Most of the music I like is not able to be classified, thats what makes it interesting. I mean would you call Jay country, alt-country, rock, blues, etc???? same with Neil Young (my all time fave) what the hell would you call what he does??? The problem I have with lables like alt-country is they are so limiting and mis-leading, I mean I still hear Wilco labled as that, would you really call Wilco country???
Good music is just good music.

Yup. I call that country.derekf wrote:The article refers to Luther Perkins, not Johnny Cash. But I feel Johnny Cash and his band(s) was and is a pretty good example of where our music comes from. I know there are a lot of other influences out there but can you deny the weight of his music and its effect on what we listen to?

Not upset. I just think it's a foolish term. Also, the inclusion of Cash throws a wrench into the latter part of your post.derekf wrote:Why do so many people still get upset when the music we all love is referred to as alt.country? I guess I can understand why Jay would not like his music to be pigeon-holed as such, but is there anyone here who doesn't automatically recognize what type of music someone is talking about when the term is used?
