What country singers used to sound like?
Wow. Jim Reeves Patsy Kline Willie Nelson Emmylou Harris Mickey Gilly Crystal Gayle Tammy Wynette Johnny Cash Just a few of my favs off the top of my head, there have actually been a great many country singers who could really sing, Willie sounds a little rough the past 8-10 years but he used to sing pretty well, evil weed demon and age got to him. I am someone who grew up listening to several who really could not sing for sh!t, Bob Dillon for one or Tom Petty for example But I actually feel some should stick to song writing or playing an instrument cause they just can't sing a lick Part of what I don't like about 90% of the past decades music is they just can't sing. The average band of the sixties and seventies for example had lead singers who could really sing, take Gary Pucket and the Union Gap as a prime example. Jay black and the Americans. Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge. I have come to appreciate more the really good voices to listen to, there are a lot of them out there, new and old.

I like country, rock, and some metal and prefer the classics or the old farts in all three. I've kinda gotten into Jamie Johnson for more of a retro classic country sound. Don't really care for Hank 3, but agree with his idea behind Put the *ick Back in Dixie.
Ya'll give these a listen, Jamie Johnson, Can't Cash my Checks--Reminds me of a few people I know. http://youtu.be/o9mhs9mD7dc Luke Bryan, Muckalee Creek Water--Describes a few on this board I believe. http://youtu.be/_h-_X3-j5os Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, Poncho and Lefty http://youtu.be/JxzJAF1BxP4 Tom Petty, Trip to Pirate's Cove--A cool newer one from Petty you'll never hear on the BS Radio http://youtu.be/LDStHQLSQWQ Iron Maiden, The Longest Day (Expand for Lyrics)--About some of those from the greatest generation that gave the ultimate sacrifice. http://youtu.be/BSJ8rDlBZ_IJethro Jethro Tull, Part of the Machine http://youtu.be/F5iQ69z1uSM The Highwaymen http://youtu.be/uw1bHaUk1CM
