non car Brooks & Dunn sont venus à partir de 1991 ; ces 6 là ce sont véritablement ceux qui ont lancé la vague gigantesque de la new-country de l'époque!

Années: 1988/1989

et bien sur Garth Brooks !!! terrible oubli!

Toute reflexion t'as raison on peut ajouter les Diamond Rio non!!! :suspect:

Ah ! Garth Brooks , Alan Jackson , Travis Tritt ... j'adore !
Sinon avant cette " vague " d'artistes tres talentueux , est ce que la Country avait tant d'impact ?
Comment se portais la Country fin 70's ? Est ce que l'ont peux dire que ces artistes ont rebousté la Country ?
Je demande car la totalité des albums que je possede date d'environ 1990 ... 2009 .

Bah dans les 70's c'était plutôt les Outlaws, Cash, Jennings, Willie et Kristofferson et aussi Merle Haggard.

T'avais aussi le début de la country-pop avec Kenny Rogers, ou des gars "hors catégories" comme David Allan Coe !


J'écoute pas mal David Allan Coe et Willie, et j'ai eu ma période Johnny Cash, mais les autres un peu moins ...

WAYLON JENNINGS est peut-être le chanteur de country que je préfère ...


WAYLON JENNINGS - Lonesome, On'ry and mean ( Live Texas 1978 )



Merle Haggard aussi, ça a de la gueule.

Je les adore tous les 2 !
de véritables maîtres, légendes...j'écoute souvent:

Waylon avec Don't think twice it's alright ( de Bob Dylan )
Merle avec Ramblin fever

et j'ai passé dans mon émission du 25/05 en fin, 2 titres de Neil Young sur son album country Old ways de 1985 avec ce duo avec Waylon : Bound for glory -







As tu aussi cet album de 2007/2008 Waylon Forever enregistré juste avant le décès de Waylon et pris en main par Shooter son fiston (un cd de duos de guitares et de voix)! Country-progressive !

Country music from the 1980s often gets a bad rap because of the sour aftertaste from Urban Cowboy. Yet in retrospect, many artists from that era recorded a superb catalog of hits that still hold up, even 20 or 30 years later. It's impossible to write a definitive list of the generation's most important artists, so instead, here are 12 of my personal favorites.

Alabama
This bar band put a Southern stamp in its music, but the message quickly translated all across the country. With more than two dozen No. 1 hits in the 1980s, they emerged as the most popular country group in history, singing about the simple delights of mountains, rivers and love that feels so right.

For fans of: Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean
Choice cuts: "Mountain Music," "Lady Down on Love," "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)"

Rosanne Cash
She gave a contemporary spin to classic country themes like heartache, adultery and disillusionment. While she famously drew on personal experience as the wife and daughter of country artists, it's safe to say she still wrote for a radio audience because the melodies are captivating rather than navel-gazing.

For fans of: Sugarland, Miranda Lambert
Choice cuts: "Seven Year Ache," "Blue Moon With Heartache," "Tennessee Flat Top Box"

The Judds
The acoustic arrangements intrigued country fans, but their nostalgic ballads secured their place in music history. When they parted ways in 1991, a reunion looked impossible. However, if it's not one thing, it's your mother, and they stood together at CMA Music Festival in 2009 -- and still sounded splendid.

For fans of: Reba McEntire, Sara Evans
Choice cuts: "Mama He's Crazy," "Why Not Me," "Love Is Alive"

Reba McEntire
In the 1980s, she made marriage seem like the worst possible outcome for a happy couple. Sometimes the women in her songs felt stuck. Other times, they'd just slip off the wedding ring and figure it out later. Sure, she famously stretches out her syllables, but you have to put all that emotion somewhere.

For fans of: Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride
Choice cuts: "Somebody Should Leave," "Only in My Mind," "One Promise Too Late"

Ronnie Milsap
As a dedicated follower of country and soul, he blended those styles into a lush, pleasing sound that found a vast, devoted audience. His delicate touch on piano underscored the romantic longing in his songs, a yearning that went unrequited in about half of his hits. But his sentimental fans wouldn't have missed the other half for the world.

