Mike Love is an idiot (but I love him).

Great choices, Alan. Ramblin' Man is bonechilling.

Knutz, Merle is the man. I Take Pride In What I Am? Fightin' Side Of Me? I'm A Lonesome Fugitive? Mama Tried? The guy was the hitmeister. And making incredible quality music all the way.

Indeed, great post Christ.

Post in peace, my son, and be holy.  You'd do well to follow the B.A.M.ful example of young Heroes and Villains.

I didn't know country was big in Australia.  Is it just me or is Australia to England what our south is to the north?  I've never been to England or Australia, of course.

As for the Beach Boys, I think they just liked the music.  Al was a big folk fan, right, and he liked Leadbelly?  I'm sure he was into some country.

Well, the 'country' we're exposed to here is mostly simply abhorent...  For every Slim Dusty (good country died in australia along with him, god rest his soul) there's the godawful dreck of a Kasey Chambers...

What is B.A.M.ful?  Lousy Heroes and Villains, always stealin' the spotlight. 

I think apparently Australia is like a little America for you to call your own.

Haha, I just realised I spelt Chris  - Christ.

Just stay away from anything called country these days, apart from the Dixies and Dwight Yoakum. get into Wilco and Uncle Tupelo. Good bridge to get into the country thang. Patty Griffin too.

B.A.M. was Heroes' anti-masturbation thing.  I hope I haven't insulted him by constantly referring to it.

And I hope so.

Ian -- modern country (or "country") -- you hate all Frank Black or do you like some of the country stuff?  I really like some of those songs, like "California Bound," "Chip Away Boy," "Whispering Weeds," etc.  Flame on.

I haven't heard enough Frank Black. The early solo-career TMBG thing turned me off. What album should I get?

Turn on your standard Clear Channel country station. 99.5% of the time, it's not Country, it's Pop with a steel guitar.

Merle Haggard amazes me. A few years ago, I checked out a 4CD set from the public library and was suprised that I knew nearly everything on the first 2 discs. I didn't add them all up and I forgot how many hits that guy had. Amazing.

Yeah, Merle Haggard is great!

Somebody in the Beach Boys must've appreciated him also. Remember when they used to perform "Okee From Muskogee" in the early 1970's...

If you want stuff that's not like the early albums, check out Dog in the Sand (more Stones-style country -- check out "Hermaphroditos") and Black Letter Days (this has the songs I listed).  The new one, Honeycomb, has some big Nashville session players (you'd probably know more about them than me), but I still don't have it.  It might be up your alley, though.

There's a song Willie Nelson did on "Later with Jools" - She Is Gone...

I hope that's country, that's just beautiful that.

I like the "classic" country from the late forties through the mid sixties.  Below are some of my favorite artists and samples of their songs.

Bobby Bare (Margies At The Linclon Park Inn
Patsy Cline (Crazy)
Hank Williams (So Lonesome I Could Cry)
Lefty Frizzell (If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time)
Ernest Tubb (Waltz Across Texas)
George Jones with Melba Mongomery (Lets Invite Them Over Again)

EARLY Waylon Jennings
 And of course
 Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and the early Rockabilly sars like Carl Perkins and Wanda Jackson.

I like the country flavored Byrds/ Burritos stuff with and without GP

And I liked a lot of the mid 80's traditional revival stuff.  Randy Travis Storms of Life was particularly good as was the early Alan Jackson, and the mid 80's George Strait.

I didn't care for the Mandrell/Gatlin dominated era nor do I care for todays so called country music.

Both you guys should go get Honeycomb now...tis Excellent!
