Members Khan Posted December 22, 2020 Members Share Posted December 22, 2020 I really miss that era of country music. The music was so pure, and purely felt. And it seemed like the record companies valued genuine talent and musicianship over sex appeal and everything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 22, 2020 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2020 I agree. I feel like the ‘90s eras of Garth and Shania really shifted things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 23, 2020 Members Share Posted December 23, 2020 Country music used to go through periods of 'selling out' and then going back to pure country. The Urban Cowboy phase and slick country pop artists like Kenny Rogers, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton (who at this time was in her peak Hollywood era) led to a return to a more approachable sound thanks to Oslin, the early Judds, kd lang, etc. Sadly, sometime after the likes of Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, and Faith Hill took over, they never really went back to having a purer phase, even as many of those artists have aged out. These days, country music is so soulless, so full of watered-down dudebros singing about big trucks and tiny asses on a knockoff hip-pop beat, it makes Carrie Underwood look like Kitty Wells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 24, 2020 Members Share Posted December 24, 2020 Agree. The fact that people in the media and elsewhere have begun referring to it as "NashVegas" rather than Nashville says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 27, 2020 Members Share Posted December 27, 2020 Michael Alig and Ernie Glam had a Youtube channel for several years. It was never not unsettling to see them trying to be 'normal,' which just wasn't going to happen. The only thing I can say beyond that is if you haven't yet, check out Nelson Sullivan's wonderful '80s NYC videos, which feature Alig, among others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
