You have been disqualified from any further questionnaires. ;DOK OK I guess Momma I'm Coming Home could be considered country-ish
I may be from the South, but I have never been a big C&W fan except for Randy Travis. I am more a Metal/Rock guy. Rock and Roll really works out well if you play it during combat. Yes, I did play it at a low volume over my vehicle intercom system, there is a way to splice a headphone cable and jack an MP3/Walkman into the system.
I was fan of country more in the early- and mid-90s, around the time I guess it became popular on a larger scale. It was during Garth Brooks' heyday….I also liked Alan Jackson, and perhaps particular songs by the Kentucky Headhunters, I think Brooks & Dunn, maybe Vince Gill. Going to college in Texas also may have added to my like of the music.
That's about when I began to like it too..mid-late 90s. I was never really a fan of the old school country people like my dad was, although my parents took me to a bluegrass festival in Vermont when I was a kid and I really liked it. I like Garth, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, that era and later because that's when I started learning guitar too. C&W began going pop/top 40 around then too, but some of these newer people like Brad Paisley and Lady A are bringing it back to authentic country.Kentucky Headhunters. Did you ever hear their song Feed Jake? I'll go OT like scout did. Currently I am addicted to Led Zeppelin's Rain Song. The acoustic guitar in it is beautiful and I've been trying to learn it this past month. O2 Arena, here I come!

It is the Spring time of my loving, the second season I am to know.You are the sunlight in my growing, so little warmth I felt before.It isn't hard to feel me glowing. I watched the fire that grew so low.It is the Summer of my smiles, flee from me keepers of the gloom.Speak to me only with your eyes, it is to you I give this tune.It isn't hard to recognize. These things are clear to all from time to time.I felt the coldness of my Winter, I thought that it would never go.I cursed the gloom that set upon us, But I know, I love you so. And I know, I love you so.These are the seasons of emotion, and like the wind they rise and fall.This is a wonder of devotion. I see the torch we all must hold, and people this is the mystery of the quotient...Upon us all, a little rain must fall...just just just a little rain.
Upon us all, a little rain must fall...just just just a little rain.
I like that third verseWhen I go camping in a couple of weeks, I wonder if they'll throw things at me if I sing it as high as he does? 😮 Hope they bought earplugs.
Listen to the Song Remains The Same version:[html][youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na_7O9J0tHY&hl=en_US&fs=1%5D%5B/html%5D
I like the studio recording better, but this is good too. The guitar part seems more difficult on this one.
“This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltzVoices sound sad as they're singing along another piece of America's lostHe rides a feed lot and clerks in a market on weekends selling tobacco and beerHis dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fencesBut he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't hereHe blazed the trail with Lewis and ClarkAnd eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed downHe stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in TexasAnd rode with the Seventh when Custer went downThis is the last cowboy song...Remington showed us how he looked on canvasAnd Louie L'Amore has told us his taleAnd Willie and Waylon and me sing about himAnd wish to God we could have ridden his trailThe Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete nowAnd they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigsThey blow by his market never slowing to reasonLike living and dying was all he didThis is the last cowboy song...This is the last cowboy song...This is the last cowboy song..." 😉
