Tyler Barrick Music

This song I listened to this week is Long Tall Sally. I really like the rhythm of this song. It is very upbeat and very catchy. You can definitely see the black gospel music touch in this song. This song is starting to sound a little more modern but steel gots that old-time feel, with the jazz feel in it. I feel like his singing is more wild and different than most singers in that day. Especially his live performances are a lot more wild. Will the shouting style as he sings and the Whoops, and then when he plays the piano he is standing. This was all very surprising to see this and to see that this is how rock 'n roll started out. The song brings a lot of energy to the room. Even though my favorite genre is country and this sounds nothing like it, I still like the way it sounds and enjoy listening to this song. I feel like the target audience for this song is all ages except the grandparents of that day.

The song I picked was Waiting for a Tain. I like the way this song sounds. I like how it is a mix of country and blues. The brass instruments is what makes it feel a little like the blues I think it a pretty good story told through the lyrics. I feel like the story is very applicable for the day. It may be a little slow though. The guitar goes very well with the lyrics. I feel like the guitar is what makes it feel country, and same with the yodeling. I think my favorite [ae of the song is the yodeling. Just because its something that you don't really hear nowadays and it's kinda funny to hear. The reason I like this music is because of the country feel it has.  I feel like the target audience for this song are those that can relate to the story he tells.

The song I choose this week was "I Got Rythm." You can tell that Ethel Merman is a belter, by how loud she sings. Sometimes I feel like it is a little too much though. I also not the biggest fan of how fast she say "who could ask for anything more." I feel like it is different from most of the music of that day that we have listened to in class.  I'm not sure how much I like how loud and quick it starts up. I feel like it could build up a little bit better, but it is a little catchy and sounds like some good music that people in the past would like to dance. I also don't really like how repetitive it is. I feel like the music and the lyrics interact with each other very well. They are both very upbeat and loud. well, I feel like the trumpets are very upbeat within the chorus. But during the verses, the piano is quite and goes really well with the lyrics. I feel like this song is a positive vibe to it and makes you feel a little better as you listen to it. I

The Song I chose to listen to was "Soldier Joy" by Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers. I kind of like the way it sounds. I know it this type of song is dance music, and can feel it a little bit as my head starts to nod as I listen to it. I feel like the music and the lyrics interact really well with each other. The music is very fast past and the crazy, random lyrics fit in real well, making it fun to listen to. That being said the lyrics are pretty surprising, by how random I feel they are. I feel like the reason why I kind of like this music is because my favorite kind of music is country music, and I feel like this is or gets pretty close to country music. With the twangy voice of the singers, and with the same kind of instruments usually used within country music. I really like the fiddle in this song, but I also feel like I start to get sick of hearing the fiddle towards the end. So, they could use a little less of the fiddle. I feel like the target audience for this son

My name is Tyler Barrick, I am from New Harmony Utah and love to be outdoors. My favorite music to listen to is country music. Some of the more modern country music is alright, but I really like the country music in the 1990's through the early 2000's era. I feel like the country music now days has moved to being more pop than how it sounded in the 1990's. Some of the artist that I like around that time is Alan Jackson, George Strait, Tim Mcgraw and Randy Travis. I feel around this time period was when country music really took off. It just makes you feel good when you listen to it.
