Would Loudon Wainrights III "Dead skunk" be considered coutry today? Huh,huh, think about it. I always wondered if Buffalo Springfields "for what its worth" would come out in a psuedo-country attempt.
Telos....I guess you and I have the sense of humor and certain kind of sophistication understood by no one. Check out the "Dublin blues". By Guy Clark sometime. or souvenirs-john prine or for that matter "Jesus...the missing years". prine
I have a really good story about the lead singer Mike Eli after a show at longhorns a couple years back with his "biggest fan" out front when I was changing the signs.
I aways thought it was interesting what was considered "real country" over the years. I like the "delta blues" and I think part of country came from there.Hank Williams senior was considered a renegade and was kicked off the grand ole opera. Now he's considered real country. Johnny Cash was a wild man of rapper type status and now he is considered "real country. It is always revolving I think.jmo. I think a song by Lynard Skynard like curtis lowe could almost fall into the country side.
