I generally do not care for the more commercialized country acts but there are a number of musical acts that fall under the Country label that are sensational. As mentioned above, Chris Stapleton , who I consider a Soul/ R&B guy is an Incredible singer and songwriter. Jason Isbell is very talented. One of my favorite new artists is Billy Strings who is labeled as “Bluegrass” All of these acts will play their own material and often cover rock songs in their own way when they tour. The amount of quality musicians in the Nashville area today is ridiculous.Relax. It was funny. I gave it a listen, and I LOL'd. My brother is a musician (as was my father), and he spent years in Nashville pursuing writing and recording deals. I'm generally not a fan of country music, but there are some pretty good artists out there. I just laugh at cliches. Same for metal songs.
From the earlier referenced CMT awards (which I did not watch), Gary Clark Jr doing a tribute to SRV with the upbeat “The House is Rockin”
i don't think you're going to be a fan of his for very long.Yes this kicked ass too and i will be researching this artist
The lowlight of the show was a younger country artist doing a performance with drag queens...really?
Gary Clark Jr. was great on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles Ed Sullivan Show appearance playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps.Yes this kicked ass too and i will be researching this artist

I'm a big Gary Clark Jr. fan...and an even bigger Stevie Ray fan, but that tune he did is the last SRV song I would like to have seen him cover.From the earlier referenced CMT awards (which I did not watch), Gary Clark Jr doing a tribute to SRV with the upbeat “The House is Rockin”
Clark is very good. I’ve been a fan of his for probably 10 years or more. . I have about 4 of his albums. I first saw him at one of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival quite some time ago.i don't think you're going to be a fan of his for very long.
oh, he's great. but bac won't like the subject matter of some of his music.Clark is very good. I’ve been a fan of his for probably 10 years or more. . I have about 4 of his albums. I first saw him at one of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival quite some time ago.
Not a fan. Sounds like Billy is dabbling in the NIN sound, but it's not as effective.

Have had it on all day. Kicks major ass. Will be riding by your abode with this blasting on my bike in an hour or so.Metallica 72 Seasons released today. Last few albums are thrashier and more like their 80's albums instead of the crap they released after the Black album.
Love them.
Not a lot of new "real" music any more. Just digital imitations of human sounds and creativity:
Spot on
Said what music turned into
My goodness that's an awful song. Way too digitized for any real soul or authenticity.Silly discussion above, please keep this thread pure and to new music. If you want to complain, start a new thread, please.
First new Jethro Tull in 20 years!!!
Yeah, like the cowbell in BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper, an iconic part of Tull is the flute!! I was wondering if they broke Ian's flute on those songs? Disappointing effort by them. Maybe there's a deep cut to enjoy.My goodness that's an awful song. Way too digitized for any real soul or authenticity.
