Music folks, rock, blues, country, heavy blur between them?
I was born in 1970. When I was 3-4, I remember my dad having a component stereo with 8 track, record player, etc... I grew up listening to music, I think both of my parents loved music and my dad played cello and guitar, but not much after I came along.
There wasn't much country music in our house. My dad was mostly a rock guy. I think mom had a little more range and liked some country, but nothing hard core country, more like Kenny Rogers, Alabama, that sort of thing. I remember the Eagles from way back. When I was young, I liked Kenny Rogers (mom influence) and even a little Charlie Daniels (who doesn't love "Devil Went Down to Georgia" or "Legend of Wooly Swamp"). When I listen to a lot of Eagles sounds now I think "man, that's country music." I love blues. I love rock. I'm not a big country fan, but, I think I find myself liking more than I used to, but I think the stuff that I like blurs the lines between rock and country. I've often said in the past that I like "Southern Rock" which is a term that I made up, but it seems to be a thing. Is that where the line really blurs between the two? What are your thoughts concerning blues, rock and country, and how much do they overlap? When does one become the other or is there a lot of overlap that most folks just don't recognize Country? Blues, right, but also kinda sounds like rock and country a little. Country or something else? I've never heard this before just now, but what the hell is it? Johnny Cash, he's as country as it comes, right? and what the hell is this? What's what or is it just not that simple. I found this online just now. Maybe this explains my confusion.  I'm throwing this in the mix because it fits, and I like it.

And here's a cross between Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf. I know what you mean, so much great stuff!

Check out the guy in the middle of this album cover - this is a little side project he worked on for a lot of years with a lot of great players. Fun music!

And for a real dose of Eagles in the backcountry, Desperado is a great theme album. My favorite Eagles album - by far.

Born in 59, my parents turned me on to Hootenanny and Folk music. I remember laying in bed listening to this when I was less than 4 years old...and feeling the sadness of the story.

Folk tunes were super-popular in the early '60's and they begat such luminaries as Pete Seeger, who was a Dylan influencer....who influenced everyone
The British kids however were seduced by all the American Blues guys - and they were just as captivated by Elvis as everyone else was... And the Beatles and the Stones and The Kinks brought the Blues back to the US and now we have a great big smorgasbord.

I don't think you came up with the label "southern rock"
 . Labels are for marketing....music is music....it all blends, borrows, and crosses over imo. "Country rock" was big in the 70s...but "country" sucked  ....until Waylon & Willie made it cool. Big blues hound here (thank you Keef & Mick), and be sure to check out Ken Burn's series on Country Music that's airing now... If ya don't like "some" country....you just haven't been listening A rocker...that opened his ears here....jmho. |

Wow, all those posts, and no mention of Lynyrd Skynyrd? They are the definition of Southern Rock.

Lots of good stuff here!
I would like to just mention the music, especially formulaic country music, that is created for nothing more than selling recordings. Nashville on a Saturday afternoon is a great place to listen to great music. We've gone down and bar hopped several times and heard a lot of great stuff. They always want to sell you a CD of course. We buy them to support the artists. But without exception, the recorded music sounded like the same boring formula music you hear on the radio.
