Country music is bowhunting.

[cacciatore]

I like to hear some country music when I sit in front of my laptop exploring TG.I don't know but to me country is traditional bowhunting and it give me joy when I rest my bows,pretty rare moments by the way.What do you thinks buddies?

To each his own.

I grew-up on Country music, and still like it best. Have you listened to the music of Chad K. Slagle? It's about Trad Bowhunting and outdoor themes. Excellent music! Two of his albums are "High, Wild and Free", and "Nights Like This". Mark Baker, Jim Bowman, and Steve Shedd have excellent albums with music your bows will enjoy while you're resting them also.

Thanks Danny for the tip.

Its funny, I rarely listen to the radio in my vehicles and never at home. The only time I hear music is at church and on TV. I love country music the best though.  When I've traveled with others who listen to radios while they drive some of my fondest memories are of the music we heard. I still remember, way back in 1985 a trip with 3 other guys in a cargo van to hunt Mulies in WY - Marty Robbins music dominated our cassette player on that trip.

My favorite musician though is George Strait.

Everyone is different, I guess.  I listen to jazz, old smoothies like Frank Sinatra, 80s rock and some more modern stuff if the singer has enough talent.  Don't care for much in the way of country music, myself.

I can't really say I associate bowhunting with music either, other than I enjoy the heck outta both of 'em.

KIDD ROCK!!  and vanzant  my kind of country all the way good stuff

I think CM is the most typical American kind of music,the others are more commons and Internationals.It reminds me of my Rocky Mountains bowhunts too.

I liked country music when it was really country music.  Not so today.  Give me some Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and George Jones.  Have a fondness for bluegrass gospel, fiddle tunes and Irish music too.  But I have to admit none of them remind me of bowhunting.

[cacciatore]

Maybe for me is because I hear that kind of music driving the Mountains in CO-NM-WY-ID-MT and on my PC surfing TG.It isn't really common in Europe where people don't care of it and they snob it.

Chad Slagle sings some cool songs about bows and hunting. I own both his CD's and would recomend them to anyone.
 His stuff is top notch!

Doyle Dykes, Leo Kottke....fingerstyle guitar for me

[jonathan creason]

Love country music, but HATE today's county music radio.  I do recommend Jamey Johnson to anybody, though.  That dudes got a dark side, and he knows how to write a song.

Try living near Nashville & finding anything else to listen to.....

I do like some country stuff, but mainly the up-beat, honky tonk, dance to-able stuff. The dirge-ey "My dog is dead, I just shot my horse, my wife is leaving" side of the genre makes me wanna throw a rope over a rafter.

Yes, I guess for the foreign people like us Country = US, so I do too relate CM with hunting and the outdoors, and also with poker

I'm a bushie, but have a real hard time enjoying most country music, as to my ear it is either too corny or too sad. But I do make exception for Slim Dusty, and used some of my favourites from him to back my traditional bowhunting slideshow last year. I really liked the style of music that the Trash Boys used in their boar shooting movie, and that Pat Lefemine used in "Beyond Adrenaline".

Amen, Robtattoo. It's almost as bad as Rap. Now Skynyrd, Allman Bros., Outlaws, Marshall Tucker- thats country music.

[Killdeer]

I will listen to anything except rap and opera.
Leo Kottke is an old favorite, and I listen to a lot of stuff that most folks have never heard of. My collection of vinyl (yes... vinyl. Even most of my music  is in a "trad" format!) is best described as eclectic.

I did get an iPod. First things I downloaded were all of Beethoven's symphonies and a disk of old recordings of traditional Native American songs. I shuffle them up here and there, and it   is  kinda funny going from Eroica to an Apache song of the Mountain Spirits.

Man I love country music, mainly the older stuff like Bobby Bare, George Jones, Merle Haggard. I do like some new artist but country music dont sound to country to me anymore, I think there just trying to sell singles rather than wright real songs. Today's country I like George strait and Alan Jackson.

[bamacrazy]

I like everything, but alt country,and outlaw country are among my favorites....
