Metal and Country

So Randy Houser is a country artist. He is one of those "I'm more redneck then you and i'll prove it by how many redneck stereotypes I can say in one song" kinda artist. Anywho I want you to listen to the song "Whistlin' Dixie" and pay close attention to the second verse.





Did you hear it? If you take the gtr and double time it would have a metal break down. Ha. I think its funny. As straight forward as country is this guy put in a dissonant chord.

I like it. And I know everyone hates my opinions of music now. That I have fallen from grace if you will. but i'm determined to climb back up. I want to open people up to different things and maybe you'll like them and maybe not.

Now you know I don't like country, and you are correct in your assessment of falling from grace as the music oracle. That being said I do note several occasions in which I will listen to country. The primary situation is when drinking in a country-esk bar in the south. You know the kind, where everyone is drinking beer and whiskey and have singing half yelling the chorus of country songs. If we were in this type of situation I would find the song you presented an acceptable song. In fact, given enough whiskey I might even be prompted to sing along.

I heard it! Double time it and you probably have a few parts of Underoath songs there.
