Music you enjoy but feel guilty listening to

[Greg55_99]

I'm Black, born and raised in Cleveland in the 50's and 60's. Soul, R&B, Funk and disco are in my veins. But, when the lights go down and there's nobody around, I turn on Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Frankie Yankovik and his Yanks.....

Don't tell NOBODY!!!!!

[O Really]

I don't feel guilty about it, but I don't think I have any friends who would guess that I've picked up a recent taste for Dwight Yoakum. Try it here..

LOL!!! I thought I was only one that had Buck Owens in his collection! Shoot, I go BACK to the old days of Hee Haw with Buck and Roy Clark.

Y'all don't tell NOBODY....

Roy Clark at his best (the sound - vid sucks)

Man that Dwight Yoakam, Buck Owens tune brings back memories of my time stationed in Okinawa. In the eighties, one of my crewdawg buddies from Wewauka Oklahoma, K. C. Jones, would kill four Miller Lites then play "The Streets of Bakersfield" damn near every night on the NCO Club jukebox.

"How many of you would sit and judge me...
As I walk the Street's of Bakersfield..."

Good times...

I wasn't a fan back when they were big - I was more rockish, then alternative in 70's - 80's, but several years ago I went to a live ABBA tribute concert and became an instant fan of ABBA's work. Sure, they had a formula - catchy tunes, memorable lyric phrases, funky clothing - but it was a good one. And great voices.

I had an Ahha ABBA moment around 2001. I was wandering around Amsterdam on the day of the Pride Parade - I hadn't gone - and stumbled on a block party where they were blasting ABBA from a truck mounted sound system. They were having so much damn fun that I've appreciated the group ever since.

Alexa, play 80's music.
Lots of tunes I had totally forgotten about, and quite a few that were much better than I remembered them. I guess in the 80's I was comparing it to 70's rock and found much lacking. Now, comparing to current pop/rap etc., it's "improved" a lot.

Our first stopover on the way north will be Bakersfield. We go right past Buck Owens' Crystal Palace on the way out. I'll hold up a light for you. Dunno about walking any streets while we're there, though. Looks like a bit of a sketchy neighbourhood.

My grandmother did love Tennessee Ernie Ford, Roy Clark could damn sure pick and Roy Acuff loved to show everyone that he could balance a fiddle on his chin.

I don't listen to anything that makes me feel guilty. If I do, it makes me feel guilty. I have no Buck Owens or TN Ernie Ford but have Johnny Cash.

I'd never heard that one. It's no "Folsom Prison" but it's got a haunting Dylan-like sound that's really good.

It wasn't published until after he died, or so the Philly station that played it over and over said. I think it was an anniversary of his death - around 2008.

Have you heard this 9 inch nails cover?

2002 at 70 years old, he died the next year.

Time: The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos
#23 Johnny Cash, ‘Hurt’

Wiki:

... The video for "Hurt" received critical and popular acclaim, including a Grammy Award.

The main street in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Highway 31E, is known as "Johnny Cash Parkway".The Johnny Cash Museum, located in one of Cash's properties in Hendersonville until 2006, dubbed the House of Cash, was sold based on Cash's will. Prior to this, having been closed for a number of years, the museum had been featured in Cash's music video for "Hurt". The house subsequently burned down during the renovation by the new owner. A new museum, founded by Shannon and Bill Miller, opened April 26, 2013, in downtown Nashville.

... "Hurt" was nominated for six VMAs at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. The only VMA the video won was that for Best Cinematography. With the video, Johnny Cash became the oldest artist ever nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. Justin Timberlake, who won Best Video that year for "Cry Me a River", said in his acceptance speech: "This is a travesty! I demand a recount. My grandfather raised me on Johnny Cash, and I think he deserves this more than any of us in here tonight."
