My Favorite Genre

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.

Waiting for a Train

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.

week 8

The song I choose this week was Don't think twice by Bob Dylan. I think it is really cool how he can play the guitar, play the harmonica and sing. He doesn't have the best voice but has good lyrics. Many people thought this was a love song but Dylan said it was a statement that you cools say to make yourself feel better. I guess it could be a good song to make your self feel good who hardship may hit your life. Dylan wrote this after his girlfriend went off to Italy study at the University of Perugia and left him in New York. This song doesn't have much of a change to the rhythm or beat. It is just kinda the same tune the whole time but it does song pretty good. I feel like the instruments stuck with being pretty traditional in this song This song makes me feel relaxed and a little reflective. I enjoyed listening to this song and hear the style of Bob Dylan. Its pretty cool how much of an influence he had on music.

Week 9

The song I chose to write about this week is, "Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver." I enjoy listening to the songs by John Denver. I know a lot of people in his day didn't like the way he was taking country music but I like it. I find it interesting that part of the reason why he wrote this song was to show that he was a country singer and that he was proud of it. In the song, he talks about the simple way of life a country boy has, and talks about how much he enjoys it. There are also some funny lyrics to the song such as "And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy." He sings a little softer than a lot of the country singers in that day. H also really good with the guitar. I do see that the way he sings country music is different but still not sure why people didn't like the way he was taking it. The song makes me feel happy and helps me see the joys of being a country boy. I enjoyed listing to the song...
