Outlaw country music and Southern rock !!!

I really don't like most Country, but some southern rock is A'OK by me.

Johnny paycheck is a good example also. If you haven't heard this song crank it up add some bass and I guarantee your feet will start moving .




This song by Johnny is a humorous ballad .

I don't know if this fits your expectations of the genres but it's more my speed:



Love those guys.

As far as the classics, I still dig me some Willie Nelson, Tex Ritter (for the giggles), Ralph Stanley, Cash (of course), etc. The modern bluegrass/folk scene is more faithful to country roots than contemporary country/western music is nowdays.

Your link is dead, but everybody gets a star in my thread.

Since I've Posted I will play a little CDB !!

I can respect your opinion on country music. But I would like to point out my feelings on the difference between country and rock .

To me rock-n-roll deals mostly in dreams and ambitions and how things should be . Country on the other hand deals in mostly in realities and tells it like it is . It's no small wonder most people consider country music sad .

Some "Cosmic Outlaw Cowboys" for you. - Jerry Jeff Walker & Ray Wiley Hubbard. These fantastic musicians bring back my great College years hanging out at The Broken Spoke in Austin, Tx and Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Tx .

Wild and wooly times in the 80's, when the World didn't seem soooo mean and unforgiving.

Thanks OP for the thread.

Well, your thread title caught my eye; snagged it really. It hooked it like a fish. I see a lot of good music posted. It must have been a challenge finding a David Allen Coe song that wasn't raunchy lol. Most of them are. I also liked the Little Feat song. It fits. Here are a few I like:

Thanks for stopping in SM those were some quality songs . I realize this thread was beginning to turn into a sausage fest Lol

I will try to remedy that, here's what comes to mind for country .




I got a couple for rock n roll




Janis Joplin definitely embraced southern rock .

I love the way this woman blends country and punk in an astonishing way. Her Lyrics are ....well you decide.

Loveless is awesome.


Many people don't realize this. But one of the best southern rock bands of all time came out of Canada .

a reply to: Greathouse

Good songs!
While not technically Southern Rock, Rockabilly (I believe) helped influence it. It has a little rhythm and blues, a little twang that you can expect with some country and southern rock, and also quite a lot of boogie woogie. See below and tell me what you think:

I'm Rocking out to some Lydia Loveless.

This thread is full of greatness.

I love this music!!!!!

Excellent choices! A big shiny star for you.
You're right, not even the tip of the iceberg.
Johnny Cash is one that's hard to put in a category. He's done country and a bit of rock. I think he's also shaped rockabilly. I've heard that he also could be called folk but I don't know about that.

ETA: I don't believe I've ever heard The Mavericks before. Thanks for turning me onto this band.
