What I learned about music on the Vision Quest...
Best thing to happen to country music in decades imho. It actually sounds like real country music.

And Steve Earl was still kicking ass in the 90s at the peak of the New Country boom.

There is a lot of great country being recorded and performed live these days, but you have a do your homework and know where to look. It won't be the folks topping the Billboard county charts...this is the province of feegs like country legend, Clay Helton. And that's the difference between now and country's 1970s outlaw glory days when Waylon and Willie song tuff songs and ruled the airwaves.

Always loved me some Steve Earl. I grew up in Texas and one of my Dads constantly had real country on. The sound of my youth at deer leases, in the truck and whatnot was Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard, the Man in Black, Waylon and Willie, George Jones, Bob Wills, Hank and Freddie Fender. Bled into David Allan Coe and George Straight. That's real country. Sung by non pretty boys about real shit. Hard life. Blues and country should not be sung by bubble gum pop faggots. The whole point to the music is that it is inspired by a hard life. New country is for total faggots. Country stars should look like this:YellowSnow said:There is a lot of great country being recorded and performed live these days, but you have a do your homework and know where to look.

Here, here. The country brackets (32 artists most likely) will, hopefully, launch sometime after DNC's Hip Hop tourney and before the Auburn debacle. To keep things fair, I will have to include some new country feegs like Garth, but I'm sure Old Country artists will cruise to the Final 4.Swaye said:

#1 seeds most likely would look like Hank Sr, Merle, Waylon and Johnny Cash. -
That's some 1 seeds to be proud of. I'd also throw in Dwight Yoakum toward the newer end of the spectrum. Other than that, fuck almost everything from 1992-2018. You could do some fun shit there too, like Ricky Scaggs and whatnot. Can't wait to see it. Metal NIT will be a wrap soon, and then @dnc and the rap game drops. Country legends pole after that. Sweet. Offseason, the best season.YellowSnow said:

That's pretty much the barometer for me for any music. Authenticity. It's why I can love punk, country, rap, metal, etc.Swaye said:

Inevitably the genre becomes popular on the back of authentic artists and then the marketing departments start trying to sell a knock off product that has all of the aesthetics but will never have any of the underlying artistic authenticity. That's part of why I hate Glam metal, late 80's "rock", pop country, lots of 2000's punk, etc.
