coleb13 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 i always wondered why the "& Western" got dropped from "Country & Western". Growing up in the northeast US, the only western music I knew were the recordings by Hollywood singing cowboys (Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, etc.) that I found in my parents' record collection. Fun stuff, and I don't know anyone who listens to it today. For example: https://archive.org/details/78_im-a-cow-poke-pokin-along_gene-autry-autry_gbia0010192b and https://archive.org/details/78_thereil-never-be-another-pecos-bill_roy-rogers-and-the-sons-of-the-pioneers-john_gbia0005655b Iving 1 Link to comment

Popular Post Richard Dale Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2018 Good choice! Hank Williams is one of my musical heroes and I think anyone who wants to find out what country music is about should give his music a listen. I like to think I've got every track he ever recorded both on released discs and all his various radio recordings, and there is not a dud amongst and i even love his 'Luke the Drifter' recordings. I had a 'spooky HiFi moment' the other week when I was listening to my new APPJ PA1502A tube headphone amp driving my Audeze LCD-3s and that system was so good that when Hank was doing an announcement of a live recording all the clicks and pops were relegated to the background and his voice just sounded 'right there' with me. I don't think HiFi systems are always about reproducing well recorded music as well as possible, they really work when they can extract the musical essence out of historical recordings. Another one of my country music favourites in Eddie Noack, and I love this track 'Think of Her Now': christopher3393, 89reksal and Iving 3 System (i): Stack Audio Link > Denafrips Iris 12th/Ares 12th-1; Gyrodec/SME V/Hana SL/EAT E-Glo Petit/Magnum Dynalab FT101A) > PrimaLuna Evo 100 amp > Klipsch RP-600M/REL T5x subs System (ii): Allo USB Signature > Bel Canto uLink+AQVOX psu > Chord Hugo > APPJ EL34 > Tandy LX5/REL Tzero v3 subs System (iii) KEF LS50W/KEF R400b subs System (iv) Technics 1210GR > Leak 230 > Tannoy Cheviot Link to comment

Daccord Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 In the early 80s I was a smartass kid working in the oil patch in North Dakota and Montana. One day on a job I wondered aloud why it was that no matter where you went you could always manage to tune in a radio station playing country music. An older fellow on the crew, Whitey (that was really his name), said well, I guess it's because that's what people like. Tough to argue with that. And now I like (some of) it too. christopher3393 1 Link to comment
