Country star Morgan Wallen sees album sales spike despite industry backlash over N-word video https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/country-star-sees-sales-spike-despite-industry-backlash-over-n-n1257065This racist numbskull has found a new way to sell more records! Just throw out the "N" word and any other racial slurs you can think of. After all, a large percentage of the country music fans and their friends, family, co-workers, fellow church members and folks down at their local grocer do it all the time! Why not buy as many of their hero racist numbskulls records as they can! That'll show other people that it's okay to hate people just because of the color of their skin! I know what I'm talking about because I grew up among these folks. I even got labeled an "N word lover" because I had the audacity to play with the black kids. Current events are a sad commentary on the the state of racism, civil rights and decency in rural America and elsewhere today.

Bob, thank you for saying that. I have lost a good friend over... not racism... but women's healthcare. No, I do not support abortion. I support the right of a woman to get health care.
For example my insurance no longer covers mammograms. I can pay a co-pay. The insurance will not even do that.
Guess he feels anyone... men get breast cancer also... can just suck it up.
He is a hair better about racism but not by much.
The US has gotten really weird.

Current events are a sad commentary on the the state of racism, civil rights and decency in rural America and elsewhere today. I am in the same boat. We lived about a mile from what back then was called a migrant camp, i.e. a place where black people lived during harvest season. We played a lot with black kids. My father fished and any fish we couldn't use he gave to them. I think the media pushes racism. And what is racism? As far as I know we are all of the human race. Different cultures but the same race. Decency is gone because we took God and discipline out of everything. YMMV

I've played with black, white, hispanic and other musicians. The only thing that mattered was how well they played and worked with the rest of the band.
I was a white guy surrounded by black musicians when I was working for Motown. Nobody ever made any of the white guys feel odd for being in the minority, all that mattered was how well you played and cooperated with the other musicians.
It's not what ethnicity you are, it's who you are and what you do that matters. I've met black and white people that I don't care to associate with.

I can't even imagine having one of the artists I like shouting the "N" word and my first response being to go out and buy their new record to reward them.
That doesn't speak well of country fans.

Bob You are probably a great guy and a great picker. You probably don't beat your wife or kids or dog or shoot at Trump supporters (even if you have an urge to) - you probably at your core a nice person BUT .... I usually stay out of these but this one is the straw, especially this week. This is like a broken record of “here we go again.” Can you not STAY 100% ON MUSIC on this site? Can't you skip the thinly-veiled politics, the WOKEness, the not so subtle low-decible whispers about America being bad if not downright evil, blah, blah, blah or whatever it is you always seem to flick off your finger here eery now and then. You always seem to be able to find some way to track crap into the house. Most of the time it’s just tiny, little, minuscule (see redundant) sized mouse turds but turds nonetheless, they are. from my perspective they are only meant to dig and prod and to show, I assume, moral superiority and how woke you are and how bad/evil America is (that's usually where these end up). It seems you throw these out for effect, like an artillery officer seeing what damage the next volley will do. That’s all I can think especially when there are thousands of other sites, echo-chamber sites at that (those cesspool places like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram come to mind), for you to join so you can bemoan the state of America. You seem to be simply stirring a pot here, a music site, to see which chunks float, which sink, and which just stay in the mix and on the sidelines. If no one comments or jumps in you must feel vindicated. If you do get echo chamber support here (aka bubba's doing the POB [pat on back] thing), again you and they must feel vindicated - not sure what that accomplishes but, OK. However, if anyone disagrees or has a non-parallel view with you, you simply get on some holier-than-thou horse, or another (genus) Equus animal, and throw out a few trite aphorisms. for the record, the CREEPY person, in this case, isn’t the drunk-on-his-butt dude out with his buds late at night coming home and talking to EACH OTHER and no one else - but the crime of the century was he was over heard! No the sick perverted individual is the gustapo, Big Brother, Trotskyite, Child of the Cultural Revolution creep who had to have had (has?) 24/7 surveillance set up to even CATCH those almost inaudible and fleeting words, across a lot, at that hour between two drunk buds! For all, I know that "neighbor" also captures inappropriate pictures of little girls in his neighborhood. Here watch some actual black people “react” to it! (and this is just TWO) - you ain’t gonna like their politics either! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A53q44STmVohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiZjAXhnlFQAnd Mario, Music hasn’t been music in MANY decades, let alone country music not being country music. No, sorry, I won't be monitoring to reply Peace and good luck to all, I truly do mean all Larry

