What happened to good old Country Pop

Last time I asked for a corny Pop backing and you came up with some good stuff.... Now I'm looking for Country, but I don't want to search through the archives, I want something to come up in the NEW song uploads. It's as if no-one wants to make a good old Line Dancing, Heel Kicking, Hee Hawing Country backing any more.

I have some great lyrics so I just want an easy backing track please.

My lyrics are
"She's got a big, wide mouth and a narrow brain
She's got nothing to say but she says it anyway
She's got a big, wide mouth and a narrow brain
and somebody ought to tell her"

"She's an ever present bore that you can't ignore
She knows how to play a crowd cuz she's pushy and she's loud
She's an ever present bore that you can't ignore
and somebody ought to tell her"

"All that kissing up and hugging is really bugging me now
I'm just one breath away from calling her a stupid cow"

"She's got a big, wide mouth and a narrow brain
She's got nothing to say but she says it anyway
She's an ever present bore that you can't ignore
and somebody ought to tell her"

She acts like everybody is her bosom pal
She cruises and schmoozes, comes across as a real cool gal
But really she's as shallow as the bottom as a dried up canal
She should be tethered together with the big old bull in a little corral

"She's got big white teeth and a welcoming bust
Everybody loves her ... but I ain't fussed
No-one else'll tell her so I guess it must
be me.........

(There's a surprise ending so I'll tell you the rest when I get the right music)

Well that was uploaded as "World" so I would have missed it.
I think it has too much melody to back what I have in mind.... anyway, nothing Frankie does is ever "corny" but thanks LittleWing, I'll see if something more neutral turns up.

might not have corn on it, but it's country style smile if it's too busy, probably can go back to Frankie's original track

I took some lyrical liberties using "some" of shamikas lyrics. Only did so to make it fit my vocal approach. It tells the same story pretty much...Added in to #288453 and #288612 and a drum track I made.. Had some fun...

#288678

I tried pasting the forum thread link in the description and the track links but they don't work....user error I'm sure...anyways credit given..
cheers and thanks for ideas! grin

It works for me. Hey I love what you did there Major 3rd. Now I've got your melody in my head smile



Thanks to Rootshell for the suggestions, we're getting there but again it's a shame they ain't coming up much these days. Jerry does good Country but I like his singing and lyrics on his tracks

I think I had something slower in mind (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) ....as if smile

jlbass5150 Either your Country song is kinda modern or I'm kinda old fashioned but I imagined a good old Line Dancing, Heel Kicking, Hee Hawing Country song might come up when I started the thread smile but thanks for the link.

Yeah. It’s more modern. I’m from Texas. Most of the bands that do country from the Austin area call it Texas Alternative Country. It has more of a pop/rock sound to it.
