Country music. Not my style.
This was a difficult listen. The songs were slow and uninteresting, and I found it hard to get through the entire album. I didn't have any favorite tracks, as I didn't enjoy any of the songs on the album. Overall, I would give the album 1 out of 5 stars. It's not one that I would recommend to anyone, and it's an example of why some people dislike country music. I won't be listening to it again.
Screw you list. I win! I finally won! It took us 500 albums but for once you're a loser. This is no Dolly. This is no Willie Nelson. This is none of the 60s country that's actually a bit decent. Doesn't even have any creative spins like the k.d. lang or Lucinda Williams records had. Nope. This is 40 minutes of pure honky tonk horseshit. Unoriginal and boring, neither the singer nor the band players sound they like a give a shit, and the lyrics are lame as could be. Could it get worse? Yes, at the very least this is true to form. Half the pop country you see on the charts since the 90s is much much worse. But that doesn't stop me from calling this irredeemable and of no value at all. I don't care if you throw an accordion in there. The two songs I was able to bear the most: What I Don't Know, Home of the Blues (probably cause my patience got sick after the 4th song)
Financial problems, infidelity, revenge, alcoholism, God, guns, southern pride, going to jail, and feeling down and out. Ahh, the seemingly eternal themes of country music. To me, this was awful.
This country Music is killing me
Guy does a nice version of Elvis's Suspicious Minds. Sorry it wasn't on this album because I would have had a song I liked. To me, sounds like he's whining throughout and songs seemed to run together. No favorite song. Would not recommend. A 1 rating for me
couldnt listen.too country.
Итак, на дворе 1988-ой год. К этому моменту уже появилось множество жанров и поджанров музыки, отжили свой век ярко и ушли на покой. Были выпущены гениальные и легендарные альбомы, которые поражают изобретательностью до сих пор. А что кантри? А кантри осталось кантри. Этот альбом - это, наверно, самое стереотипное кантри, которое можно использовать для пародии жанра. Именно это всплывает в моей голове, когда я слышу слово "кантри". Это несложные гитарные мелодии, незамысловатые типовые партии других инструментов и вокал. Ох этот вокал...Если некоторые кантри-альбомы я мог похвалить за вокал, то здесь настолько типичный вокал, что ты снова попадаешь при прослушивании в ощущение пародии. Возможно, это была постметаирония 1988-ого года, но что делает этот альбом в списке - я не знаю. Заслуженные 2 из 10.
I guess country was inevitable
Sweet Jesus a shocker
Oh dear LOOOOORD God might not want me holding onto him after I've sat and dragged myself through this painful album. In what fresh HELL is this a top 1001 album to listen to before you die?? This is the album for after you die when you arrive in hell...
Well it is country and some of the songs have a touch of Mariachi music but there is no singing in Spanish. I would prefer it to be all Mariachi music. I suffered through it. There is no need to listen to it again or really in the first place.
This project has opened my eyes to the wide variety of country music that there is out there for me to hate.
Ah, another opportunity for me to figure out why I hate most country music so much. I think it's the singing, the whiny voice. All I can think is 'fucking GET OVER IT'. Musically this wasn't that bad, but good god just sing normally!
Too American
Aika rajuu musaa… Country ass music! Onhan tässä jotain aika hiekkasta menoo mutta ei tää nyt ihan potkase. Ehkä pysyttelen Cashis ja Hank Williamsissa. 1/5
Terrible. Whiney crybaby.
Twangy country. Nope F
I don’t do country. I did not listen.
Not listening to this for the sake of my mental health.
lame af 2/10, I liked the accordion bits but the whole thing was just so annoying
Well, that's just really crappy, isn't it? Egotistical, nihilistic, misogynist, sad-sack, crooner bullshit. This doesn't need to exist let alone be on anyone's "best-of" list.
Nope nope nope. Listened to this hillbilly twit earlier this year then blocked Spotify from playing him. Just nope.
No
First country album on my list and the first 1 star review, just not the music for me.
I hate country, I tried but couldn't make it through the first song
Didn't like the lyrics, or the genre, or the same old same old country sob stories drawled out ad infinitum. Production seemed fine but that doesn't redeem it. Spent most of the time rolling my eyes and checking whether it was about to finish
I would have accepted Guitars Cadillacs on account of Terminator 2, but this one?
Oh god no. Not country.
Its a country album, and I don't like country.
meh
This is the exact sort of country nonsense I can’t stand
Simply grating. Any subtlety in here passed me by.
Country meh
Dit soort pure country is echt niks voor mij. Wat een ongelofelijke zeikmuziek! Na een paar nummers afgezet. Exit!
Yikes......
Not great Country
First album I couldn't make it al the way through
If this album in any way contributed to Yoakam’s career in a manner that led to him crossing paths with Billy Bob Thornton so he could eventually be cast in SLING BLADE… then it was well worth the experience of disinterest I had listening to it. The mariachi Bakersfield tune was okay, I guess? Yoakam if you got ‘em!
Hard Pass. Not even remotely interested in this album/style/artist/etc...
1.5 - mostly bland and boring. not my thing. 0.5 for I Sang Dixie which is ok
Next album please I’ll not lie, I didn’t listen to all of this but I’m giving it one star anyway just so poor Muddy isn’t bottom of the pile
I really don't like that twangy voiced country stuff. For me to like nything country it has to be pretty spectacular. I can't get through this, it's hurting my soul.
Tämä ulvonta ei kolahtanut
Dwight Yoakam was probably the first artist I ever hated. I listened to a lot of country radio when "Pocket of a Clown" came out, and I couldn't change the station fast enough whenever I heard his voice. This album did nothing to sway me. Best track: Send Me the Pillow.
1988. Key Songs: I Got You, I Sang Dixie
This guy literally jumped
