Earth Country Idol - Australia, Europe or the USA?

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

Your mission should you decide to accept it is to vote for a country/continent and in your post play Simon Cowell and comment away. The contestants are Australia, Europe and the USA. Give a listen to the songs and vote!

Australia
This is a group called the Sunny Cowgirls! Didn't know there were cowgirls (aka buckle bunnies) in Australia but there sure as he!! are! PS they are sisters.
This one called "Dancing on the Darling" is just plain fun.

This one is called "Still Circlin" Probably one of the most awesome songs and vids I have ever seen. Two reasons - 1) I am a wildfire specialist I know what fire can do and 2) Stockmen and stockdogs are a passion of mine.

They do awesome songs - based on their music both of these girls will do to ride the river with (old cowboy saying) - they got their heads on straight.

Europe
This is a group called the Country Sisters. Never heard of them but sure wish I had! If the fiddle player isn't married (he!! even if she is!) my info is available via PM! :icon_lol:
We all know this one!"Lets Twist Again"

A little Doug Kershaw Cajun called "Diggy Liggy".

I don't think this band has ever done a slow song! Man friday or saturday night in a honky tonk with this group - I'm there!

USA
This is a pair of twin sisters Christi Starr and Kappa Danielson
This is a cover Of Jamie O'Neal's song "Tryin to find Atlantis"
pKKg9jcLXH4
A cover of "The Weight" by The Band. Kappa Danielson's daughters are in on this one.

Coffee shop on sunday - you bet!
On a personal note the girl down at the beer store where I buy my "pop" :wiggle: could make a triplet to these girls! I may become an alcoholic! :icon29::icon29::icon29:

I tried to make this a poll but I've no idea how to do that so hopefully it works.

Can I please propose a British entry, Brixton's finest, the wonderful Alabama 3, players of "Sweet Pretty M********n Country Acid House Music; a brilliant fusion of country, techno & house, in their 'unplugged' form they are one of the best live bands I have ever seen!! In their own words "We're the fellas that did that Soprano's theme tune. That tune bought someone a swimming pool, but it sure wasn't any of us..."

do the wurzels count? :bump:

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

Andy I really like that song - especially how they worked over 7 other country song titles into the song! :salute:

The Wurzels - Combine Harvester is an absolute classic.

Seems there isn't alot of country music in Europe. There is a lot in Australia including this one which speaks to a very fundamental truth. :applause:

I realize how painful it is for most of you to listen to country but vote anyway! :icon_lol:

There is a bit of a country music scene here, but not massive - Alabama 3 are not really part of it, although they do draw inspiration from it. I guess the thing about the UK is our cosmopolitan nature, so country will have its fanbase, as will blues (that has, for some reason, always been bigger here - so an artist like Seasick Steve can pull some big crowds), latin, African .....

I guess why country is not so big, certainly in the UK, is we have our own traditional music scene and that is a lot bigger, and a lot more vibrant.

I really liked "I Want My Tractor Back..." :icon_lol:

I'll only vote if Weird Al Yankovic is included... :icon_twi:

Hmm, I did not vote; or alternatively, I vote for all of them. Yep, I listen to classical music almost exclusively but also look for the unfettered freedom of music made without electronic blast mechanisms. I gives a 'A' for all but Weird Al Yankovic, who needs no help from me.

:medals: :guinness:

[SpitXIV]

My vote goes to Weird Al Yankovic, but I do like Let's Twist Again with the Country Sisters. Although the the
head swinging from the lady to the right makes me dizzy. :icon_lol:
