Joe Diffie is on tour right now, and starts a run of shows in Branson next week.
Mark Chesnut is on tour right now and had a song in the top 40 and album on the charts about 8 months ago. Didn't you buy it? Did you call up your local radio station and request songs off that album?
And Chesnut "Heard It In A Love Song"(did you buy that one?) has been nominated for album of the year for the European CMA.
Patty Loveless starts her tour next week (her first in 3 years) and has a new album, called "Sleepless Nights", coming out in about 12 days. It's ALL classic ('50s & '60s) Country songs, with many of the old "A" team pickers on it.
Here are the songs on it:
1. WHY BABY WHY
2. THE PAIN OF LOVING YOU
3. HE THINKS I STILL CARE
4. SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
5. CRAZY ARMS
6. THERE STANDS THE GLASS
7. THAT’S ALL IT TOOK
8. COLOR OF THE BLUES
9. I FORGOT MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW
10. NEXT IN LINE
11. DON’T LET ME CROSS OVER
12. PLEASE HELP ME I’M FALLING
13. THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING
14. COLD COLD HEART
Pam Tillis is on tour right now also, and put out a great album about a year ago called "Rhinestoned". Didn't you buy that one or call up your local radio station and ask them to play it?
Lorrie Morgan is also on tour right now and has just recorded an album of "Country Classics" that will be out in about 4 or 5 months.
Mark Wills is also currently on tour, and in the past year, has had two songs make it into the top 50(OK one, "Days of Thunder", just made it to 50) Did you buy those or request them at your local radio station?
So how many shows by these artist have you been to this year? How many of their Cd's, shirts, and hats did you buy? How often do you call radio station and ask for their songs? How many times do you go to CMT.com and vote for their videos?
Their ALL on tour right now(Patty Loveless starts next week) and most have new albums and singles out right now, or coming out soon.
The artist can only do so much. They record and tour, then it's up to the fans to buy the albums and go to the shows.

Well, if all of "todays country music sucks", then what does that say about your own CDs? Should we assume from your words that they suck too?
People here are trying to talk about some current country music that doesn't "suck", is that a problem?
Nothing personal of course... |

Mr. Wooley, no one is suggesting Merle Haggard is not the "best". You're apparently a brand new (non steel playing?) forumite so maybe you don't know how many hundreds of positive threads there have been about Merle here.
Some "friendly" advice: I just listened to some of your music at your website, and I really think you might want to think twice before insulting Mark Chesnutt, Patty Loveless and other current country artists who have made really good new albums.
If anyone else is curious, here's the link, and if you happen to like "country" CDs with NO steel guitar but lots of drum machines and other BIAB sounding stuff then you can buy them here and support a forumite.

Pete, I don't know how long you listened to Cleat--I got through about 15 seconds of that pseudo-Elvis vocalizing, over a 1985 model Casio keyboard. And apparantly, there ain't enough reverb in the world to help--It's all on there, and it don't help  .
And you can't help but notice the little blurb for "Eifert Records," in the top right corner, can you.
Ol' Leo's been yankin' some serious chain, looks like he went and got his self Some help, Dont IT?? |

| Okay to all! If this was a perfect world we would all have nothing to say. Can't we all get alone? I(Leo) keep trying to tell you old dogs to help the young dogs understand what brotherhood is all about,but,I guess I'm wrong in my education of the Music- Musicians Business of Industry. Is a Forum confidential? Sincerely in healing happiness,Leo J.Eiffert,Jr. |

| You got to admit the music is different. Not my cup of tea and I can see how several musicians didn't get to go to the grocery store on those cuts. Oh well the Casio probably got new batteries. I don't understand this thing. I thought this was a steel guitar forum meaning that steel guitars and players would be the topics. There has got to be another forum somewhere that allows that kind of music and discussion. Maybe there is a Casio site. Please don't take offense but the stuff does nothing for me. I clicked on the topic thinking I could defend L.J. but I don't see it happening. There is not only any steel but that sampled stuff is what sort of started to put country music in the toilet to begin with. |

Thanks Pete! 
I want to add too, the artists mentioned are still being heard on the radio and touring as mentioned. And they do not Suck.......
Be sure to buy Lee Ann Womacks lastest CD too! We must support these artist as much as we can. Sells and calling radio stations can make a difference. |

Cleat - just what part are we misunderstanding? When you say we should just go back and listen to Merle and Conway (as I do all the time) and other 70s-80s music, and also insist that "today's country music sucks!!", that is painting with a pretty broad brush. Personally, I don't think that all of "today's country music" sucks and I can think of plenty of stuff that was passed off in the 70s and 80s as country music that was purely dreadful - to my tastes. No matter what times we live in, there's always good music - and also bad.

I dunno, man - I just see people responding to what is written. Seems to me that when one writes off a whole group of musicians and their music as "they suck", one should not be remotely surprised at some strong rebuttals. Remember that some of the people on this forum make some of the music that is being referred to here.

Actually, this is the "Music" forum of the steel guitar forum. Its description is "Musical topics not directly related to steel guitar". Nor does it specify that we should restrict our discussion to steel-guitar-oriented, country, or any other particular type of music.
As much as I love traditional country music, I do not fundamentally view the steel guitar as a country-only instrument. It's simply a musical instrument.
I think Greg Simmons summed these discussions up perfectly last year in this new streamlined Steel Guitar Forum format:

Hey, Cleat, I am NOT trying to start something, please don't think I am---But I'd SERIOUSLY consider editing, and maybe re-wording, what you wrote here.  |

| Dave I am not dyed in the wool country at all. But why must we be a sounding post for a bunch of sampled dribble. I still say that sampled music is what started this trend years back with the DX-7 keyboard and the electronic drum computers. For about ten years country music had that DX sound and that snotty-nosed-out-of-phase Strat sound. Steel and fiddle took a backseat to electronic sounds. I am sorry but I for one started turning off my radio when that stuff came on. So why would I want to hear it now? By the way my musical tastes run from Clapton to Stevie Ray, to Ray Charles, to Haggard, to Jones, and of course Waylon. I have a pretty open mind about what I listen too just to mention a few. So that being said I am no longer involved in this thread so count me out and fight amongst yourselves. I have better things to do. |

Craig - I'm not fighting. I was simply responding to your comment that seemed - to me - to state that anything not about steel guitars and players doesn't belong in the "Music" section of this forum. I made no assumptions about what kind of music you like.

We don't have to be - we can respond, or not, to anything we want. I just don't see why it's any skin off anybody's nose if a group of members wants to talk about sampled music, keyboards, marimbas, jazz, or hip-hop if they are so inclined.

It sounds like your tastes are similar to mine - I'm far from a big fan of DX7's and sampled stuff. But as far as that "snotty-nosed-out-of-phase Strat sound", it seems to me that Clapton and SRV were two of its most important champions over the years. Not to mention two of my favorite guitarists - Albert Lee and Mark Knopfler. Personally, I like it in some things, and not in others. It doesn't bother me at all if someone else sees it completely differently, but I don't see why it's "snotty-nosed".
This is a general point, not directed at anybody in particular. We all like and dislike certain things - no problem. But when we start hurling insults about them, it should be no surprise that people react. Please tell me how someone that plays modern country music can interpret a constant drone of comments like "Today's country music sucks" and "snotty-noised" as anything but pointed insults. That was and is my main point.
In a written word medium like this forum, the words we choose to use matter. Sometimes music says it better. One of my favorites is Tony Joe White, and one of my favorite songs by him is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEYK0F_g_mU
As always, my opinions, YMMV, and all that. |
