Sam there, I think today's drum machines aren't machines, they are computer and lifeless. A computer that simply emulates something like the classic Roland CR-78 and such.
Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck
l'm not a fan of new country however why does every song sound the same? And Apparently real drumming is a dying art as drum machines rule the roost. Nobody knows how to write a melody anymore even if i didn't like the style of music i could respect a well written melody well not anymore.How long before music will be 100% phased out. Are we next? This generation doesn't even know what the word audiophile means.When i used to open the audio magazines back in the 1970's as a teenager the pages came alive and everybody was enthusiastic about the sound of real music and how it made us feel and when you got concert tickets to your favorite band and showed up at school the next day wearing the concert tee,you instantly became cool.l feel sorry for those generations who did not get to experience real living and happiness what's that? O.k no we did not have computers or cell phones or 500 cable T.V channels and we didn't need them because we were to busy living. and if i wanted to play video games i hit the arcade with my friends and we laughed and had a good time,Does anybody remember good times. l wouldn't trade being a teenager again for the memories of a life spent living which is something this generation will sadly never know my friends.

@guitarsam and anyone else looking for real songs sung by real singers and played by real musicians, you're looking in the wrong place. There is a whole scene happening on an underground/cult level, called Americana. The label New West Records has an artist roster equal to that of Warner Brothers/Reprise in the late-60's and 70's. Yep Rock is another great label, and there are others. Check out the No Depression website for coverage of the genre. There are a number of YouTube videos recorded at the annual Americana Music Association Awards Show. On them you can see and hear artists such as Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Alison Krauss, Iris Dement, John Prine, Rosanne Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Rhiannon Giddens, Larry Campbell, many others. |
