Back In Time in Music

[Pay Dirt]

It has been said (and studies have shown) that,
"You are now who you were then".

The music that you listened to as a teen and young adult is
the genre of music you prefer and identify with for your entire life.

Fine for everyone except those who grew up in the 80"s

Did not work for me. Grew up listening to real Country music by George Jones, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, etc. Soon as I got a Chevelle SS it was Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, etc. making me deaf, until disco, then it was back to country with Waylon and Willie until that died and was replaced by pop. At the CMA awards which I did not watch was there a Country artist present?

So now other than leftover Gordon Lightfoot and Emmylou Harris, it is only BLUEGRASS.

My sentiments precisely!!! I mean really
There are very few pure Country artists anymore - it's just pop culture stuff these days with an affected 'twang'... its sad.

Emmylou has the voice of an angel - I have always loved her singing.I saw her in concert once back in the late 70's with Willie and Jerry Jeff at a very small venue. She was fantastic and was sooo pissed that Jerry Jeff was drunk and Willie was stoned... she could have done that concert herself she was so incredible!

There was no pure Country female singer who could hold a candle to Emmylou Harris during her heyday (1970s), but she was very often overlooked at award time.

I had only one chance to see her and that was about ten years ago. By that time she had turned into an animal rights/anti-hunting spokesperson. I saved my money and imagined her as she was when I was young and she was not so off her rocker.
