Honky Tonk Badonkadonk's Song

Luke Bryan’s music is popular in modern days. Many people in their forties- fifties don’t like Luke’s music because it sounds like pop music. That’s only because, we don’t have the same people they grew up listening to. We didn’t grow up with them so we aren’t use to their kind of music. Luke Bryan is a modern country singer, mashed together with pop country.

Toby Keith is talent personified. Toby is not just a singer but he is a songwriter as well. Most country artists today lack the talent to write, in the past nearly all the legends of Country Music wrote and sang their own material. Toby Keith holds rank with those Legends of Country Music. Put Toby Keith up against "other" musicians and in other genres-- Toby is still in a league by himself. Many artists today lack the talent to sing without the high-tech studio gimmicks to make their voices better. Toby Keith possesses one strong, clear and beautiful baritone voice . His talent of writing and singing were God given. Toby genuinely acknowledges God's role in his singing as well as in his life. He is not afraid to stand up and share his beliefs in God, Country and Family Values. On the flipside Toby will let loose paying tribute to the old Country Music stereotype songs: of beer drinking and temptation. Not many artists can walk such a fine

“Being Country” just those two words together come with many discussions, but the book brings another discussion. This book “Being Country” by Bobbie Ann Mason honestly had me thinking and wondering if everybody’s perspective about changes in life is the same. The main outlooks I took from this book was; When your surroundings have changed your identity will also, Sometimes a reflection of the past can help your future, and whoever you are going to be will not change.

In 1999, American author Bobbie Ann Mason wrote the short story “Being Country” to satirize the notion that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Mason, who was the main character and narrator of her own story, was very unhappy with her life on the farm, as demonstrated through the discontented, critical tone of her narration. She insisted a countrywoman could only have an impact on the world if she took initiative and questioned her womanly duties.

From the song that most people know “Chicken Fried” or “Knee Deep”, this album is one that could put a smile on anyone's face even if you happen to not like country. Unlike most albums of today's music, this album has not fillers because all the songs were hits by themselves. Now as an album these songs mold together rather well. With the songs that you can just listen to on a long windy road (“No Hurry”) and just relax or the songs that make you think of life (“Colder Weather”). This album has a song for any occasion and not all the songs are about trucks and beer like most

The prevailing ideologies that define masculinity within country music, and with even greater prominence in the “bro-country” subgenere, remains engrained within the concept of being an outdoorsman. Luke Bryan’s “Huntin’, Fishin’, Lovin’, Everyday,” acts as a laid back anthem to said country-man, whose lyrical substance of the song indicates that a true country boy yearns for a life within the rural setting. Luke describes “the prayer

Have you ever wondered why George Strait is the King of Country music?  With Georges many followers across the world and many awards he received this means he would be set up for success right?  George has had a lot of major and minor challenges throughout his background and career, but that hasn’t slowed him down any on his awards and number one hit singles and albums.  Lets go over George’s background, career, and awards and number one hits.

Some of the best are "April Love," "Love Letters in the Sand," and "Don't Forbid Me". He started hosting The Pat Boone-Chevy Showroom at the time, an ABC television series. In 1961, his "Moody River", again topped the charts. Boone is a good author and wrote a lot of good books like The Care and Feeding of Parents, Me and the Gatepost, Between You, and Twixt Twelve and Twenty.

1. Martina McBride was able to crank out three top charting records in one year: "Love's the Only House," "I Love You," and "There You Are." There's so much love coming from that woman! She was able to have a huge following relate to her, and hence, made her the number one chick in Country music.

The protagonist in the short story “Big Black Good Man”, written by Richard Wright, is a sixty year old man named Olaf Jenson. Jenson works as a night porter at a hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark. Jim, an American sailor, enters the hotel and requests a room. Jenson is startled by Jim’s usual black complexion and gigantic size. Before meeting Jim, Jenson views himself as respecter of all men. In fact, Jenson justifies his belief by dawning upon his experiences as a sailor, which exposed him to many different cultures and peoples. However, his encounter with Jim causes Jenson to realize his racial prejudices. Although Jenson refuses to accept this revelation his words and actions testify otherwise.

George Strait Introduction “I want to reach the point where people hear my name and immediately think of real country music (“George Strait Quotes,” 2018).” George Strait made this happen too, with hard work and persistence. Being turned down by multiple record companies was very hard on Strait. He kept working though, and it paid off.

Regardless of George Strait's incredible history of recognition and awards, he has always been one of my favorite country music artists. I am a true, long time fan of traditional country and I love his style in particular because of the dash of honky tonk and swing music that comes with it. My husband has roots in Texas and we spend quite a bit of time there on vacation. We enjoy the cowboy lifestyle and have always spent our free time enjoying country music, country two step dancing at the dance hall, being outside horseback riding, attending the rodeo, visiting the county fair and enjoying the laid back country life. One day we plan on moving back to Texas permanently and in the meantime, George's music makes us feel at home wherever we are.

Nat King Cole was a superb jazz and pop artists from the 1940’s all the way to the early 1960’s. He was unique because his music was able to reach out to not only the black Rhythm and Blues-loving community but also the white Frank Sinatra-loving community, who appreciated Coles silky smooth voice, and jazz lovers who appreciated his superlative piano skills. Cole’s infamous song “Straighten Up and Fly Right” was the hit that shot his career into international success. Its simple lyrics and easy tune mixed with Cole's remarkable piano skills made it an enjoyable diddy for all audiences. The song was essential in aiding Cole's career as an African American in white America and in making him the household name that
