dib Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 What happens when you play a country western record backwards? You get your dog back your wife back your truck back...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegtapr Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 When I saw the title my mind went right to David Allen Coe, but a different song. I believe "If that ain't Country" is the name of it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm not a fan of country music, but when I saw David Allen Coe I just had to toss this one out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Certainly the creepiest country song ever, and one of the best...don't be turned off by the "video", just close your eyes and listen...it is eerie... btw- a punch in the throat to anyone who insists Elvis Costello did this song better... I feel sorry for people who write off country music because of the drek that is popular...there are some amazing songwriters, singers, and musicians in that genre...

Buftex Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Another...any man who has been through a tough breakup will relate.... btw- a punch in the throat to anyone who insists Elvis Costello did this song better...George Jones one of the greatest voices ever...

ConradDobler Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hmm. He's had a controversial past, IIRC. In 1982 I sat at a blackjack table at the Aladdin next to a sweet young thing (so was I, in 1982 ) who out of the blue told me she was DAC's wife. I already knew his history (I read Rolling Stone at the time, so it's gotta be true) and politely declined her advances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I stepped into A pile of you And got love all over me.... And then there's the Jack Clement song... You've been flushed from the toilet of my heart...sung by Johnny Cash on the folsom prison album I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard it before and I liked it. Country music has produced some great music, mainly from "old school" performers IMO, people like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, etc. Some examples: Three.

I have been on a major Hag jag as of late... nobody sang better drinking songs.... Here is with Willie "Reasons To Quit" Few guys could sing such a non-PC song as "Are the Good Times Really Over?", and nobody bats an eye, because he belives every word he is singing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFHJ41ktt3Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
