I know a lot of your audience here despises anything “mainstream,” but The Hag and all the others I mentioned not only incorporated horns, but did so in a way that one can still hear the vocals very clearly.

No offense to Norm whatsoever. Just when you think this track can't get any weirder… on comes THE TRUMPET. February 28, 2017 @ Robert St February 28, 2017 @ Oh, so you think you know it all about country music, don’t you? By the way Norm said he is still learning something new every day about the Steel Guitar and Ben & Noel were awesome by the way. So when, like Cash, you bring in a trumpet, it’s for color. They lived a wonderful era, set a benchmark, and got it on wax. You’re right, horns were an integral part of The Hag’s sound, although it should be pointed out that said sound sometimes veered more toward jazz (“Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star,” I’d say) before going back to country (“I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink” had that ripping sax solo at the end, and that tune was c-o-u-n-t-r-y).

J. Burke The banjo is a similar story. But I also felt like it was a good opportunity to point out that horns do have a history in country music way before Sturgill or any other modern artist. Merle’s song “Are the Good Times Really over” is a great example of horns belonging in country music. Your email address will not be published. I like horns, especially when they’re well done, and hate to hear of another country music veteran passing.

11:02 am. The album didn’t even make it into my Top 10 for 2016. Cody Jinks is on fire, and he’s as country as it gets. Many of us use a rather unscientific method in gauging a songs genre, that is we use our ears and go with gut feeling. Trigger 1:27 pm, You said it’s hard to imagine a saxophone in a bluegrass song with it simply being a novelty, but listen to the song “Forty Days” by the Devil Makes Three, its got a sax and it’s not just for novelty or giggles, it adds to the song and makes it more appealing and real. 9:44 am, Brian I love the Devil Makes Three, but they are not bluegrass. And horns? Thank you for music history lesson. Alison Krauss – ” It’s Goodbye And So Long To You ” from her new album All around you feels like a doo-op song out of the fifties, and it would be difficult to classify a song like between the lines as country. Mule The trumpet was probably the least memorable aspect of this booze and football anthem. Chris Stapleton & Justin Timberlake collaboration 4:28 pm. February 28, 2017 @ And when Merle brings in sax, it’s for friendship and Freddy’s affection for jazz. Now for my counterpoint. This is however a fruitless debate. I don’t think it’s only coincidence that Sturgill was so close to Merle near the end, and Sturgill also decided to put horns on his latest album.

No sax player then, so I’m guessing he must have had recently retired. 7:42 pm. A few more great examples : ... Stapleton does a great R & B/Soul cover of Tenesse Whiskey but its far far from a country song (yes I know who wrote it) yet its being pushed to country fans? (I like the question of why flutes and tin whistles didn’t really make it across from Ireland. I do agree that most country music is comprised of mainly stringed instruments, and I understand why people get the notion that horns don’t belong in country. How do you see ‘country’ artists doing r&b or soul while covering Nirvana or reworking classic country songs into a soul tune and marketing it as country fitting into this mono-genre? I thought Norm Hamlet was the longest serving musician in Merle’s band, the Strangers. He has played dobro and steel guitar in the Strangers since 1960.

This song is also the hit on the top of the Billboard for three consecutive weeks from January 9, 1961. Random Notes I don’t remember the exact quote, but Waylon said something in his autobiography about how he loved horns in country music and thought they sounded beautiful. 1:33 pm. 8:53 am. The author of this song is Klaus-Günter Neumann, and it is translated into English by Lincoln Chase. I remain very positive for the future of non-radio, independent country music, and this will help counter-balance the continued rise of the monogenre. Country music has been music from the countryside.

Harpo 12:48 pm. I guess I am partial to horns because I love the Western Swing side of country music too! Regardless of ones tastes marketing EDM as country is just as shitty as marketing R&B Soul Blues as country. February 28, 2017 @ Merle obliged, seeing it as an opportunity to put a little bit of that Bob Wills magic behind his music, and a friendship was born. When there is a distinct lack of good country out there in the mainstream its a bit of a piss off when talented people (like Sturgill) run off to play Bruno Mars or something. Horns are an integral part of blues music, blues from the late 1800’s heavily influenced country music. Yeah, that some jazzy, R&B garbage that has no place in By God country music dammit.
