Listening Blog 11
For this week's blog post, I chose to listen to Alan Jackson's "Gone Country." I chose this song because I am a huge fan of Alan Jackson. He was one of the main artists that got me to like country music. His song "Let it be Christmas" is one of my favorite songs to listen to during the holidays, and it was really what got em listening to Alan Jackson. "Gone Country" is just an absolute classic for country music in general, not just for Alan Jackson. It hits everything that a good country song should hit and it's just one of those songs that needs to be blasted in the summer when you're out fishing, boating, camping, or just hanging out. Although it's not my all-time favorite country song or even written by my favorite country artist, I can still appreciate it for the good song that it is. It has Alan Jackson's smooth country voice with his country accent over some basic rhytmic drums and a guitar. It is a pretty standard country song, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good one. If you don't like country then you probably won't like this song, as it's not the type of country song that makes you fall in love with country music. However, if you're a fan of country and haven't given this song a listen, I would recommend it!
I just recently started getting more into country music. I have always listened to some Rascal Flats growing up but it wasn't until I started going to swing dance every week that I started really enjoying it. I gave this song a listen and it sort of sounds familiar but I am not sure if I have heard it before. I definitely agree that it is a classic country song. You can hear some string instruments in the background. The lyrics along with Alan's voice make it easy to identify the genre.
ReplyDeleteI am not the biggest fan of country but this song was pretty good. I feel like country is taking a weird path going more pop culture... totally weird. I do really like how talented each singer is!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I don't listen to country all that much but this song was pretty good! I also totally agree that this is a song to blast during the summer, I might just add it to my playlist.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you! I also really enjoy country music so I love this song! Alan Jackson is an incredible artist. It is crazy that he is still extremely popular today. I feel like my whole high school was obsessed with him and his music. Overall, this is a great song and a great representation of country music.
