You'll never be mine." ***That's NOT the opening lyrics since it starts with the chorus and that would be a dead giveaway.*** Hint: country song by a country legend but it's been covered numerous times as well. Making Believe Originally done by Kitty Wells but has been covered by everybody from Emmylou Harris to Mike Ness and Social Distortion. (I don't like most country music when it's performed by country musicians. Covers of country songs done in other genres sound better to me.)

There are exceptions to this, but I am not a fan of Country Music either. I’m a Trisha Yearwood fan. Not the music, the person. Same with Marty Stewart! I was friends with Don Williams. We played many of the same venues, (fraternity parties and frat houses) and I worked on his bus. I’m a Dwight Yoakum fan and I really liked Ray Price. Buck Owens and Willy Nelson swam against the current and apologized to nobody and their music stands out because of it. Johnny Cash couldn’t sing a lick, but he had style for days. Tom T.

In the words of Tony Joe White, “I ain’t kinky! I just know what I like!” Exactly! Mike Ness is a bigger country fan that I am. He's covered Kitty Wells, Hank Sr, Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins- and that's just the ones I can name off the top of my head. When he does a cover (and there's covers- usually of country songs- on every Social D album- on top of the whole album of covers he did solo), he does it out of the respect he has for the artist in question but makes it in his own style. Heck, one of the biggest hits he's had was a Ring of Fire cover- they upped the tempo and there ain't no mariachi band horn section in it neither. Personally, unless it's a particular song or a specific artist- I like Toby Keith's attitude, for example- I avoid most country music at all costs. For the most part, that means that I'll actually listen to the song rather than changing the channel or station. Respect their musicianship? Yep but, for the most part, don't want to listen to the end product. Modern country is bubble gum pop with a lap steel and the occasional banjo or fiddle thrown in. I'd rather listen to the real Lady A (a West Coast blues singer) than Lady Antebellum any day. I quit pop music when Bill Clinton was in office and, best I can tell, it ain't got any better since. If you play most of the stuff from the '70's and '80's backwards, you get your wife back, your money back, your job back, your girlfriend back, your dog comes back to life, your truck fixes itself and you sober up. Not interested. I'll listen to the old country from the '40's or before quicker than I will most of the stuff out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
