Modern Stadium Pop Country Music isn’t Real Country Music. It’s trash. Now that my opinion is out of the way, today’s theme is country music. Choose and share whatever country music you’d listen to while out for a drive....Even if it’s modern stadium country.

I’ve got three songs to share, only one is original. My first song is the Django Unchained version of Jim Croce’s “I Got A Name”. The fuzziness in the background gives it a more “old-school” vibe than the clearer and cleaner original.

The second, John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads” is a tough one. The original has a timeless quality and soul. Fallout 76's version is just a great rendition with the background instrumental, so I choose that one.

The other is just too fun. Charlie Daniels’ “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”

What will you listen to??

I remember when this song came out in 1999. The first time I saw it was in the airmen’s club at Scott AFB as a kid with my parents . I was drinking a coke and this music video came on the nearby TV. That said, it still sounds better same most of the pop-country I hear when I search for radio stations.

Pops introduced me to this classic song and it’s still good.

Starred for a) sweet Corvair! and b) Jim Croce.  The other songs are good, too, but I spent a lot of time as a child listening to Jim Croce with my dad.  Great stuff.

I have been digging old heavy hands lately.

Whitey Morgan & The 78's are great. The is a cover but it’s so good!

Lucero is mostly country

Charley Crockett is killer as well.

I usually have one of their CD’s in rotation in my car.

This isn’t really my area of expertise, but John Prine is a pretty great old dude:

This is an obvious one, but Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails fucking rules:

Lucero has a lot of good songs . Here’s one:

Rhett Miller / Old 97's are good:

Uncle Tupelo (aka Wilco before Wilco), “ No Depression”

Southern Country Rock Ok?

The last one may not even be country rock, but it has country in the name, and when I was young I was easily confused.

I was pretty indifferent to Glenn Campbell when I was growing up and he was making his hits like this, but it sure sounds good now.
