Toliko od prve runde kaj sam ja znala
Decki su kasnili sa svirkom 40min (?), no sve im je bilo oprosteno (barem s moje strane) kada su poceli svirati
Atmosfera....hm...vesela
Koliko sam uspijela pohvatati ekipa koja je bil aza okruglim sankastim stolom (njih 10-tak) je zavrsila slucajno u tom bircu, tako da nisu zapravo ni znali sto ih je snaslo, primjetila sam neku ekipicu koja je cak znala pjevati neke pjesme za koje ja "nisam" znala.
Ja ne znam kako ste zvucali prije, ali decki ovo kaj sam cula...svaka cast...jaaaaaako dobro Ali nemojte meni vjerovati...sto ja znam o countryu (pocetnica)
Oko 11su decki imali pauzu od cca 20min i obecali Botanici da ce im prva nakon stanke biti
tako je i bilo
Nakon toga smo mi isli doma, jer bez obzira na dobru svirku netko je morao ustati rano jer radi, netko se nagutao dima, a netko je imao doma djete koje treba nahraniti...eto
Svirka je bila za 5, kaktus jedino ide za lokaciju. I šteta kaj nije bilo malo više country ljubitelja koje se je moglo nabrojiti na prste i umjesto kojih se je tam našla hrpa "nevjernika" kojima je bilo apsolutno svejedno, dok je god gemišta, svira li George Jones ili Severina.
U svakom slučaju, Boysima svaka čast na trudu i nadam(o) se da bu skoro još koja svirka.

Liddy i Straight hvala na izvještaju...slikice su vam super ...i da, nadam se da će uskoro biti svirka na kojoj će nas se više moći okupiti
Hvala za info, Straight!
Nije loše, ali pošto se radi o nestandardnoj božićnoj emisiji, budemo idući puta vidjeli kakvog je kalibra ta emisija. Sviral je Alana i Merlea, što je obećavajuće.

Country Božić ne može bez ove pjesme:
Merle Haggard
If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shivver when I see the fallin snow
If we make it through December
I got plans of bein in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
I got laid off down at the factory
And there timings not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been workin' hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
Now I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And why my little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shivver when I see the fallin' snow
If we make it through December
I got plans of bein' in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine

10 albuma dekade po izboru The 9513
10.Willie And The Wheel (2009) – Willie Nelson & Asleep at the Wheel It took 30 years from conception to completion, but Willie and the Wheel was worth the wait. The album finds Willie doing his best Bob Wills impersonation, supported by Western Swing’s Asleep at the Wheel. The songs on the album were handpicked by Atlantic’s Jerry Wexler in the 70s; in addition to the requisite Wills songs “Right or Wrong” and “Corrine, Corrina,” there are tracks from Spade Cooley (”Shame on You”) and jazzman Bennie Moten (”South,” an instrumental on which Willie and the Wheel get some support from Vince Gill and Paul Schaffer). The gang truly shines on traditional tune “Hesitation Blues,” with a sound straight out of some 40s Texas dancehall. Luckily, Wexler, who died in 2008, got to hear the album before he passed. Chances are he was pretty damn proud. — Juli Thanki
9.Coal (2008) – Kathy Mattea Two significant moments this decade led to the creation of Coal: Al Gore’s presentation on global warming and subsequent film An Inconvenient Truth, and the Sago Mine Disaster. Mattea, also paying tribute to her own West Virginia roots (both grandfathers were miners), creates a window into a world and a way of life that’s all too often ignored through her interpretations of songs by luminaries such as Merle Travis, Hazel Dickens, and Billy Edd Wheeler. Backed by sparse arrangements courtesy of Marty Stuart, Stuart Duncan, Bill Cooley, and just a handful of others, Mattea’s never sounded better; her version of Darrell Scott’s modern classic “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” is simply breathtaking, and “Green Rolling Hills,” where she’s joined by Tim and Mollie O’Brien, is enough to make a listener homesick for West Virginia no matter his or her home state. Produced by Stuart, Coal is bleak, but it’s also as beautiful and timeless as the mountains themselves. — Juli Thanki
8.Heaven, Heartache And The Power Of Love (2007) – Trisha Yearwood
