FF:SA anyone listen to country music

australian country music. not american. just wondering. I like some american country including Keith Urban.

if you do, how does it differ from american country music.

 

Most country music = IMO.

Music styles that have titles such as:

Don't Give Me A Plastic Saddle 'Cuz I Want To Feel That Leather When I Ride,

I Was Looking Back to See If You Were Looking Back to See If I Was Looking Back to See if You Were Looking Back at Me

and ... Get Off The Stove, Grandma, You're Too Old To Ride The Range

... aren't doing themselves any favours

 

Beez.... Keith Urban is an Australian

Try -
Gina Jefferies
Adam Brand
Lee Kernaghan
Becky Cole
Kasey Chambers

Personally... not my cuppa.

 

What about Slim Dusty? Dont forget ol' Slim!

BTW Yes I listen to some Australian country music, cant stand American country music though, just not the same I guess

 

I listen to anything, but country sounds just a bit suss sometimes, like Toddi said, but I like some of the aussie stuff as long as its not too angsty

 

if its good i like it

 

Good is a point of view Anakin...

 

I tend to like one or two isolated songs when they catch my ear ... example: "Raining On The Rock" by John Williamson and Warren Williams. Very random, but a song I have always liked. The same with some of Paul Kelly's hillbilly stuff.

Living in the country probably hasn't helped me

 

Yeah same here... Growing up listening to country radio and with a dad who is obsessed with Slim Dusty, it was bound to happen.

 

What about 'My Old Man's A Dustman" by that guy who sings it? Great song. But... not really country....

SLIM DUSTY! Slim is the greatest of all Aussie country singers.... my favourite is "Light on the Hill"
