The Eagles are not country (i.e., they don't suck), I believe the comment was that the dixie chicks were touring with them at some point. Personally, I hadn't even heard of the dixie chicks until the incident with little george.

I have been pickin' for awhile, and I'm NOWHERE near good. Then I listen to a true virtuoso like Earl Scruggs, and it almost discourages me...he's THAT good!!! IF I had known what a difficult instrument the banjo is to master, I would have stuck with the harmonica(which is also a surprisingly difficult instrument to master), or picked something "easy" like the guitar. I can sure understand not caring for a certain genre( personally, I would rather listen to Fran Drescher laugh for 8 hours straight than listen to 10 minutes of opera), but you still have to appreciate the talent involved.:musicband BTW, my friends of the...ahem...country persuasion don't seem to care much for bluegrass. My feeling is that bluegrass is just too damn cool for the country crowd!:D |
I love country music, listen to it all the time.

I love banjos too. Bluegrass is pretty cool! Do they still have the bluegrass festival in Bean Blossum Indiana?

Let's not insult bluegrass by confusing it with country "music." Some bluegrass picking is amazing, county mostly involves whining about pick-up trucks and wearing silly hats, while playing three cords.

^^^ As a banjo picker, I agree. I have run into so many people who are almost militant in their opposition to the banjo! It's funny how many people refuse to understand the complexity of bluegrass, and don't believe the skill of the musicians that make it sound so easy.
If ya don't believe me, try scrubbin' off a lighning fast passage with 2 or 3 different rolls, with slides, pull-offs, hammer-ons, and pinch chords and make it all sound smooth and easy. One of the items on my bucket list is to just once rise to the level of a Ralph Stanley, or Earl Scruggs. I figure if it does happen, I will have lived a very long life!;) |
I love bluegrass, hate country. Only the commercial, more recent country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM-jNmU4ybk&feature=related

Invented by the Dopyera brothers in 1928, the Flatt and Scrugs band, the Foggy Mountain Boys, introduced the dobro to blue grass music in 1950 and I have been hooked to its high lonesome sound since.

Its not that the Chicks have a *different* point of view, everything is relative, but their argument is illogical, irrational and uninformed. It would be like hating someone for being tall, rather than for the type of person they were.
