It has evolved into pop singers like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift. There are a lot of guys doing things in the vein of the Eagles and other soft rockers from the 70s and 80s. Then you have guys like Colt Ford who have a hip hop sound, rapping songs about waving the flag and celebrating rural living instead of killing cops and abusing women like the original rappers. We saw Colt Ford this evening at a free open air concert in Bonita along with a couple local bands and a "Voice" runner up (Rae Lynn). The interesting thing is all of my old 60s Motown dance moves still work with his music. The beat seems to be very similar. One thing about country is there does seem to be a lot of music in their music. It has changed from the old "twang and trains and hill billy thing" (Trace Adkins line). Wow. Songs about waving the flag and rural living...just wow. I don't listen to rap, either.  And you don't partake in waving the flag or rural living, right? -- Nope. It's semi-rural around here, of course, but not the real rural boonbocks. And no, I'm not one of those racists who waves the flag and hates many of the ethnic or racial groups that live in this country. Maryland wasn't really the country when I lived there and it got more gentrified in the intervening 33 years. Even St Marys county, about as rural as it gets is still starting to look like a suburb of DC. The exception might be in the core of the Eastern shore, back away from either coast but that is s skinny chunk of real estate. Harry may not even understand what I am talking about, being a Connecticut yankee who spent a little time in a Kansas college town. |
