Country Rock: An Idiosyncratic History July/September 2006
Page 6/12

What is Country-Rock anyway? There are four views:

2. Country-Rock is rock tinged with a country feel.

"Some took their country music with a rock & roll chaser. Some musicians approached country rock not from the country side but from rock music, adding country instrumentation to create a wholly original concept: rock with country textures."

(Ian Tyson) "What we were doing was expressing our love and respect for the real vital country music of the times."

(Richie Furay) "Some people define country-rock from a lyrical standpoint, but I define it from the musical aspect. it was the collection of musical instruments and the way they were played that gave it a certain sound."

(Rusty Young) "(Country Rock) took the best of country music, but gave it words that a young person could relate to." (all above from Desperado, p.13/14)

(Jim Messina) ".it all started to melt there for a while. We could bring folk lyrics in to country music. Being in the South, having long hair was not a good thing. We got bad, bad looks and bad, bad remarks. We could have said `Those people are creeps'. Instead we chose to say `Let's share our lyrics, let's write country-rock. .we can bridge the gap" (From Eight Miles High, p 202)
