Guest Iain C Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Let's talk about Country music for just a second. Now, country music gets a bad reputation from the narrow-minded worlds of rock, pop and dance music - this is largely posturing, so leave your preconceptions at the door. Come on, give them to me. Thanks. Now you can keep reading. Or rather, keep listening, because this thread is about singer Patsy Cline. Patsy was beautiful, she was talented, and she died in a plane crash aged just 30 years old. Tragically unfair - people go on and on about Jim Morrisson, Kurt Cobain, even Buddy Holly, and how they were stolen from us before their time. But you rarely hear anyone talk about Patsy Cline these days. It's a real shame, because I think her voice is so moving, so delicate yet so strong, and when she sings a song of love or loneliness I find myself genuinely moved. Crazy is my favourite, always has been, a song of broken-heartedness. Try listening to this one on repeat if you've just broken up with a lover. I fall to pieces is a slightly more upbeat number, still about heartbreak though. She's Got You is another heartbreak song. Now here's a really beautiful song, Three Cigarettes in the Ashtray. You might remember this from the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack. I think it's tragic that Patsy died so young. She was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iain C Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I love America. A lot of British and European people will focus on the bad things about American Culture, especially the American south, but fuck, you gave us Faulkner and Patsy Cline.

When sentimental and alone, there is no greater music than Cline. She is the sweetheart of the rodeo. I love this music in bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessier Ashpool Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Anyone willing to put together a mix of country music to dl? I'd be really interested, as I've found myself oddly attracted to the stylings of Conway Twitty lately . . . totally due to the Family Guy, which made me go, "hey, this Conway Twitty shit is pretty awesome!" But, I know fuckall about the rest of the peeps and I'm lazy, so if someone wants to put together a mix of the above that'd be the tits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his beard: i hope that doesnt involve all this twee new folk gayness like devendra banhart or whatever his name is from what i can hear, that is just twee gayness for the sake of being a fucking beardy gaylord it has nothing to do with REAL MEN's music of broken hearts and drinking like Gram Parsons which explains why indie fags and IDM virgins seem to like it every song posted in this thread is worth 10 Autechre albums, or 100 nautilis albums, or 100 billion edit albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His favourite artists are Fairport/Sandy Denny, ISB, and Jethro Tull. I think he likes Joanna Newsome but really he's not into modern music, it's one of the many things I love about him.