The only thing I'm going to address is your suggestion that I think or say that America is bad. I don't even know how you came up with that.
I love the USA and I feel very fortunate to have been born here. The Star Spangled Banner still sometimes brings tears to my eyes.
If it makes you feel better about yourself to insult me then knock yourself out. Just don't make stuff up that has no element of truth to it.

.............. I don't know how he came up with that either. Bob, you and I are at the opposite ends of the political spectrum and I will blow your's and anyone's butt in if you post political or religious posts. But like you "I love the USA and I feel very fortunate to have been born here. The Star Spangled Banner still sometimes brings tears to my eyes." BUT this post was about music. This is a music site is it not? About is response to me, I didn't say I hated what was on country radio today, I just call it pop not country. I know genre labeling is usually an age thing. I do like some of the music on country sites. There is good music being produced today, you just have to look for it as it is usually not on "corporate music stations". One last thing about the N word. No one should use it. but if one side can then so can the other. I pray for the day when we all have the same equal opportunities,language, peace, and we are all called Americans, i.e. no hyphen.

<...snip...> Bob, the stuff they are playing on the "country" stations today is not country I call it "Nashville Music" to differentiate it from real Country. On a related note, what they call R&B today (Rhythm & Blues) isn't close to what R&B was in the BB King and Bobby "Blue" Bland days. There is still rhythm but zero blue notes. Oh well, you either like it or you don't, but it seems to me when a new type of music evolves, it should get a new name. It would make it a lot easier on us musicians.  Insights and incites by Notes

Notes, I never thought about that but you are right about R&B.
Here there are only two types of music. That which I like and that which I don't like, regardless of genre and/or singers/band.

Current events are a sad commentary on the the state of racism, civil rights and decency in rural America and elsewhere today. Bob, I think (and hope) that things are slowly getting better. And that this latest period is just the squealing of the white dinosaurs as they slowly realize the USA ain't "whites only! And it ain't "Christians only". In a generation whites will become a minority here. The dinosaurs won't disappear overnight but they will die off.

Well I still like both kinds of music, country and western. Then there's everything else.  On a serious note, in my mind Chris Stapleton singing and songs are more blues orientated than country. But that's just me. One act with lots of iHeart country radio airplay is Luke Combs. He's one of the few artists that I like almost every song I hear him sing. I'm not a lyrics person but the lyrics to " +++ Better Together +++" is as country as it gets.

I not sure I understand why anyone would be in favor of corporate america being judge, jury, and executioner of a person's livelihood based on a one derogatory comment. I don't care if the person was drunk or sober.
The word in question, however rude and disgusting is both legal and protected by the first amendment. My personal dislike for such language is not relevant.
Based on the use of rude words should we put Universal Music Group out of business for supporting the majority of the rap artist?
I would be surprised to know if a single person has not at some time in their life made a derogatory comment. Do you think it is a good idea to go to work tomorrow and be fired for something you said that is currently considered offensive? Do you really want corporate america controlling what you say?

Yeah because a little racism while drunk with your buds, well that's just fine, right? NO! It isn't. I'm pretty sick of racists and misogynists and homophobes and other bigots trying to get off the hook in this way. It ain't Cancel Culture. It is Accountability Culture! I absolutely agree! I grew up in a very white town where minorities were regularly mistreated, and I learned to be racist at a young age. Now as an adult I am taking accountability of my previous actions and making sure I don't repeat them ever - drunk or not! The word in question, however rude and disgusting is both legal and protected by the first amendment. The first amendment protects freedom of speech, not freedom from repercussions for that speech. Freedom of speech only protects your freedom to express your opinions without censorship, interference, or restraint by the government; it does not protect censorship, interference, or restraint by any other group (employers or otherwise), and it does not protect hate speech in any way (which the N-word is).

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
