Yes, Miranda Lambert, she is as country with country roots as anybody mentioned here..especially more than Ray Price..who was more a pop singer than country..take a listen to Kerosene or White Liar, certainly more talented than Hank Jr too..certainly more country twang than as Emmy-Lou Harris.

it's better to start at the beginning and work your way forward, doncha think? it gets very confusing otherwise...and some of these songs will start to sound really silly or something...or something....
I would start with country-rock. Byrds. Flying Burrito Brothers. Poco. Then I would work my way backwards from there into real country music. If you start off by listening to something from the 1920s or 1930s, it's too much of a culture shock. Same with blues. I would listen to 1950s Muddy Waters before trying to get into Robert Johnson.
I think Tatters is right on this, I didn't start with Robert Johnson or Willy Dixon first, I started with The Stones, Animals and Them and then I try to figure out where this music came from (although I didn't know this music had roots in '67), so if you want to know what country is start with the popular things from the radio and work your way back to the roots.
you people cheat. cheat, cheat, never beat....or something.

You shoulda just disagreed without trying to explain.You really showed your ignorance there. Bet you even listen to Zac Brown.... by the way, Ray Price did have a career before the slick downed 70s...

???? What is so ignorant about my comment??? Someone is ignorant because they don't listen to Zac Brown?? Why does that make someone ignorant?? I know Ray Price from the '60s ... And to me, he always sounded more pop.

Hank Jr can't sing for sh&t. He sings stupid@ss songs..I don't think he very talented... Name a good country song by Hank Williams Jr.. Please don't say Rowsdy Friends or Hog Wild are really good songs....

Well, all his Dad did was strum a guitar and sing, and he was the greatest country singer of all time. Who cares how many instrument Hank JR plays. There is nothing special about these songs you posted, they are very mediocre, Hank Jrs voice is okay, but his choice of music is distasteful..he wants to be a bad@ss outlaw so bad, but just can't do it right. Now... George Jones does it right. Anyway...Miranda has a true, twangy, quality country sound and voice in the tradition of Tammy, Loretta, and Kitty Wells, and June Carter and her daughter Carlene IMHO.

You are right, when you really think about it...without hearing "Love in Vain" by the Stones, you would probably never of heard of Robert Johnson, let alone go back and listen to this incredible talent...,unless you were truly a blues enthusiast in the first place.

Exactly. No one here started out listening to Leadbelly, and then worked their way forward chronologically to the Rolling Stones. We started with the Stones, then became curious about the records they listened to. Stones Tod may tell you he started out with Leadbelly, but he is a pathological liar .... or something.

I just love Carlene Carter's quote - "I put the c unt in country!"
!! I believe her parents were in the audience when that was said!

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a marvelous album back in '71 called Will The Circle Be Unbroken, which has them playing with some of the old-timers.
As for Parsons: Well, I'm a fan of his, but other artists did that genre so much better: Nesmith, Gene Clark, The Dillards, Rick Nelson, and others. Parsons has been canonized way too much. And I'm a fan of his music, so no letters, please.

Now, having all your really precious information and suggestions, I think I'm going to start at the beginning and work my way forward, contrary to what I did with the blues. This means I will first check out the 'Johnsons' 'Ma Raineys' and 'Leadbellys' of country music. Before doing that, I have to somehow organize your suggestions and comments.

The kids around here love Miranda.
She rips off Steve Earle but she's a hair better looking so we don't care that much.
What's the big deal?
