When you say the phrase, 'Now that's country', who are you talking about?

Question

When you say the phrase, 'Now that's country', who are you talking about?

Answer 1

Kenny rodgers?

Answer 2

There are a number of people that phrase works for.

1. Merle Haggard

2. George Strait

3. Waylon Jennings

4. Eric Church



Or it could mean farmers or people who live in the country. And whoever said Britney Spears should be shot. She may have been born in the country but she gave up those roots a long time ago.

Answer 3

When you say 'Now that's Country' the first thing that comes to mind is country music of course, IE., Marty Robbins, George Jones, Eddie Arnold, Hank Williams Sr. & Jr., Hank Snow, Hank White, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, George Strait, Toby Keith, Anyone at the Grand Ole Opry, and the list goes on with anyone prior to the mid nineties. The new country doesn't really do it. It has become more of pop country which isn't real country. Toby Keith is the one exception for this. Also it means when you drive through a small country town and old men are sitting in their chairs on a porch just talking and you stop to talk to someone in that little one horse town and the magnificent southern drawl utters out. 'Now that's Country' means anything but city.

Answer 4

I don't know whether to answer this from a technically correct standpoint or an emotional, audience-based-argument-using, heartstring-influenced point-of-view. So I'll do both.

Technically, the phrase " now that's country" is a song title, written by Loretta Lynn, and made popular by Marty Stuart.

But speaking strictly for me, any real discussion of who the greatest music personalities are that make country music special would be protracted. It would involve quite a list, incorporating practicioners of classic and modern bluegrass, Chet Atkins-esque "whiny" vocal/tight harmony productions, "Outlaw country, " the "Bakersfield sound," and the "Austin/Luchenbach sound." It would also have to include discussion of artists who made the late '80's and the 90's in Nashville such a special time, including the stellar "class of '89." And it would have to track current best-sellers/award winners, as well.

Answer 5

Musically speaking...Willie Nelson wrote the greatest country song of all time IMHO. "Crazy", the timeless classic by Patsy Cline was penned by the Nelson so for that reason alone Willie gets my vote!



However, country itself is a way of life. No, not the stereotypical white-trash that some here have mentioned. Instead, it's a easy, relaxed way of living. Country is knowing and enjoying your neighbors, helping out a friend in need, treating everyone with kindness and standing up for what you believe. Country is finding solace in simplicity. Finally, being country has nothing to do with where you were born or where you currently reside, it's an attitude anyone can adopt.

Answer 6

Hank Williams, Sr., Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Faron Young, Johnny Horton, Webb Pierce, Don Gibson, Jimmie Rodgers, Don Williams, Skeeter Davis, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, Conway Twitty, Jim Reeves, Ray Price, Kitty Wells, Ferlin Husky, Patti Page, Hank Locklin, Lefty Frizzell, Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee and Connie Smith. Now we're talkin' Country!!!

Answer 7

If your asking the question "who is country", you first need to know what country is. Being counrty is not just a place or a person. Its a way of thinking. Its a lifestyle. Its a presence that someone has. The Dixie Chicks are not country. Toby Keith is country. Most of the time. Johnny Cash is neither country nor rock. He is in his own undefinable class where only truely great artists are placed. In my opinion, if you want true no freels country its George Strait. No other "country" artist has stood as timeless and steedfast in their beliefs like Mr. Strait.

Answer 8

Are people stupid? You're not country if you beat your wife! Good grief! I'm from Ohio born in Ohio, got beat my Ohio born husband. I live in the south now. I love it. Now that's country.. it could mean.. beans and cornbread.. fried chicken and mashed potatoes (not in a box), it could mean the mountains, the hills of Tennessee, or the smokies or somewhere in Carolina, Alabama, good gravy and bisquits.. it could mean so many things.. but you don't have to beat someone and wave a rebel flag around to say "Now that's country"... if you are saying that then you don't know much about country people. I'm from the North... and I got called a City Slicker when I first came here.. did that make it so? No.. no it didn't. For me.. Now that's country.. its the mountains, the friendly people... it's what everyone use to be... it's peaceful.. and relaxing.. and yeah.. Alan Jackson is country... "where were you when the world stopped turning" or Charlie Daniels "Simple Man"... their country... Peace out!

Answer 9

You'd be describing something as being hillbilly/country in an exaggerated sense (whether it be music, a person, a place). For an extreme example, if you saw a guy in a wifebeater with a barbeque stain on the front and missing teeth listening to Hank Williams while parading around with the Confederate flag and a dog missing one leg cause he shot if off on accident...you would look at your friend and say "Now that's country"...followed by a big hearty "Hee Haw!"