So-called ‘traditional’ country music has not been the only casualty of country radio’s shrinking playlists and attempts to court an ever-younger demographic; a great deal of smart, soulful pop-country has been similarly cast aside. Least deserving of that fate was Yearwood’s first post-MCA album, which failed to drum up much interest despite the Big Machine-ry working behind it. A standout effort in a catalog already overstuffed with excellence, HHatPoL is the gold standard by which future pop-country albums (Yearwood’s own included) should be judged. If they’re not aspiring to the strength and elegance of “This Is Me You’re Talking To” and “The Dreaming Fields,” they’re selling themselves and the format short. This whole album is a breathtaking example of what’s possible when a great voice finds all the right songs. — CM Wilcox
7.Tough All Over (2005) – Gary Allan Before Rodney Atkins stormed country radio by sneaking through hell, Gary Allan crawled through the fire and lived to tell the tale. Just a year after Allan’s wife committed suicide, he released Tough All Over, an album laced with pain and disillusionment that was so personal it would have been a joyous example of country music at its finest had it not been so completely heartbreaking. The album’s only hit single was a deeply intimate cover of rock band Vertical Horizon’s “Best I Ever Had,” but “I Just Got Back From Hell” is one of country music’s bravest confessions; when Allan sings, “I’ve been mad at everyone, including God and you,” it’s a dose of truth that’s a hard pill to swallow. Allan pours his battered spirit into Tough All Over, and while it’s far from an uplifting listening experience it’s one that is fully worth the emotional wear. — Jim Malec
6.Mountain Soul (2001) – Patty Loveless If the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack inspired and paved the way for a roots revival, then one of its first offshoots was Patty Loveless’ Mountain Soul, released a year after the eponymous soundtrack for the Coen Brothers’ 2000 feature film. A collection of re-worked standards among a spattering of originals, Mountain Soul was more an exploration of Appalachian life and music than a full-on bluegrass project; Loveless goes high lonesome on a pair of spirituals (“Daniel Prayed” and “Rise Up Lazarus”), but her down-tempo takes on “Constant Sorrow” and Darrel Scott’s “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” are pure country soul. There are a few cheery moments here, notably the riotous “Pretty Little Miss,” but the bulk of Mountain Soul deals (often indirectly) with the desolation, poverty and loneliness of mountain life. Hard times have seldom sounded so beautiful. — Jim Malec
5.O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) – Various Artists At the turn of the century, bluegrass got hip, as the Coen Brothers movie, O’ Brother, Where Art Thou? arrived with a companion compilation, filled to the brim with Americana, bluegrass and country music which hearkened to another, much-simpler age. Producer T-Bone Burnett married this old-timey music to an all-star cast including Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Ralph Stanley, and O’ Brother reinvigorated the trad-country keepers who’d seen the ‘90s slide into a glossy pop oblivion. Seven million albums later, the album had flooded the mainstream, winning a GRAMMY for Album of the Year and introducing the world to such hidden talents as Gillian Welch and Dan Tyminski, the singing voice for George Clooney in the movie and performer of “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow,” 2001’s CMA Awards Single of the Year. — Blake Boldt
4.Home (2003) – Dixie Chicks This is the best album to ever be flattened by a steamroller while an angry mob cheered on. Up until the 2003 London concert where Natalie Maines uttered her infamous anti-Bush comments, Home was a crowning moment in the Chicks’ career and put the band in a stratosphere that only a select few in country music have ever reached. It won multiple GRAMMYs and sold more than six million copies–more importantly, it was an artistic triumph. After two albums that included a wealth of radio-friendly material (cheery murder songs aside), Home went acoustic, with the focus on Maines’ powerhouse vocals and the instrumental prowess of Martie Maguire and Emily Robison. The songs the Chicks didn’t write were picked from the best songwriters around, including Patty Griffin, Bruce Robison and Darrell Scott. This decidedly non-commercial affair still spawned three hit singles before the Dixie Chicks were kicked out of country music.
