Your musical influences
The greatest country artist in my opinion is Merle Haggared, whose band and songing voice are reported on in major music media,even outside the country genre.What equipment do you use?
I tse the simplist equipment which will do the job. No fuzz foolishness. Fender bassman amps, and two marshall 4 by 12 cabinets No foolishness,just music. We do music, will not destroy a guitar to please the teen agers. MusicAnything else?
Real country music, warts and all. Danceable,rythmic, melodic, beer drinking honkeytonk stuff, no vulgarity!
