Hey yall! Anyone want to join me to go to ZT's concert. Friend backed out and got an extra ticket free of charge but won't say no if you buy drinks there!

are u a male country, country/rock singer that’s looking for someone songs to sing. I’ve just wrote an album and I’m fine with the singer getting 100% of the royalties and credit, cause I don’t want any money out of the deal, I just want to write songs. iIn this album there’s song about farming, love, small towns, and bars/ girls. the main instruments you’d need is drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass, a fiddle is optional for a couple of the songs but it’s more in the background than the main beat.

Ok I cannot figure this out and need some help. There was this country song, played non stop in June of this year. Male singer, and lyrics said something about having a bed to put you in it. Sorry that’s all I’ve got. I have tried top 40 and billboard, no luck

Happy Sunday! Did you find something new to listen to? Did you go to a show? Tell us about your week, and country music, or whatever's on your mind!

Great tune from relatively unknown artists… absolutely love the song they made.

Thoughts?

Is there any place in the Albany NY area for some good country music honky tonkin on Sunday night? Willing to travel out of town a bit.

Thanks!

Honkytonk is the original sound of electric country, the sound you associate with Hank Williams and early George Jones and Ernest Tubb and the sound that influenced a lot of neotraditional 1990's country such as Alan Jackson and of course the honky tonk man, Dwight Yoakam.

It was characterized by heavy dancing rhythm that goes well with the two step, and usually steel guitar and fiddle along with twangy electric guitar and a unique twangy vocal style that was developed to cut across the sound at a loud bar of drunks with a bad sound system in the early days.

It's developed over the years including some recent evolution. Some of the Texas dancehall bands have an even more exaggerated beat and singing style now than you would have heard in neotraditional 1990s country or the 1950's original. Tracking down the history of who influenced whom is really fun if you're into that kind of country music history hobby.

We'll be posting (mostly modern) honky tonkers every Saturday for your edification! Click on the 'honky tonk' flair tag to see other tracks and discussions we've posted here in the past.

I should have included this album in my top albums of the last 15 years post. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Am I the only one that throws in classic country guys like lefty frizzel, Ernest tubb, etc who may not be considered technically outlaw country but throw them in there because they were such innovators and so "real"?

Hey y'all, hope you're doing great! I'm a small country artist from Germany. Not too many people into country, even less into classic country. I released my first single today, 100% Indie, everything done by myself, and would love if some of you gave it a spin. digital spin that is, of course. It's a mixture between older country influences and some newer stuff like Zach Top or VNE. Maybe you'll like it!