One of the injustices of the Dixie Chicks’ controversy (besides the obvious) was that it overshadowed their brave, beautiful, and best album. Trading in the pop-driven arrangements that made them famous for a more traditional and austerely acoustic sound, Dixie Chicks reject quaint versions of country music on the very first song (“Long Time Gone”) and then seek out viable alternatives: a Fleetwood Mac cover, a couple of runaway bluegrass numbers, a tangle of Celtic influences, and the decade’s best song about war–“Travelin’ Soldier”–which manages to be neither pro nor anti but genuinely moving. Home sounds both lovingly traditional and thoroughly modern, suggesting that the trio’s true intent was to be musical–not political–activists. — Stephen M. Deusner
3.The Man Comes Around (2002) – Johnny Cash By 2002, Johnny Cash’s booming voice was a shadow of its former self, and he only had about a year to live. While Cash the human weakened, Cash the artist still had plenty to say. American IV is a brooding album; it’s difficult to hear Cash singing about mortality considering how close he was to his own passing, but his versions of “We’ll Meet Again,” “In My Life” and “Streets of Laredo” are moving, worthy covers. The original “The Man Comes Around” is filled with creepy Revelations-esque vengeance, and “Sam Hall” proves that Cash kept his irreverent side to the very last. Than there’s “Hurt,” the Nine Inch Nails song that Cash claimed as his own. Not only has it set the gold standard by which all other cover songs are judged, it made a generation or two of MTV viewers realize that Johnny Cash was cool. — Sam Gazdziak
As with the other American recordings, Cash’s fourth volume finds him covering standards along with a few choice contemporary songs, all stripped down courtesy of Rick Rubin. The song that garnered the most attention was Cash’s incredible version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt,” (don’t forget the subsequent music video that caused more than a few viewers to burst into tears), but there were several other gems on the album, from the Revelation-themed title track to “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” on which Cash is joined by Nick Cave. Sting’s “I Hung My Head” here sounds as though it’s a classic country murder ballad, and “Personal Jesus” gets a badass, gritty blues treatment. Cash also chooses to rerecord a few of his own songs with the benefit of a few extra decades of livin’ under his belt, sounding full of life on deliciously spiteful kiss-off “Tear Stained Letter.” American IV was the final album Cash released during his life; it’s also one of the most beautiful. — Juli Thanki
2.There’s More Where That Came From (2005) – Lee Ann Womack
It was such a screwy decade for country music that going traditional was a risky career move. That Lee Ann Womack’s 2005 album got airplay at all seems a minor miracle, proof either that good songs are undeniable or, more likely, singing a graduation theme song like “I Hope You Dance” gives you license to wander a bit. Thankfully, Womack rose to the occasion, crafting an exquisite set of tough-love songs that dealt with country’s perennial themes of impossible loves and cold romantic comforts, in a style that sounded timeless in an industry that typically emphasizes timely. — Stephen M. Deusner
After the unholy success of “I Hope You Dance,” Lee Ann Womack suffered from a bit of a career slump, releasing the lukewarm Something Worth Leaving Behind in 2002. But three years later, she was back with a vengeance. There’s More Where That Came From is a record meant to recall the halcyon days of ’60s and early ’70s country music, right down to the compact disc and liner notes designed to resemble a vinyl album (it was also released as an LP for vinylthusiasts). This CMA Album of the Year (it edged out releases from Keith, Tim, and George) is chock full of excellent drinking and cheating songs, bolstered by pedal steel and fiddle and Womack’s rich, expressive voice. Lead single, “I May Hate Myself in the Morning” was her highest charting song since “Ashes By Now,” five years earlier. Womack, joined by Dean Dillon and Dale Dobson, stretches her writing muscles on the best-titled song of the decade, “Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago,” about a woman longing for the days when she “had it all, just too young to know.” Ending with a hidden solo cover of the Porter and Dolly classic “Just Someone I Used to Know,” There’s More Where That Came From is both a throwback to one of country music’s finest eras, and the beginning of Womack’s return to her traditionalist roots. — Juli Thanki
1.That Lonesome Song (2008) – Jamey Johnson It would be easy to name Johnson the savior of country music, sent to rid the genre of all its wicked ways, crown him with a halo of thorny guitar picks and call it a day. After all, critics salivated over his second album’s release in a way usually reserved for retrospectives on country legends, and it even garnered mainstream recognition on radio and award shows with the expertly crafted single “In Color.” However, underneath all the hype about cocaine, whores, neo-o u t l a w Movements or any of his somewhat scary grooming habits, stands a collection of songs so steeped in hurt, lyricism, grit and honesty that it’s impossible to deny their lasting impact on the shiny, polished products that dominated this decade’s country music landscape. — Karlie Justus
The hype surrounding Johnson’s sophomore effort–and the skepticism with which that level of acclaim naturally meets–could kill a lesser album. But once all the superlatives have been slung and the dust has settled on the critical sock-hop, this spiritual successor to Waylon’s Dreaming My Dreams is still more than capable of standing on its own merits as the finest album of the decade. In country music, absolution often comes in a bottle, a Bible, or the love of a good woman. Here, it comes in the slow Alabama drawl of a man with nothing left to lose–out of a record deal, out of a house, out of a wife, he wrote and sang his way back into the game. That’s the story that lives and breathes in every syllable of That Lonesome Song. Track for weary track, this is the best the decade had to offer. — CM Wilcox
john anderson mi je najdrazi od country izvodjaca a njegova best pjesma mi je naravno Seminole Wind
ali ima on dosta dobrih stvari i osim te pjesme.
