I'm proud to be a Southern Country kinda guy. I like to hunt, fish, and listen to country music. I've never really played country, though. I've played punk, rock, blues, jazz, praise/CCM, and even hard rock/rapcore, but never country. I can't help but be impressed by some of the country drummers, though. Especially, say, Ben Sesar who plays for Brad Paisley. Since Country fits my personality I think it would be fun to play in a country group. Not so much older country, but more of the Zac Brown, Brad Paisley, Band Perry, etc kinda stuff.
What currently has me all messed up is that I heard on the radio this morning that Zac Brown is playing Phillips Arena on New Years Eve with Levi Lowery. Maybe none of you have heard of Levi Lowery (yet), but I grew up with the guy. We were in scouts together, went to the same church for awhile, and I did some session work for him when he was running a studio. I also played live for him at his first CD release party as an artist. I took issue with him singing some of the lyrics he was (the CD release was held in a church and I didn't feel that some of those lyrics belonged in a church) and told him to change them or I was leaving. He changed them that night, but I think that really upset him and we kinda lost touch over the last few years.
Hearing that on the radio this morning, it made me think, "If I hadn't opened my big mouth, that might be me playing behind him." Oh well, morals are worth more than money.
Anyway, do any of you play behind a county/folk/bluegrass band?
