Johnny Cash isnt country.
Hes whats termed "Outlaw".

Could you recommended some of them?


Like gritty sad country? or drinking songs? Real country..not washed out mainstream country? Or, faster stuff like psychobilly?

I think what he was refering to was the Outlaw genre.
Its not really country,, today its also called Red Dirt or Texas Music.
Its turning into its own thing.

Yeah Laama,, check out some Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.
If you really want something cool,, Check out a band from back in 1985 called The Highwaymen ( Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Chris Chistopherson).
 They had a song that made me almost cry called,, incidentaly,, The Highwayman.
 Kid Rock is in thier ranks now since he did Rock And Roll Jesus.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

I got this song called "broken " in my head by Hillbilly Vegas ( check them out on Myspace Laama).
 Everytime I hear it, it reminds me of girlfreinds past.
Theyre an awsome band.

Hey Laama,, check out some Big and Rich.( Save a Horse,Ride A Cowboy).
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

That much info put together is tripping me up. Texas music is too broad to be inclusive, Red Dirt is super specific almost to the point of being a clique.. and there's not anything coles to Outlaw music.

We just need to start a country thread.. and later this weekend when I have time I'll migrate this conversation over to it. I won't post more until we get a whole thread going...

For just today.. I was thinking Laama might like Gary Stewart. He committed suicide a few years ago. And he wrote some clever, but sad drinking songs. I'll put a link to his Wiki page. And two of my favorite songs by him.

Gary Stewart

And both these bands still currently tour, and are both fun to see in person -

Dale Watson



Reverend Horton Heat


For straight out listening you can't ever beat George Jones
