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

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.

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 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.

This video is great, thanks for sharing, subscribed.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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 8 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.

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 8 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

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Thank you for the recommendations, I'll give it a listen.

I still think the devil won that fiddle contest.

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 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 8 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 8 months ago

🎶 With a big iron on his hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip 🎶

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

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

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 5 points 8 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

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

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

12 golden country greats is such a good album.

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