a country girl

Posted over 2 years ago
They have these rules in Nashville, and one of them used to be that a female country artist couldn't be too sexy, because most country-music buyers were women, and they wouldn't rally around a girl who was overtly hot.I can't pinpoint it exactly, but around Shania Twain-time, that conventional wisdom turned around (although there was some residual prejudice even then: one Nashville-based female friend used to mock Shania's breakthrough hit as "Whose Bed Have My Boobs Been Under"). Now there are all these women on CMT vamping up a storm. Sometimes it's like watching a downhome version of Cinemax, with these women doing shots, dancing on bars, seducing guys, getting revenge on ex-boyfriends.The other night I was flicking my remote and came upon this video. It's a pretty conventional country song in the why-do-I-always-fall-for-the-bad-boy genre, but Danielle Peck is, I have to say, quite the babe.

    dachmo says Nope, can't do it. Every single modern country song sounds the same to me. She sure is pretty though!

    fistula spume says If you watch it with the sound off it looks like any other crummy video. She is pretty though. Oh modern country... Wha happa? Why is country slowly becoming plain ol' pop music? A lot of the women at my work like her.

    emscee says It's not all like this (contemporary country, that is), but so much of what comes out of Music Row is cookie-cutter stuff. I just posted this to point out how the anti-hot chick rules have changed in Nashville, and now they're packaging sex just like the pop world. I do really like Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, The Wreckers...

    scotfree says Many of my friends, relatives and aquiantances are big fans of modern country. My observation is that most of these folks have quit looking for anything new or enlightening about music. But they all have radios in their cars. They just want a nice twang to accompany the party, an attractive face to present the music to them, and something they can sing along with when the urge hits. And the industry still found a way to get into their wallets! What better mode to accomplish this goal than to put the mutant crossbreed of every Eagles/Doobie Brothers on constant twist shuffle? Then, recruit an attractive Elle Mae (or muscular Jethro) for the visual. Like buying Dad a Christmas necktie - might be a different color, but it's what he expects. Voila! Instant income! Ya gotta admire that entrpreneurial spirit

    lucystarlite says i think the music industry goes thru cycles, and most of it is generated by marketing. if the hot girl wasn't selling to women who were the primary buyer of modern country than plain jane will be shown. we see the opposite affect in the pop and rock world where the female artists are valued more for their looks than their vocal chops, or musical abilities. of course, there is that bias that exist in the music fan/critic elite where if you are too pretty to look at you are not given enough musical credit or talent consideration. the whole thing kind of turns my stomach a bit. be hot, be cute, be plain, be three headed with antlers for legs, just make good music. lucy.

    contrabandwidth says Country and R&B (Urban Music, to your less hip record stores) is the exact same beast, just one has fiddles, and the other a deeper bass line. We used to laugh at the store I worked at, because the Country and R&B sections were the only sections that required the artists picture on the sleeve. I'm pretty sure that recently (though I don't have a specific example), some R&B tracks have been re-recorded by country artists (read Black artists music re-recorded by White artists) and have been huge hits. It's a shame, because some of the best musicians are just making a living being studio musicians for this soul-less music.

    Bartleby says Among all the serious voices above about contemporary country (which is terra incognita for me)dare I add a lad comment? This Danielle looks she could be a page-3 or centrefold... To tell you the truth, whether she is a visual or aural pleasure, I'm not really arsed. But hey, if there is a market...

    emscee says For my $$, none of these Hooters girls is fit to carry Tammy Wynette's make-up kit. My God, could she break your heart, or what? And say what you might about Dolly Parton's anatomy, that coolclear voice and those perfectly wrought songs are the real thing. Not to mention Wanda Jackson, Emmylou Harris, Patsy...
