al mcguire Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 "This video proves every hit country song sounds the same." Well not really, but there are a lot of insipid sound alike bands on what used to be country and western radio. http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/01/this-video-proves-every-hit-country-song-sounds-the-same/ Here are the songs the writer chose for this mashup. - Florida Georgia Line’s “This Is How We Roll” – Luke Bryan’s “Drunk on You” – Parmalee’s “Close Your Eyes” – Blake Shelton’s “Sure Be Cool If You Did” – Chase Rice’s “Ready, Set Roll” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's not just country. Here's an example of pop's reliance on I V vi IV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's really well done, too. Easy to listen to, easy to understand and fun to boot. If he could make money off of it, who would he pay royalties to?

Jim Feeley Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 On the other hand, I was too young (and in the wrong country) to see this when it was published in 1977. But I sure was influenced by people who saw it.

Philip Perkins Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I really liked his edit. I hope he does more--he picked the best part of all those songs and put them together. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard-NYNY Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I - vi - IV - V progression is great but what really matters is the melody and words that go on top of it. here's a cool lady who puts it to good use. she, incidentally, is the original artist and author of 'oh baby we got a good thing going' which was a huge hit for the rolling stones when they covered it.

Philip Perkins Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 The guy who did the country mashup should play the edit song live--that would be cool... philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al mcguire Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 This is what a Country Record sounds like... It was recorded here in the Quonset Hut that later became Columbia Studio B Nashville The "Quonset Hut" was regarded for years as the foundation of Nashville's country music industry. It had the distinction of being the first recording studio in what would later become "Music Row". Owen Bradley, along with his brother Harold bought the property at 804 16th Avenue South in 1954 which had previously served as a rooming house. Over the next year it would become the most successful recording studios in Nashville. It initially opened it's doors as Music City Recordings but had changed it's name to Bradley's Film & Recording Studio by 1957/58 after they moved the recording facility from the basement into the Quonset Hut attached to the back of the house. The "hut" was used for filming musical performances until the late 1950's. In just a few short years , artist of every genre of music walked through it's doors--creating some of the biggest records in music history such as Patsy Cline's "Crazy", Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" and Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet" to name a small few. Owen Bradley is credited as a pioneer in creating the "Nashville Sound". The Bradley's would sell the studio in February 1962 to Columbia records although they continued to record there until late 1965 when Owen moved his operations to his new state of art facility in Mount Juliet, TN dubbed, "Bradley's Barn".
