I will admit I'm old, (68), and I guess I'm old school when it comes to Country music. I turned on the local country station the other day, and thought I had tuned in the Rock station, and I found this on BIAB and wrote this song. It's different from my normal gospel genre, but I love the old type Country Music. https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/good-old-country-musicGood Old Country Music What has happened to, good ole country music, to the songs that I love to hear. This progressive stuff they’re playing now, ain’t country music, It almost brings a grown man to tears. Whatever happened to the sounds of Hank, Merle, and Willie, the songs that had a sweet melody, What has happened to, good ole country music, it seems it’s been an eternity. Listen to the sound, of sweet harmony, for ages long that’s how it’s supposed to be. What has happened to, good ole country music it seems it’s been an eternity. Listen to that steel guitar, it can almost make it cry, that fiddle music has gone bye and bye. What has happened to, good ole country music, it seems it’s been an eternity.

Love me some Texas swing. Love this.
I got into Ray Benson and Asleep at the wheel..... and they are straight up the center on this.
Nice work on this. Your voice fits the style nicely

Hi Ronnie ...
I agree with all that Herb said. When I lived in Texas, had a chance to meet Ray Benson. And as Herb said, he's spot on with Western Swing. Ray's one tall guy - about 6'8". I'm 5'10" and I had a crick in my neck after that conversation!
I grew up playing this kind of music. This was a real treat! I played a lot of Hank Thompson, Billy Walker and the like back then. Abd you're not that old, my friend. I'll be 74 next month. But, I'm fortunate that I have no arthritis, other chronic pain or significant health issues at this time. I beat cancer about 6 years ago and a mils stroke right after that. But I recovered well and doing just fine. My dog and I go for a one mile walk twice a day. I gotta thank good genes and the good Lord for my well being.
I truly enjoyed this a lot. Very, very nicely done!!! Wishing you the very best. Take care ...

hey Ronnie,
this is AWESOME! You nailed the genre! Your choice of style is a perfect match for your voice and the lyrics you've crafted.
"Awwww PLAY it now..." (Perfect!)
I like the old country approach to allowing several soloists to play back to back, and you captured that here. You hear it also in Bluegrass, but not much in other genres.
Yeah man, if your statement is to express a desire for a return to good ol' country music, you have sure done your part to bring it back via this song! Great submission to the showcase!

I always enjoy listening to your music, and this was certainly no exception. Classic country style, solid melody, good write, nice vocals. This one really put a smile on my face!

Ronnie, this is so good in so many ways, super great country swing groove, great backing tracks, excellent mix and vocal with outstanding lyrics!
You sure don't hear good country music like this on country radio stations anymore.
This is country swing at its finest.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Nice...love western swing. We used to play a bit of it in our bluegrass band. That was a great era and you did a good job with this reminder. And Bud is seven years older than you young man  J&B

Perfect vocal presentation that matches the vibe.