For fans of: Billy Currington, James Otto
Choice cuts: "Smoky Mountain Rain," "Inside," "Lost in the Fifties Tonight"

Anne Murray
Her warm alto can make you feel like she's singing only for you. While some traditionalists considered it easy listening music, but she still racked up a long succession of country hits by balancing lighthearted tunes with breakup ballads and, occasionally, social commentary. She never needed to belt it out, because, oh, that tone ... .

For fans of: Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill
Choice cuts: "Could I Have This Dance," "A Little Good News," "Just Another Woman in Love"

Willie Nelson
No one received more country airplay in the 1980s than the Red Headed Stranger, that easygoing entertainer with a glint of mischief in his eye. The native (and nasal) Texan is readily identified with the Outlaw movement of the prior decade, but many of his later hits have become anthems. In short, you couldn't have country music without him.

For fans of: Toby Keith, the Zac Brown Band
Choice cuts: "On the Road Again," "Always on My Mind," "To All the Girls I've Loved Before"

Restless Heart
Armed with polished harmonies and an arsenal of love songs, these guys were radio favorites throughout the late 1980s. Larry Stewart's confident vocals belied the complex arrangements of their six consecutive No. 1 hits. If you get misty-eyed for '70s soft rock, these former studio musicians will take you back in time.

For fans of: Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum
Choice cuts: "I'll Still Be Loving You," "Bluest Eyes in Texas," "Fast Moving Train"

Ricky Skaggs
In 1982, this Kentucky-raised tenor won two CMA Awards, joined the Opry and married Sharon White of the Whites. Oh, yeah, and he scored the first of many No. 1 hits with "Crying My Heart Over You" -- a bluegrass staple that country audiences embraced. By giving a modern spin to acoustic music, he continues to carry the traditional torch.

For fans of: Dixie Chicks, Lee Ann Womack
Choice cuts: "Highway 40 Blues," "Honey (Open That Door)," "Uncle Pen"

George Strait
He makes it seem effortless, which is why countless imitators have cropped up since "Unwound" in 1981. Musically inspired by Frank Sinatra and Bob Wills, the handsome Texan can croon about love gone wrong while the twin fiddles break your heart. And his lighthearted songs, like the man himself, never get old.

For fans of: Blake Shelton, Jamey Johnson
Choice cuts: "Amarillo by Morning," "The Chair," "All My Ex's Live in Texas"

Randy Travis
About halfway through the decade, country fans rejoiced when this North Carolina singer arrived with his rich baritone and catchy, clever songs. At just 25 years old, he launched a string of soon-to-be classics that you still hear at weddings today. He also wrote "I Told You So," which Carrie Underwood will be singing forever and ever, amen.

For fans of: Alan Jackson, Josh Turner
Choice cuts: "Forever and Ever, Amen," "Deeper Than the Holler," "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart"

Steve Wariner
One of the smoothest, purest singers in country music started out as a guitarist for Dottie West before finding his own voice. Although he has a well-deserved reputation as a nice guy, Wariner often returned to the well of regret and foolish decisions for inspiration. Even when the endings are sad, the subdued production lets the message shine through.

For fans of: Brad Paisley, Keith Urban
Choice cuts: "All Roads Lead to You," "Some Fools Never Learn," "The Weekend"

J'aime beaucoup ces deux Albums de Diamond Rio !!!

y'en a qui connaisse ?

EN 1996 J AVAIS 16 ANS, J ECOUTAIS CA
EN 2011 IL ME FAIT TJRS PENSE A LEX LUTHOR !!

j'ai toujours bien aimé ce trio (précurseur de The Band Perry ! )

Voila un ch'tit clip qui fleur bon la nostalgie des années 90

Pour moi le précurseur de la new country, c'est Dwight Yoakam, lynché par Nashville à ses débuts. Artiste incontournable qui a
donné un gros coup de jeune à cette musique.



1986

C'est une des meilleures années pour moi ! une véritable bombe l'industrie de la new-country à cette époque !

La meilleur époque t'as bien raison et au passage c'est ma chanson préféré d'Alan Jackson
