Marideth Sisco - High on a Mountain

Now this song (High on a Mountain) has been stuck in my head for several days. It’s another track from “Winter’s Bone”. In the movie it was played in a scene where the protagonist had ended up at the house of someone who knew her father (who she was searching for). And there was this random group of people just sort of jamming on banjos and what-have-you in this person’s house. It was a really neat scene, both in the context of the movie and just for the fact that it showed the actual real musicians.

But anyway, I am still trying to figure out why it is that I like this song (and similar stuff) but can’t stand the majority of country/country-western music. At least not modern country, which for some reason gives me the same weird feeling of simultaneous boredom and claustrophobia that “smooth jazz” does.

Probably because most modern country sucks? (Says someone who grew up on the old stuff, and some sort of not old but not new.) My dad and I used to listen to country (I was the only other one in the family who could stand it) and cuss out the radio when that horrible smooth stuff came on – the stuff that sounds like soft pop with a Southern accent, makes me feel all slimy. I can try to find you some of the good stuff, old and new.
