Just realized that Alabama may be responsible for Bro Country

Just listen to "Dixieland Delight". What are they singin' about? Grabbing their girl, going down a country road, parkin' in a holler, smokin' a joint, and lovin' southern livin' and white bro country stereotypes.
You don't get more "Bro Country" than Dixieland Delight.
Am I wrong?

Great song. I would never classify Alabama as bro country - they were sincere (if often cheesy) and original.
Most of today's popular country artists endlessly recycle the same themes in every song without any effort or originality.

Don't get me wrong, I like Alabama. But if you think about it, Bro Country songs are essentially Dixieland Delight.

It's not the actual lyrics. It's the heart and soul behind the lyrics. And "Dixieland Delight" has more soul in one word than the entire bro country catalogue could ever imagine having.

Alabama sucked so much arse.

Alabama in all it's forms sucks a fat one.

Yes
Songs are more than just words written on a page. Do you think you can link one Bro Country song that sounds like Dixieland Delight?

I liked their really early stuff,but they lost me.
I know their Drummer,he is a pretty cool guy,and a really good drummer.
Have met Randy Owens,and Jeff Cook,but don't really know them.
Many years ago though,when I was first starting writing songs, I sent a demo tape directly to Randy Owens,with some songs I had written.
He actually sent me a hand written letter explaining why he couldn't even listen to my Demo,and gave me the address and phone numbers of some publishers.That was pretty cool of him.

What? Back in those days,when you didn't live in Nashville,or another music industry town. That info was a revelation.That's where we started learning how It works. We didn't have internet,or even a clue about where to get started.
I lived 100 miles from Nashville,and started going there right away as often as I could,pushing demos and taking my licks,doing open mic nights,learning as I went and meeting people.
That letter was disappointing,but also valuable information.

what was his reason for not even listening to it?

I've played with Jeff Cook a few times. He's generally pretty hammered drunk.

Bro country is Motley Crue played with a fiddle and a slide guitar. Hair metal never went away, it just changed genres.

Garth Brooks and Shania Twain are responsible for modern country.

He said that they couldn't accept unsolicited songs from an individual for consideration.
I understand that now,basically,they want it to come from a publisher that they work with.It protects them.

Bro Country is much better than any other country out there. It also made the genre more popular than ever.
