An observation of HNC Dec 99
Posted: 30 Dec 1999 6:19 pm
It's mid 1996 and I have been online almost a year. One of my country music contacts lead me to knowing the group Lonestar. At the time I was impressed with the likes of IT WAS JUST THE TEQUILA TALKING and NO NEWS. When we communicated ti was the old mantra "yes we will keep it country." The 2nd album came out in 1997 and the biggest single was a pop cover "YOU WALKED IN." I bought the album but it's back of the pack compared to the Hardcore
Country-Americana-Country Classic I have been hoarding. Now 1999 has brought this group a song of the year for AMAZED. So I'm reading the newsgroup and notice BMG has remixed "AMAZED" for POP/top 40 radio. Guys
can't you be satisfied with being country? If not don't pander by changing vocal qualities and remixing to remove Steel Gutairs and Fiddles
On a related note I have been helping some folks in the Steel Gutair forum compose a sight with soundclips and tabs for pedal steel intros and breaks.
As I went thru some HNC CD's circa the early 90's I was hard pressed to find anything worthy of our project. So I'm talking to Ricky Davis and he said forget about music past 1975. Sadly with few exception's I have to agree. Thanks
to my buddy's in Texas and guys the likes of Alan Jackson who understand my
tastes and help me find a more classic definition of Country Music.
My goal for 2000(y2k permitting) is to keep on giving and taking knowledge from resources that understand this definition. Radio etc. will never push me into the 90% most common denominator bracket.
