Has anyone heard the Garth Brooks' cover of DIXIE CHICKEN (originally by Little Feat)?



What are your opinions on the brilliant genre known as modern country, please discuss and share your favorite examples.

NO CHRIS GAINES ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD



quote:

Chris Gaines was a one-off fictional rock persona created as a movie character for Garth Brooks to explore musical styles far removed from his success as a country singer.

Initially, Brooks planned to feature the Gaines persona in The Lamb, a motion picture that never materialized. In 1999, Brooks released one album as Gaines; the album produced two charting Billboard singles, including the Top 5 pop hit "Lost in You".

NO HATING on modern country allowed, a genre far superior to rap, metal, classic rock, and classical

Hello Commandos
it's now just soft rock to me, like what that stuff used to be.
i hate this poo poo, I do a load of work for a country venue and it's the most god awful poo poo, it's so formulaic it's insane, and it's either overly earnest love songs about gently caress all or comedy bullshit about being bummed in a truck or something.

well my horse done ate all my barley and grains
my cow done barfed up my dog's remains
my pickup truck done called it quits
my comcast is all on the fritz

but these troubles don't deserve no mind
better days are ours to find
and i know how to unwind

cause i'm a country boy
yessir i'm a country boy
now i got to hit the road
gonna go wank my choad
groan and explode while i watch some young stud gently caress my wife and shoot his load
then we'll all lick some toads while on the commode
cause i'm a country boy

why are their voices all exactly the same? Like I get that it's a genre but it's fuckin weird, metallica and megadeth are similar but there are differences, it's like they cloned some DNA or something with this poo poo, it's uncanny

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

There's some good country music, but the pop country music generally boils down to:

"I'm taking my girl out in my truck"

"DRINKIN' A BEER"

"America means never having to say you're sorry"

this modern stuff is all trash yeah

there's a lot of good classic country though about being depressed as gently caress/a fuckup/horny/all the above

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?

I love how they all have hilariously American names.

I don't recall seeing too many John Pensikowskis ever. I'm sure there are some not laughably generic names but I haven't seen any.

Let's look at the names on this page:

Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines
Billy Ray Cyrus
Sturgill Simpson
Kenny Chesney
Joe Nichols
Alan Jackson
Brad Paisely
Kenny Rogers
Blake Shelton
George Strait
Tre Burt*
Sierra Ferrell*
Charlie Crockett
James Hand

That's a whole lotta single (not in terms of relationship) white men. Pop country doesn't have many band names. Just single white dudes. You have Dolly (excellent) and Reba of course but those are very much the exceptions.
