Is country music for old men?

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Is country music for old men?

lately I find myself beginning to enjoy the pleasures of country music

have gotten into George Jones and have quite a fondness for "We can make it"

check out this cover




shall I get a pipe and slippers?

Listening to "We Can Make It", I can imagine Mac doing a cover version of that or a similar sounding song, so I guess no, it's not time for pipe and slippers. That cover is listenable as background music, but I wouldn't pay to see more though.

I went to see and enjoyed a performance of a bluegrass band at 32, so perhaps I'm ageing prematurely. Now time for some music.

Willie Nelson and Family Live was a staple in our house when I was a kid. Great record.

It's coming back. Check out The Moondoggies.

Country folk rock. Sorta like Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young at times.

And here's a bluegrass cover of Float On. I don't like Modest Mouse but like that song. Good cover, IMO.
