Love Me A Lot. Just to name a few.

I really enjoyed Toby Keith during his Greatest hits 1 era (Should've Been a Cowboy, Dream Walkin', Wish I Didn't Know Now, and Who's That Man). Most of the songs he's put out in the 2000's have been terrible though.

Damnit Mh, this isn't a Top Ten list!! I will admit it is very hard to narrow it down to one. Honestly my top pick is mostly because I have a lot of good memories of Grandpa playing it on guitar growing up. Which helped "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" separate itself from the rest of the pack.
-
Asking me to pick one song is like asking a generation X'er to date one person.

Has nothing to do with family, but "Driving My Life Away" has got to be one of the best trucker songs out there!! :driving:

Definite tear-jerker. I'd have to say my favorite 90's videos would be the Old Western themed Brooks & Dunn videos. My Maria, Lost and Found, and South of Santa Fe were a few of them.

The last clear memory I have from the only REK show I've been to is screaming along to that song, shortly there after I began to time travel. Walking Cane is probably one of the cooler songs I've ever seen preformed live. Love Robert Earl Keen, and I love when Cody does the special verse in Boys from Oklahoma about smoking pot with him.

I don't think this is correct, Kid Rock did a shitty cover of "Telephone Romeo" by Boland that he called "Purple Sky". I think that's what you mean. "Purple Rain" is a Prince song.

REK has so many good tunes it's hard to narrow it down but it's a tossup between "Corpus Christi Bay" and "Gringo Honeymoon" for me. crap, "Copenhagen" and "Swervin In My Lane" are pretty great too.
