    Country music is over 100 years old, so it's not surprising the genre has evolved and spawned subgenres, and influenced other genres. Even Elvis moved between Country, Blues & Gospel as well as Rock 'n Roll.

    I posted a song by this guy, and in this interview he talks about his country influences ..

    The spirit of Country music is everywhere in all kinds of music, which is a good thing.

    But Folk and Country are sister genres :)

    If this thread has proved one thing, it's that genres are BS and it's the reason why I mostly ignore them, especially at the subgenre level :wink:

    They aren't really. Sure, all music has some historical lineage and if you go far enough back it's all derived from people banging drums in Africa, but you wouldn't listen to something like Euan MacColl's Bonny Shoals of Herring and say "Oh yes, this is somehow similar to Hank Williams' Your Cheatin' Heart' even though both have roots in the English/Scottish folk tradition.

    You wanna ignore genres and subgenres -- that's fine. Post your suggestions in the 'What are you listening to lately' thread. If you're posting something in a thread devoted to Country music, it kinda suggests you believe that a record is country. And bands like America and Crosby Stills and Nash really didn't produce anything at all in that genre. And I'm not saying it's impossible for rock bands to make decent country songs. Check out things like The Byrds, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, or Elvis Costello's Almost Blue -- two of the records that got me interested in a genre that I'd long dismissed as being music for old, dull-witted morons for most of my life.

    One of the great murder songs ever written by one great songwriter.


    If you don't cry when you listen to this Chris Stapleton song you might not be human.


    One of all time favorite songs, Grace Has A Gun. Katie has pipes.

    Humans have a fascination with sticking labels on everything, which is kind of weird if you ask me, so I avoid that trap by paying attention to influences, not genres. The way that music moves forward is through artists being influenced by other musicians they like, which is a process that is independent of genres.

    Put a lap steel guitar on top of a pile of Sunday morning pancakes and it is instantly transformed into Grandma's Country Home Griddle Cakes. It's a well known phenomenon.

    I swear, if you hadn't posted it this would have been my next post.

    As for murder ballads, hard to beat the Louvin Brothers again...:



    Derived from an Elizabethan Murder Ballad, The Bloody Miller, the Carter Family did a version too:

    Colter Wall's Kate McCannon is super fine.


    Another of my favs (non-murder) is Sunday Morning Coming Down, another Cash tune written by Kris Kristofferson.


    Janis did country with another Kristofferson with the help of Fred Foster , Me And My Bobby McGee.

    Who'd a thought members at this site where into country? I grew up listening to the genre as my father was from Appalachia, but as a kid much preferred listening to the current offerings on WABC AM radio in NYC where I heard The Doors, The Beatles etc. It's funny that one summer driving to West Virginia from NYC to visit relatives I popped into the 8-track Neil Young's After The Gold rush and my dad turned his head to me riding shotgun and said, "He sings like a girl", immediately popped it back out and slammed in Live From Folsom Prison. It was pointless to argue.

    It was sometime in the late 80's (I was born in '59) that I couldn't stop listening to Hank Williams and his incredible catalogue. Although I'm not really into right now, I appreciate the great studio musicians and recording ethic of people in Nashville and Memphis.
