I grew up on country music and still listen to it regularly even though I also listen to other types of music these days. I still enjoy hearing the old singers and songs. I like the newer stuff, but sometimes I'm in the mood for some twang!

Do any of you like:

George Jones
Tammy Wynett
Loretta Lynn
Merlle Haggard
Hank Williams
Hank Williams Jr.


Or any of the others?

My Uncle Played Guitar and I grew up listening to songs He'd Sing,by Merle,Hank,etc..I can listen to them,but growing up here in Ireland I've also had to listen to "Homegrown" Country singers whose songs are sung with AMERICAN accents!confusedsurrender

Oh my goodness! I can't even imagine what an Irishman would sound like singing country music. I've never heard that one. Of course some English people sound American when they sing but not when they talk.

I would love to hear the Irishmen! I really like Irish accents.

i don't know those names you have said. the only old singers i like were kenny rogers and john denver. i love their songs. i have their best songs saved in my computer.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

I like Kenny also. John Denver I don't really know much about. Rocky Top is one of his songs right? I know I know some of them but I just can't remember them right now..lol.

Did you see Kenny Rogers' movies..The Gambler and Coward of the County?

I grew up playing in rockabilly/hillbilly bands so I love early country, so many too list but Webb Pierce is one of my favs, great h0nky tonk music. There were some amazing Western Swing artists too, Tennessee Ernie Ford being one of them thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Oh yeah, I like both of them also.

What insturment do you play...banjo? I love hearing banjo music. Of course the thing I like best is Dueling Banjos and it's not country..lol.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Jaytech (675)  4 years ago

Dueling Banjos is Bluegrass but a great track, I play guitar & upright bass. I'd love to learn banjo they sound amazing :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

What's upright bass? Is it a like a big guitar or like a cello or what? Sorry for being so ignorant. I bet you could learn banjo since you already play other insturments.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Jaytech (675)  4 years ago

Upright Bass is Double Bass as used by Rockabilly bands such as The Stray Cats etc, so the next size up from a Cello. As for Banjo, it's something I've always wanted to learn, been contemplating buying one for some time now happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you before. For some reason I get email notification for some responses but not others.

I have a friend who learned to play the banjo two years ago. Before that she'd only played guitar and that little short guitar looking instrument I can't think of the name of...lol. Anyway, she is in her 50's so if she can learn I'm sure you can!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Jaytech (675)  4 years ago

I think the small instrument you're referring too would be a Mandolin, thats what it sounds like :) & yes, I realize it's not to late to learn Banjo, I'd probably pick it up in a week


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

That's it! Sometimes I can't think of what I'm talking about. It goes along with a condition I have. It's very frustrating!

Do you have a video or anything on youtube or somewhere like that of you playing guitar?

Yes sunnflr, I remember all of them and still love to hear all the old country music singers. George Jones is one of my all time favorites and Johnny Cash and so many more.

I like all kinds of music, but Country is my favorite. I love songs that tell a story and that is what Country music is all about.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Yep, that is true. Often it's a sad story, but it's a story. I like songs that make sense. My husband laughs at me when he's listening to some rock song and I ask him what it's supposed to mean. He says it doesn't have to mean anything.

I am not the biggest country music fan, that's for sure. But, I like that group called Lone Star. I guess they are not that old, in terms of country music.

My husband digs some of those older country music stars, like Merle Haggard and Hank Williams.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunnflr (907)   ranked 1,022 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Lone Star isn't as old as the others mentioned but they are definitely not a new group. I like a few of their songs.
