Guitar Town

Loved it. Just what I needed.

I was hoping for some Copperhead Road. But still enjoyed this immensely. Amazingly consistent all the way through, probably close to as good as it gets for newer country music (and this is from the '80's). Added bonus: the songs Spotify played after the album ended were mainly gems, including some Steve Earle (and yes, the first song played was Copperhead Road, so it was almost like it was on the album). Double Bonus: great live cover of Springsteen's "State Trooper". Went on a Steve Earle deep dive after this. Enjoy!

I wasn't very in to it, but fans of country could enjoy this somewhat.

I really liked this one. This is real country to me. My one criticism is I can barely hear the bass. Some songs you can’t hear it at all.

A little too yee-haw for me.

Guitar not interesting 2.5/5

Though I'm not a fan of country, there are some nicely subdued tracks on this that make it a decent album.

Old style country, dece, but not super good

Good example of "classic" country / country rock. Easy listening, but not super captivating.

Good country music. I enjoyed it. First half was a bit better.

This country album is an album that reminded me of all the jokes people make about country being basic chords backing tracks primarily about trucks and your dog and drinking and the good ol' days. Those genre stereotypes are definitely because of albums like this. And while I enjoyed some of the B3 piano on the album, I was quickly reminded why I was never into the traditional country that this falls into; it mainly just bores me.

Nah, not having it. Was looking forward to Steve Earle. Saw a bit of it kicking around in my old boys collection. Country though isn’t it. Absolute tosh. Track 4 and it was off. Nothing special and nothing that was going to make me change my mind about how SHIT this kind of ‘good ol’ boy’ music it is.

I'm not a big country fan, but this is pretty good country, I think.

There is some country music I like. Steve Earle pretty much typifies the kind of country I do not like.

sucks lol. not my style at all

eher fad

Thank u, next

better than I thought, never heard of him before - he is country, but not pop nor is it willie nelson - I was pleasantly surprised

A god damn classic. "I got a 2-pack habit and a motel tan" is one of the greatest lines in a song.

Good Country

This album had its charms but was a little too something (maybe kitschy?) for me.

Good solid Country album

Sounds like generic country music to me. Every time I sample a high point of this genre, I wonder what the low points must sound like... because this just sounds exactly how I expect the genre to sound in my head. I've listened to another of his albums in the past, and that made no impression either. 2.5... I don't feel equipped to judge country, so "it's not you, it's me".

I can see why this was influential but no.

Country

LOVE Steve Earle

Not my type of album but hell, here’s a 3. It helped me to discover “big cheeseburgers and good French fries” by blaze foley.

Country rock. You can almost see Whiskeytown and Ryan Adams in the distance. BT: Goodbye's All We've Got Left, Good Ol' Boy (Gettin' Tough), Someday

Good stuff. I knew Guitar Town but had not listened to the entire album before.

Wel erg country, maar een fijne stem

Twangy. 0RS

Niet mijn muziek, na 2 nrs afgezet!

Net als bij Emmylou iets teveel pure country naar mijn smaak. Na een paar nummers uitgezet.

Vast heel goed in zijn soort, maar ik heb er niet veel mee.

Kraak noch smaak.

Scratches that exact type of country music I like. More rock than country but still a solid country twang

Copperhead road is not on this album.

Off the bat, sounds like Springsteen. Meh...

Just solid working class country

more middle of the road than a central reservation.

Generally enjoyable in an easy-to-listen-to-country way. Had high hopes after the opening track, 'Guitar Town', and enjoyed 'Someday', but generally pretty standard other than those, especially the end of the album. Overall, would be a 'bang average' 3/6 tents in the (superior) Roskilde scoring system.

Sad, real world

Hope that I continue not enjoying music like this.

Not bad fair play

Wasn't as familiar with this as the albums that followed, but liked it a lot. That dude lived hard.

Nett

false

This guy really wanted to write an old fashioned country album, and I think there’s a bit too much of the late 80s in there for me... not a bad album by any means, but just not great Favorite Tracks: “Guitar Town” and “Hillbilly Highway”

I suppose a yee haw is in order. Pretty inoffensive country album

If all country was like this, you could count me as a country fan.

Steve Earle, this album cover and it's name look like a fake album from a movie hahah. || I was hopeful for an interesting country album, I've been looking for more Country music to enjoy that isn't god-awful stadium country. Unfortunately this looks to be an 80's precursor that style...

Love Steve, sad about JT still

Right on the cusp of alt-folk and alt-country. Love it.

Country/Americana Yeah!

Should have called it “Git-tar Town.” Some of the vocal affectations drive me crazy, but that’s country. I liked the slower stuff... but not “Little Rock n Roller.” No no no.

80s country rock

Not bad. Just not for me.

well, it certainly doesn't sound like anything i remember from 1985. i really like how out-of-time it is, in fact.

I’d never listened to 80s country, but I liked this. I also liked the stuff that came on afterwards on Spotify.

Not bad for country

Nope. Not for me

ok, i guess. springsteen with a pick up truck

can this dude actually shut up

I could've sworn that I'd listened to this before and liked it. Not my cuppa tea, but it did feel very much like something Josh and Howard would like.

Less dopey than much new country but not really my thing.

Pretty solid country album! Obviously in love with the first track, and most of them are about on par for Steve. Some slower and less interesting songs, but a good time overall.

I tried. It was fine.

Classic 70's american rock. is okay.

Really good album

Well after these 3 amazing records in a row I’m totally expecting Kid Rock next.

Still not into country music

we do enjoy Steve Earle

not for me.

Good ol country rock shit. My type of vibe on a nice spring day with the wind in your hair. Prob good for a road trip or riding ur motorcycle to clear your head

Not a country fan

Eipä kovin järisytelly, yks biisi oli hyvä

Top-notch country rock, at turns tender and loud. Always sincere, with the icons of the genre at the fore.

Not a huge country fan but this is the sort of thing I can tap my foot to for half an hour or so. It's kinda cruisy, rocks enough, doesn't overstay its welcome. I'd never heard Earle apart from Copperhead Road, this sounds about the same. 3/5.
