Country Music: Tunes of the South

One of the most famous country singers today is Garth Brooks. He is literally a living legend. His songs are true and strong. He has had many great hits such as The Thunder Rolls and The American Honky-tonk Bar Association. Another country star legend would be The Charlie Daniels Gang. Their hits include Devil Went Down to Georgia

. . .
These sounds are much more appealing than the thumping of the sub as the “want-to-be-gangsters” drives down the street with the blaring of the strata-casters of the 80’s rock group “wannabes”. To me there is just nothing like the rhythm of a country band as they play the folk music of the south and strum the history of the west. Others write about traumatizing experiences such as The Charlie Daniels Gang’s song, Still in Saigon.

The stories that country music artists talk about in their songs are moving works of art. I do not think that country music will ever die out for the fact that it not just music, but a way of life. The music tells a story and even evokes the feeling that the singer has lived through the events described. It is amazing that it has survived over the years. I do not see the pleasure of being deaf for a week after listening to the music. Most of the song writers write stories about romance and heart ache. There is so much that has been contributed by so few to the modern day country music style. When I listen to that song it sends chills down my spine.

Most of all I feel that there is nothing like the picking of a banjo and the plucking of a fiddle as the rest of the band drives on with the continuous melody and smooth harmony of the string bass and acoustic guitar. They have also had dedication albums recorded by other artists to show their appreciation for the contributions that they had made to the country music world. Both of these Country music big shots have had outstanding careers with many awards and nominations as proof.
