O.K. thats it. Just turned on CMT and Inside Fame is doing a deal on John Cougar Mellencamp.
First KId rock, Now this other rock and roller that can't sell rock records anymor.
What the heck is next? Perhaaps Tina Turner would like to come sing the "Tennessee Waltz" Or better yet how about the Stones doing a big stones version of Rocky top.
Yea that could work. Sure as heck bet somebody would buy it.

Even though that's VERY funny, it's also quite profound, don't you think? I've gotta have the lyrics. Is it really a song?

| Wasn't that ridiculous! CMT is run by N.Y. interests. They are practicing cultural genocide against country music. |

The Stones, to be fair, took a pretty credible stab at Country Rock when Gram Parsons was hanging around. Country Honk, Wild Horses, Dead Flowers, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, all Country tunes with a serious rock edge to them. Some even had steel, or were redone later with steel by country artists. The Beatles and Stones were both fascinated by American Country music, Buck Owens in particular. Like everything else, The Beatles got into it first, recording Act Naturally in 1966. (and Honey Don't even earlier) They had the benefit of having a member (Ringo) who was a huge fan of what he called "Cowboy Music" from the time he was about 8 or 9 years old, and was always up on what was going on in the US in that style of music. In many cases, the Beatles had copies of new releases before they even hit American airwaves.

On the George Jone's record "The Bradley Barn Sessions" which featured duets with George, Keith Richards of the Stones sang "Darling Say It's Not You" and actually did a pretty good job of it. My favorite cut on the album was "Good Year For the Roses" with George and Alan Jackson but Keith's country singin' wasn't that bad. I thought he nailed it.

Tina Turner actually did record a country album back in the 60s or 70s. I think it's called "Tina Turns the Country On" I might be mistaken. I've never heard it and know nothing about it, other than it does, or did at one time exist.

Mike, it was titled The Country of Tina Turner and came out in 1973, although I believe it was recorded the year before.

| Run C&W was actually a VERY good bluegrass band who started doing R&B tunes bluegrass style as a lark, and discovered that the songs really work well. Their version of James Brown's "I Feel Good" is a classic. |

I believe Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers had a country CD out as well.
He sang the songs the same way he always sang ballads. |

A few years ago the Stones recorded "Long Black Veil" an old country song with The Chieftains. On the same disc Tom Jones sings "Tennessee Waltz".
Lets not forget "Far Away Eyes" by the Stones on the "Some Girls" CD. Whoever was playing guitar on that cut sure was trying hard to make it sound like a pedal steel. (and did a decent job...)
Musically IMHO there is not a lot of difference between country and rock - but the attitude is different. Rock lyrics tend to push buttons and rock the boat whereas country lyrics are cute and folksy but never challenge the status quo. |

Since "Run C & W" was mentioned,there's another group,in the same vein,that does a satire on "AC/DC". The group's name,..."Hayseed Dixie". What else???
(BTW Paul,thanx. I'm glad,at least,someone appreciated my "efforts". )
