Outlaw Country

[Tripps]

Country music was never my thing, I mean, I can appreciate a lot of the old timers, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, etc, but I find modern pop country aweful and unlistenable, pretty much the same as any of the current "pop" music. But I discovered a sub-genre that I love. Tyler Childs, Colter Wall, Turnpike Troubadours to name a few. My daughter sent me the first one, the second one is pretty funny, I think. Both by Ray Wylie Hubbard

I was strictly a rock guy til disco came along, I started looking for a new home and found Willie & Waylon, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jerry Jeff Walker, Hank Jr. Etc.. I’m pretty much like you on the new country. But there are a few exceptions, this is one, and I’m not even sure it fits the genre.

Broken Window Serenade is one of my favorites

[Mad Dog]

A couple of pretty flowers
Is what I brought I to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
You had signs of depression
From a long line of sin
And your face tells a story
Bout the places you have been
I love you so,
I thought you should know
And that muddy waters flowin
As you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler
Through your daddy's land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change your world
Cuz I ain't got no money
You'll never be my girl no no
I thought you should know
You was gonna be a singer
Or be a movie star
But you cant catch no breaks baby
And Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the Time Out
Off 155
And you're dancing for your dollar
Just tryin' to stay alive
It hurts me so
I thought you should know
You feed your addiction
With your crystal meth
And I plea for your life
as it takes you to your death
You make your deal with the devil
As your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin' through the tears
As you slowly slipped away
I watched you go
I thought you should know
Yeah I watched you go
I thought you should know
That cold rain is pourin'
As they lay you in a grave
I can barely recognize you
In your fragile state
No more signs of depression
From a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower
As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
I thought you should know
Yeah it was a rose
I thought you should know
A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view

Know the above song well, sent it to my daughter in memory of my niece, her best friend, until she got into the pills and heroin, overdosed and died a year ago. My daughter felt tremendous guilt because she disowned her after she got into the hard drugs, when she kicked in the door and robbed my house that was the last straw. 😭

Another excellent one.

All the bands you guys mentioned are in my playlist, Clint and I have discussed before. I have to figure out if there's a setting to show previews of YouTube videos.

Did you guys hear Steve Earle's son just died?

[Tripps]

Matt King, the guy that kinda started it all for me. Definitely the best meth song I've heard.

[Tripps]

Been there done that, on an Indian reservation. Woke up laying on the center line of the road, someone beeping their horn, thank God the sun came up before anyone drove down that road.

Any idea what you did to get your links to show the previews? Mine don't, but they did automatically on the .net site.

Never mind, figured it out, use the attach video option, instead of just pasting
