Country & Western

This forum is supposed to be about music but it doesn't seem to have much range. I'm heavily into Country & Western but can't find any mention of it elsewhere.

I'm a member of the Cambridge Coyotes and we meet once a week at the Catholic Church Parish Hall in Union Road, Cambridge to listen to the best in C&W whilst practicing both square and line dancing.

Surely there must be some other real music lovers out there

Nah, sorry, I don't like either Country or Western music...*

Unless of course The Legendary Stardust Cowboy counts...?

Yummy Fur

* My apologies to all John Landis fans for ripping that off....

Probably better going to the US forums, gonna be more CW fans there.

btw, real music is classical.

There aren't any country and western threads because no-one has started any. Start one and find out if there are any other fans out there, billy.

BTW, real is whatever you like

'Smells like troll spirit' to me, get real Billy and post something positive.

ah country music... the music of pain! as Xander Harris puts it. C&W is the music of the devil.

My name is a Gordon Fraser and I am a Country and Western fan...

It all started in early 90's when Sky had the CMT channel on analogue. Oh how I loved Reba's BIG hair...it was BIG music. Bigger than Metal anyday. To this day I bet Reba McIntire could kick Jon Bon Jovi's ass in a BIG hair competition!

Actually I do like country. I have plenty of country records. Johnny Cash is GOD. His daughters are pretty great as well....and Rodney Crowell....too many to list....

Billy Bob thanks for cheering me up this morning!

Gordon you are starting to remind me of Buck, the hi-fi dealer from Boogie Nights who puts customers off by demo-ing C&W music!!

EDIT: Actually saying that Johnny Cash is fantastic, could you recommend a concert or live album (good quality recording) of his Gordon?

As well as practicing square and line dancing, is there anything else thats practiced there, or do they leave that til after the club finishes?

I am a huge C&W fan. Watch the CMA's every year without fail. Some of my favourites are. George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and Mindy McCreedy. I must admit that I am more of a New Country fan than the older Blue Grass sounding music.

Yeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwww partners.

I'm not a fan of traditional Country and Western but there is a wave of music classed as 'Alt Country' which is great.

Maybe some of you traditional fans should check out The Handsome Family

Dixie Chicks HDCD discs sound fab (via a HDCD decoder), much better than modern music - on the recording quality.

Not bad album.

Nothing wrong with C&W Music, Dolly Parton is great. Some of Shania Twains (hottie! ) tracks are C&W based.

Anyone in the Cambridge area who fancies a get together and some country music, the contact details for the Cambridge Coyotes is available here and I would love to see some of you good ole boys there anytime.

Billy Ray Cyrus is the only C&W artist I can take seriously. The others are all too 'fake' with those accents and their clothing etc.
