Hi Welcome to Kick Back Country/Irresistible Oldies Music
and Chat Room . In our room you will hear some great music from people all over the world.
Perhaps no other style of country music has had a greater influence on today's artists than the style known as Honky
Tonk. Honky Tonk music embodied the spirit of dancing and drinking, and of loving and then losing the one you love. Its greatest
practitioners owe their singing style to Jimmie Rodgers and much of the music to the steel guitar and drums of Bob Wills and
Western Swing
NEW TRADITION...After the dismal failure of the Urban Cowboy era, a generation of "new traditionalists" -- George Strait,
Ricky Skaggs, the Judds, Randy Travis, and Ricky Van Shelton -- brought country out of its post-Urban Cowboy doldrums by reminding
young audiences what made the music great in the first place.
Building on the astounding success of Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson and many others, Country
has become the most popular radio format in America, reaching 77.3 million adults--almost 40 percent of the adult population--every
week.. . Garth alone has sold more than 60 million albums since the release of his self-titled album in April 1989.
Country Music is embarking on a new era in 1997. Some artists think that country is headed back into the early '80s and
the urban cowboy, pop-country sound. And while the whole world may have gone country, let's hope the world doesn't wake up
one day to find real country gone.
