By liking that Robbie Fulks album and not liking the Bare Jr, perhaps you have demonstrated a good ear for separating the good alt-country from the bad.Of course I prefer the twisted country stuff of Robbie fulks to the pop/rock stuff, but both have their merits in my book.Don't care much for Bare Jr with or without his band, though I think i did hear one solo song I liked. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by markie: I listened and immediately burst out into a laughing fit that I had difficulties in stopping…..<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

The guitar licks in the songs owe a lot to fast country guitar picking. You can hear a lot of that style in rockabilly/honky-tonk. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by markie: I really dont see it myself.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>[This message has been edited by thirsty moore (edited 01-21-2003).]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Henry Dark: good ear <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>thanks, but I doubt I am so refined. The Bare Jr was one of the worst smiths covers I have heard though.the robbie fulks might as well be rock as alt-country. I personally couldnt really make the distinction.Perhaps rock in America has become a dirty word associated with Creed, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi and Ratt……..

Morrissey was always a big rockabilly fan, right? Or did he just like the looks of the guys who played it? <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by thirsty moore: The guitar licks in the songs owe a lot to fast country guitar picking.

I always thought it was cool in the USA until I was set straight on this board. Being uncool is more fun anyway. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by jadetree: Americana is cool in the uk.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
