I have been a fan of country music for a long long time.
That's because you're an old fart.
I have been a fan of country music for a long long time.
What can I say. I listen to the Byrds, Glen Campbell, Gene Clark, Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, The Eagles, Mike Nesmith & The First Nation Band, The Lovin' Spoonful. The thing all those guys have in common is they have done a bit of Country Rock.
Though I don't mind a bit of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tom T Hall, Kenny Rogers, Slim Dusty & John Denver even though Denver once said that he felt he was more Western rather than Country, if you ask me, I think his roots are more folk based (which is probably what he was getting at), because he was with the Chad Mitchell Trio before going Solo. "Leaving on a Jet Plane" which Denver wrote was a big hit for Peter, Paul & Mary before he went solo, though also performed the song himself.
Add The Band, Emmylou Harris, Rick Nelson, Poco, Tanya Tucker, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Pure Prairie League to the above lists and that about covers it for me.