Answer 10

Hank Williams Sr. He is pretty much the Alpha and Omega of Country music. You can't go wrong with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash either. Good contemporary country artists are hard to find. The only ones are Dixie Chicks and Big & Rich.



By the way, stop picking Britney Spears. She's not country. She is barely music.

Answer 11

Instead of WHO, I think WHAT: pedal steel, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, harmonica, 12 string, banjo, and honkytonk piano. All bring out the best in country.

The ladies: Loretta, Dolly, Tammy, Kitty, Patti Page, Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Patty Loveless, Lee Ann Womack, Sara Evans.

The gents: George Jones & Strait, Merle, Johnny Cash, both Hanks, Mark Chesnutt, Joe Diffie, Randy Travis, Joe Nichols.

Many others not mentioned are not meant to be excluded... the list is endless.

Answer 12

It is actually refered to Hanks Williams,Jimmie Rodgers, Bill Monroe and there kinds..those new age non-twang up beat tempos is not true country, although they sound good as songs, true country music is about beat up pick-up trucks and good girls gone bad and has the styling of a more blues feeling--and when you hear an authentic country song from the legends that made country in the first place-then you can say "now that's country"!!

Answer 13

All the country singers from the 50's to the 70's

Answer 14

The Carter Family

Hank

Loretta

Conway

George Jones

Patsy

Hawkshaw Hawkins

the Oldies but Goodies

Answer 15

Answer 16

When I hear or say the phrase " now that's country" I'm thinking God, people caring for people, good old fashioned honest values and character, the stories of family, friends, and love lost and found. Now that's country.

Answer 17

The phrase 'Now that's country' alludes to someone, something or some action that is subpar, unsophisticated or based in ignorance to current social or cultural mores - as in a person from a rural or "country" setting. Example: "He bought a pair of gold teeth, that is so country!"

The first thing that pops into my head is the song "If That Ain't Country" by David Allan Coe. But when I say 'now that's country' in a regular conversation, I'm usually talking about my redneck, countrified family and friends, and our way of life. A life full of football, the river, beer, duct tape, country music, and fun-now that's country!

Answer 37

The King of Country - George Strait

Answer 38

I think it depends on how you say it. If you emphasize the 'coun'try part at the end - then I think you mean that something is down home and southern like country music, bar-b-q, etc.



If you are Brittney Spears - you are really saying that you don't abide by state or national child safety standards. This can apply to how you use a high chair, a car seat, or letting your 8 mo. old sit on your lap while driving.

Answer 39

Hank Williams Junior

Answer 40

Hank Williams Sr and Loretta Lynn, the King and Queen of Country.

Answer 41

Well, there are many. Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, George Jones, even some of the female artists including Tammy Wanette, Dolly Parton, and so on. Pretty much anyone from the old school of country.

Answer 42

It describes someone who is so ignorant they think that a politician who wraps themselves in the flag is actually accomplishing something.



Someone who is easily duped into voting against thier own interests and the country's betterment by falling for lies and smears.



For Example:



Bo: "You mean that guy stuck in that dead end job at Wall Mart making less that he did before when he worked a decent job (you know, before this administration handed the controls over to big corporations), whose son just got killed in Iraq, just has his medical VA benefits taken away from him, and who lives in a trailer park just voted for some elitist Ivy League pseudo-nazti neo-con 'cause he thinks someone somewhere might burn a flag.



Luke: Yup



Bo: Now that's country.

Answer 43

Loretta Lynn, Randy Travis, George Strait, Tammy Wynette, George Jones,

Answer 44

In general, people who aren't very well educated and leave everything "up to the lord" because they can't think and act for themselves. Mostly found in the South of the USA, although not exclusively living in trailer parks. Arrested development with adults who dress up like they are cowboys with boots and silly hats. Those who join the miltary right after or without finishing high school.

Answer 49

Every summer there is this one old cowboy(He looks like he is about 90) that comes to town. He walks all over town in his chaps and hat. You will see him at the big park here in town...napping using a rock as a pillow, never taking his boots off..If you ask anyone around here, they will tell you he has been coming about for about 25 years or so always at the time of the rodeos..Everytime we see him we say "Now that's country"!

Answer 53

I think "Now that's country" refers to a lifestyle, not country music. "Now that's country" refers to a slower way of life, not all "city-like" where everything is rush rush, and everyone is in a hurry. People still say "yes sir", "no sir", "yes ma'am", "no ma'am", people open doors for one another, etc. If you are from a small town in the south you understand what I mean, larger cities, no way!! Country music hasn't been "Country" in over 20 years, it's "pop", crosses over charts! Country music in other states other than Texas just ain't country" By the way..the Texas County Music movement is BIG in Texas, but it ain't "country".....
