Comment:
Country Rock: An Idiosyncratic History July/September 2006 Page 5/12What is Country-Rock anyway? There are four views:
1. Country-Rock is country music refined through rock sensibilities.
".those who saw country rock as young longhaired musicians adapting a traditional country music form with a little more emphasis on the rhythm: country music refined through rock sensibilities, attitude and experience. It was rock and rollers, or people who had that look, playing Merle Haggard, Buck Owens,. They looked rock & roll, but played country."
(Chris Hillman) "Country Rock involves taking white blues and adding more backbeat, more emphasis on the rhythm section, adding the ingredient of the black emphasis on the rhythm; giving the white man a little more rhythm, which he desperately needed."
(Graham Parsons) "Cosmic American Music, a bridge between the redneck and the hippie" (all above from Desperado, p.12)
"(Parsons) . presented country music played by musicians who looked like rock musicians, like hippie rock musicians, even." (emphasis in original) (From Eight Miles High, p 178)
".very country in our own West Coast sort of younger-than-a-lot-of-the-musicians-in-Nashville kind of way." (From Eight Miles High, p 183/4)
