[Music] Favourite Country Song

[Muzzy]

There are clearly a few modern country fans on here - great! For several years Sky had a music channel - Keep it Country(now Spotlight) which always had several up to date country progs - American Top Ten country videos(bizarrely though they played the top 12) each week and a couple of others. They dropped those shows a while back because they weren’t earning enough viewers/ ad revenue etc unfortunately. The other Sky country music channel also disappeared. Can any of you in the know recommend any other TV/radio/digital channels playing up to date stuff please

I am a huge fan. Mrs M and myself went to Nashville last year and ticked a few things off from our bucket list. This included a night at The Opry, a visit to Graceland and New Orleans on a fabulous music road trip. Loved every single second of it.

Have you tried this station? It is ok and plays lots of modern stuff. The issue I have is that the playlist is a bit short tbh, but it's worth a listen.

I sometimes host a radio show and I usually play a fair bit of country. Keep an eye out for that here.... www.a1radio.co.uk

I am hoping to complete a country ep over the next couple of years as well. The trip was truly inspiring for me to get on with finishing that. I started to record it about 10 years ago.

It's not a TV station, but Baylen Leonard from total country seems to be involved...

Just discovered this:

This spent about 7 weeks at No1 in the country charts last year. I am probably going to record my own version this year...

With thanks to [MENTION=1510]Binney on acid[/MENTION] for recommending this stunning album to me

It's a pleasure! It remains the greatest album that I've ever heard that doesn't feature Jackson Browne.

Have you seen or heard her husband, Ruston Kelly? He's supremely talented.

 

[Binney on acid]

Zevon's 'Heartache spoken here', the duet with Dwight Yoakam, from the 'Mister bad example' album is quite wonderful. What an extraordinary talent Zevon was. Thanks always to Jackson Browne for mentoring him.
