I'm spinning off from the "Music that makes you smile" thread because most of the music I would like to share is not sugar frosted feel-good music. Anyone following that thread knows that my Metal offerings didn't fit in.
My first post here is not metal, but my all-time favorite Country song. I think this is just a great song, whether you think you like Country or not. By today's definition I hate "Country." But this comes from, according to the world as I know it, the time just before Country was irrevocably perverted by pop and became nothing but shallow synthetic noise about trucks and beer.
This is actual music made with actual instruments and actual singing. It tells a story, it's powerful, and it's beautiful.
I know that according to the world as others know it, even this song might come after (and may even be part of) the death of country. So if you'd like to show us some "real" country from even further back in the day, I'll watch and listen.
Or share some rock, a capella, Metal, violin solos, mandolin battles, whatever you want so long as it's guaranteed to alter heartbeats.
