crunchee Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Kinda interesting, kinda entertaining, kinda horrifying, but IMO better than watching a video that deconstructs 10 Bro Country songs on a computer: I still prefer this lesson in writing the 'Perfect Country Song', though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hip hop beats in country... That's just twangy hip hop. I expected the harmony to be fifths. Harmonized vocals are overdone on everything in country today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbie Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The Ken Burns Country music documentary on PBS changed my perception of country music quite a bit. I don't like modern country music any more now, but I understand it differently. In my view country music is not in the actual music so much but the people that listen to it, the radio stations that play it, and where it is mostly produced, Nashville. My band Famous Volcanoes has a pedal steel featured predominantly. We have an alter ego string band with banjo and mandolin. Yet I doubt your average country music listener would consider us country music. When you twang out in Minneapolis its called Americana music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRpSaX76yVo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where's the accordion? BTW, I'd bet Deke Dickerson knows where those Mosrites are at nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did say that, it would have been an accurate assessment of '90s country, not the current state of the genre. 2014+ country sounds more like a mash up of Nickelback and hip hop with exaggerated southern accents and templated lyrics.

My son and his musician friends call it Bro Country. I wonder what Kinky Friedman would have to say about modern country music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if Petty said that, but in 2015-2016 he DID say “modern country is bad rock with fiddles.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
