All my Tears - from wreckin' ball

Quality track Woof! :nod

More bands that skirt the edge of country for me and that are, therefore, enjoyable:

Neil Young - Harvest

Los Lobos - Will the Wolf Survive

The Band - It Makes No Difference

This, though, is the greatest country song ever recorded! :nod

Be prepared to sing along

Basque country

This is the kind of stuff that would listen to my grandma when he approached the village from her house in the mountains.

Joe, I think that some of your country and this basque music have some roots in common (the basque that is northern spanish music have obvious common roots with other europeans, totally different to flamenco)

Always liked this, and it was a good film too!

First time I've ever heard Basque traditional music Sabre. If you hadn't have told me I would have sworn it was from England.

I guess there's a shared heritage of that style of music that runs from nothern Spain up through Brittany (France) and across the channel into Cornwall and even parts of Ireland and Scotland.

Traditional music from Cornwall (England)

music like this

would probably be called more Creole or Cajun than country. But then there is certainly a fine line there as a lot of country and bluegrass musicians come from Lousiana and Texas and bring some of that bayou flavor out.

more cajun dancin'

this old guy moves pretty good

Pretty good example of a transitional sound from Cajun to Country/Western

Wish I could recall more from my ethnomusicology class (didn't really show up that much) but I do remember we spent a lot of time on Creole and Cajun.

anyone like Johnny Cash?

Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings kicked a$$ in the 70's. As did Merle Haggard.

If ya wanna listen to some 'modern' Country Music try some Reckless Kelly. Also, Steve Earle and The Eagles.

The Basque stuff definitely reminds me of Cajun as well, Joe. Here's a clip of the undisputed Zydeco master Clifton Chenier:

King of the Bayou

(People will remember a few tracks off Paul Simon's Graceland album had that zydeco flavour, particularly "That Was Your Mother")