zatim Rodney Atkins mi je isto ok, ima dobar ritam, opustajuce i stvarno ima u nekim pjesmama dobre rijeci.
i Craig Morgan je isto ok.
medjutim country vuce korjene od irskog folka. tako da celtic folk mi je ipak drazi jer neki country izvodjaci, tojest dosta njih zvuci isto kao i srpske cajke.
Rekel mi je Lonestar ali kak on nije to postavil na forum, moral sam ja...

Evo kaj je Dale napisao na svom sajtu još u srpnju 2009, a što mislim da treba naglasiti:
NEWS UPDATE JULY 2009
Hi y'all,
Thanks for dropping by! Every week I plan on giving a small update right here on this opening page of the website. My friend Frank in The Netherlands is still the webmaster and is working on a new design as we speak. Check back at least once a week and see what's cooking and maybe see we're headed to your neck of the woods. Now the update.....
Here I am in Delft , Holland ( my Euro-home away from home) and I'm getting ready to play the Stars and Bars Club on Friday July 3rd. Now folks, the Van Velzens own this place and are like family to me. Frank will be there and you can give him some suggestions in person if you come to this show. If you haven't been to Delft , then you should. It's a great town and the Stars and Bars is a great venue. You'd think you're at a Texas bar with all the great music they play on the jukebox. Johnny Bush, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Bob Wills,...new folks too, like James Intveld, Jesse Dayton, Jake Hooker, and Amber Digby and more. After the Delft show we fly to Ydre, Sweden ( I know , I know,...I can't pronounce it either) for a really big music festival. I've played lot's of places in Sweden, even wrote a song called Gotenberg Train about a ride from Stockholm to Gotenburg , but this will be my first time in Ydre. Then it's back home and of course, we ain't letting the grass grow under our feet. We play the Continental Club in Austin our first night back home , July 5th.
Okie Dokie, that's the way the updates will go, but with more recaps of what the shows were like the week before. Which , speaking of, Croatia was AWESOME! Miro and Dubravka ( I sure hope I spelled it right this time) were so magnificent hosts and friends. Thanks again Miro and Beroslav for making the show happen.
