What you're listening to is probably just Southern Pop nowadays. Try some REAL Western. This is the only currently touring group I know of that plays a lot of authentic songs, like the one I posted above. If it doesn't have a fiddle, an acoustic guitar, a bass, brushes on the drums, and an occasional yodel, it ain't Western.

[EDIT]To be honest, it isn't my favorite type of music. But I'm familiar with it because my father fancied himself a country singer, so I was around recording studios alot as a young child.[/EDIT]

Hi there, byron...

This song's chorus is one of those that seems to get stuck in my head like a bad ad jingle.

Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy

Happy Happy Happy Happy
Happy Happy Happy Happy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy!



As one of my very young nieces said to me in all earnestness, ....."Happy is fun to be!"

Time after Time was also covered by Eva Cassidy on the TV series Smallville, used on the episode "Crush" during a rainy funeral scene. It was a very well done scene I thought, though I kinda wish they had used the Cyndi Lauper original. I was in high school when that came out, and it, well, brings back some good memories.

Where Western is concerned, there's very little REAL Western left. Haven't heard anyone yodel Western-style in years.

I'm an ol' cowpoke,
I don't use no soap,
I swings a rope,
And eats antelope,
No Sunday thunder's got me buffaloed.
Devastation rides upon my breath,
And I scare the ladies plum ta death,
When I rares back in the saddle
And I lets a yodel go.

Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-ay-ee,
ae-de-oh-de-lay-ee-ee.

Well spin my spurs and kick my rope,
I soaked up too much campfire smoke.
This ol' cowpoke's headin for town.
Yeah I just got paid, my sich is frayed,
This ain't no social call it's a RAID!
I'm an ol' lone wolf with a barb wire tail
And it's my night to howl.

Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-ay-ee,
ae-de-oh-de-lay-ee-ee.

Now some folks say that life is swell,
Some complain it's troublesome.
But I don't care if it's heaven or hell,
I'm gonna have me some fun.

Barkeep, call that a double? (yeah)
Well make mine a double-double. (alright)
Stronger whiskey and weaker women's what I say.
Yeah I'll sit here and drink 'til I get full,
Then try to stop this rodeo bull,
There'll be a whole lotta me that's a bluffin' man
And a whole lotta me that ain't.

Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-ay-ee,
ae-de-oh-de-lay-ee-ee.

Weeeeelll, bustin' bottles and flyin' lead,
They broke a porch o' furniture over my head.
I had quite a time last night, that's what I hear. (Shore did, Slim)
But the mornin' comes and the sun's gettin' brighter.
I'm snakin' cross this prarie like a spider...hehehe.
I hope the sherriff ain't takin' the trail I'm makin,
Back to wherever-it-is.

Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-oh-de-lo-oh-yo-di-lay-ee-ae-ee,
Yo-di-lay-ee-ay-ee,
ae-de-oh-de-lay-ee-ee.

"Hey there" yourself Byron! :-D

I remember the song very well, but I prefer Bobby McFerrin and Yo-Yo Ma together on "Hush".

Roll out the barrel
We'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel
We've got the blues on the run.
Zing! Boom! Tar-rar-rel
Ring out a song of good cheer!
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gang's all here.

I was listening to C&W long before most folks up North knew it existed. One of the oldest FM Country stations is in Troy New York. WGNA-FM 107.7.

I did my stint with early rock (bubble gum) and soon switched to Folk Music (Cat Stevens, and such) and before I knew it I was listening exclusively to Country..

Now I do mellow out listening to Celtic Folk music :) (trying to learn Gaelic so I can understand it)....

Country Music has it's roots in the Soutern Portion of the US. Trace back the ancestery of most of the South and you'll end up in Ireland or the Scotish Highlands.

This is of course discounting the Western Influence. Remember it was called Country AND Western long before it was shortened to just Country.

Southern Rock has the original rock sound with a Country Influence. Bands like Charlie Daniels Band, .38 Special, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and even The Eagles all make up Southern Rock.
