r/country

hi Reddit, I have recently been trying to become better at song writing and have been working pretty hard on a few songs. I was wondering if a few folks would listening to one of my songs and let me know what you think. Im not performing in this video, because I suck at playing and singing. I wrote the lyrics and the melody and arranged the song.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks to a fellow Redditor, I was informed that a new country station just recently premiered last month on the radio streaming service, and I have quickly added it to my presets.

It's called Bob Kingsley's Countdown Classics, and the channel essentially plays the late country radio legend's long-running Country Top 40 countdown program. Kingsley died in 2019 at age 80, shortly after announcing that he had bladder cancer.

According to his bio as a 2016 National Radio Hall of Fame inductee, Kingsley began his broadcast career in 1958 in the Air Force. He worked at California stations before hosting the nationally syndicated “American Country Countdown” in 1978. In 2006, established “Bob Kingsley’s Country Top 40,” which was being distributed to more than 320 radio stations at the time of his death.

After listening for about an hour so far, I can happily say that I recommend it! They play lots of great country artists from the past 50 years! Definitely worth checking out!

Been waiting on new music from this man for years now! Singles sound great.

Except i dont like The Dead South for ethical reasons so i gave some other songs too. I just know theyre a more popular reference and dont know what im describing. I don't necessarily like it dark, i like the beat, bluegrass/midwest rock feel. I actually like when theyre singing about bible stuff more but specifically that upbeat banjo rock/swing but still slow.