Germany,... The Old West Ranch was fun. It really looks like an old western town. Nice folks and general good time. I think my accent made it tough to understand me, but they were mighty kind in applause. Same was true at The Four Corners. Man I always have too much fun there. That's largely due to Bill and his pretty wife being so dang obliging. This time though they had help from the opening band Doggone from England. The band was really good and just plum nice guys. We ended up jammin' and just having a good ol' Texas time right there in the middle of Germany,...with good ol' boys from England , haha. England...Lord knows I need to thank Jean Fish of Jean Fish Tours for putting the show in Liverpool on. It was the highlight of the UK shows. Frank, thank you and your kind family for a great pre-show meal and hospitality. Your home was lovely as is your wife. The london show should not go unmentioned. The Luminairre is a great venue and I hope we go back. It is the ONLY London venue for roots music and I hope Londoners begin supporting the shows there more. I am thankful for the crowd I had and I hope I'm not suggesting or offending them. I only want to pass on the venues difficulties getting Londoners to support these acts. If it doesn't start , the venue will disappear, also the Kings Head pub ( meaning Elvis, that have the coolest shirts!) underneath is it's sister club and has the best jukebox in London. Please drop by and say hi to the folks for me. Big is the bouncer and the owner John turned me on to Coffee Tequila,...I know, but it really did taste good. Skjak, Norway was so beautiful. The festival is one of the most well done I've seen in Norway. Great classic American cars and great folks. I met some fans I haven't seen in 15 or more years and made lots of new ones. Also got to sing with a guy I've always loved to hear sing Wendal Atkins. If you don't know him, look him up and buy some of his music. You'll thank me for it. Thank you Alf for creating such a fun festival and having us be a part of it. That's about enough for now. I hope not to make these so long from now on. Hope yall like the new Truckin' Sessions 2 album and let the folks you hear playing it on the radio know that you do. Hell, call up one's that ain't and give 'em hell for it!!
Adios Amigos,
Dale
Rijeka mi je ko drugi dom i uvijek joj se rado vraćam a ovo bi bila idealna prilika za spojiti posjet dragim prijateljima, karnevalska događanja i malo country-ja!

Juhu, Texas Tornados izdaju novi album!
Texas Tornados to release new album March 2
Legendary Tex-Mex supergroup the Texas Tornados will release “Esta Bueno” (“It’s Good,” in English, though any Austinite should know that already) on March 2 on Bismeaux Records, the label of Asleep at the Wheel front man Ray Benson.
The lineup will include original members Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez, as well as Shawn Sahm, the son of legendary Texas musician Doug Sahm, who was one of the founding members of the group. The album will also contain five previously unreleased vocal takes from another founding member, Freddy Fender.
Moj skromni komentar: Benson je napravil super stvari s Willyjem i Daleom, tak da bi i ovaj album trebal biti nekaj dobroga.

Božićni duh je još uvijek u zraku, pa evo kaj CMT predlaže muškom dijelu publike:
Suzy Bogguss, Have Yourself a Merry Little ChristmasWith the most playful album on this list, Bogguss delivers fun renditions of "Mr. Santa," "Sleigh Ride" and a perennial country favorite, "Two-Step 'Round the Christmas Tree."
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Come Darkness, Come Light: Twelve Songs of ChristmasIf you've been a fan of her smart songwriting over the years, you'll enjoy evocative originals such as "Christmas Time in the City" and "The Longest Night of the Year."
Emmylou Harris, Light of the StableThe harmonies on the title track are heavenly, and "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" is an acoustic favorite. Guest vocalists abound, including Dolly Parton and Ricky Skaggs.
Faith Hill, Joy to the WorldA majestic reading of the namesake hymn makes way for orchestral readings of chestnuts like "What Child Is This?" and a compelling newer song, "A Baby Changes Everything."
Patty Loveless, Bluegrass & White SnowFor a quiet Christmas Day, try sterling versions of "The First Noel," "Silent Night" and "Carol of the Bells." Kids eager for their gifts will like "Christmas Day at My House."
Martina McBride, White ChristmasFor many country fans, her powerful "O Holy Night" is the definitive version. She also shows her perky side with a delightful take on "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow."
Reba McEntire, Merry Christmas to YouHer traditional country interpretation of "Away in a Manger" is reminiscent of a simpler time while "On This Day" is a reminder that she's one of Nashville's finest storytellers.
Pam Tillis, Just in Time for ChristmasBlending jazzy renditions of Christmas favorites with a few Nashville originals like "Beautiful Night," she captures the holiday's magic. Pucker up for "New Year's Eve."
Wynonna, A Classic ChristmasGifted with lush production and a bold voice, she pays her respect to sacred traditions with potent readings of "Ave Maria" and "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." Amen, sister.
Trisha Yearwood, The Sweetest GiftHer expressive voice underscores the drama in "Take a Walk Through Bethlehem" and "It Wasn't His Child" and effortlessly brings out the elegance in "The Christmas Song."
