I'm shook. BONUS ANALYSIS: Reba's "Fancy" is about the mom turning out the daughter to become a high class hooker. And the track that follows "Born This Way" on the album is "Government Hooker." I mean ---- wow. SHOOK. And Gaga also made a country version of BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
artRaver 3,188 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I was just about to complain and say why didn't you add Johnny Cash, but I seen Ring of Fire. On topic: I like old country like the ones you listed above and Charley Pride, but the new bro-country.. I can't get into. It's funny when ever people assume I hate country just because I'm black but my grandparents are from Waco, Texas so of course I grew up on nothing but gospel, country, soul/funk and some jazz. ✿ cherry blossom girl ✿ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,283 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I agree that most do this fan base doesn't know the roots of country that make it such a rich history piece of music. Dolly and Johnny will forever be iconic. However, I don't think Joanne is going to be even slightly country IMO. A small amount of grass root influence for sure, but not country. Even the producers mentioned how the album isn't really country, Just some influence associated with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your use of the genre and others are differnet. If you say "Oh, I love pop music" No one is going to assume you're talking about the 70's and 80's pop hits. New-age country, or basiclly the **** variation of country, has ruined the word, so when people say "I don't like country" they aren't talking about the music in the OP, or even some great decades past work: Purr more, hiss less.
