"Part hippy, a little redneck, I'm always the suspect." Keven Fowler
I don't mean to be scaring decent folks like you and me, a proper country song will tear
your heart out and hang it from the chandeliers in the union hall. Those few experts who
dispute the originality of modern, cross over country will stand up and tell ya Chris Cornell
of Audioslave writes better country songs than the masses of washed out, glossed over
wanna- a -be's who pretend to be something they might not be for the sake of a label.
I plead the fifth, because I Iike it all.
Outlaw country, what the heck is it? Truthfully, pure outlaw country at it's finest, many of the
song titles I can't post on-line and still come across as respectable. What we have here today
are some of the ones you can play for your mama if your mama is barefoot and open minded.
And I hope she is cause if she aint you gettin' a whoopin'.
Look up Elizabeth Cook on Youtube for hardcore she country, one hundred percent honest lyrics
and funny too and Miranda Lambert fits this category as well.
Outlaw country, before you say this aint your daddy's country, Johnny Cash anyone?
I'm not closing a lot of doors on this one. It would hardly be hardcore country if we put up too
many fences. So, let the cows graze and the coyotes howl.
And nobody says, Love You like Jack Ingram. To best define outlaw country give it a listen.
