Nashville Country Singers

I've heard some good singers occasionally screw up a word or two in a cover song, but "Hits of '69" by the Nashville Country Singers takes the cake. Apparently, nobody bothered to give these folks copies of the lyrics to the songs they were expected to sing. Combine that with flat music and off-key vocals and you have what was certainly one of the most exciting new albums of the year.

Check out how the Country Singers butcher two of my favorite songs. On "Aquarius", the moon is no longer in the seventh house, but the serpent's house. Then the phrase "no more falsehoods or derisions" somehow becomes -- get this -- "thunderbolts of long duration". Whoa! But that's nothing compared to what they do to "Proud Mary". Incredibly, they don't even sing the phrase "Proud Mary" once throughout the entire song. Among other flubs, these guys "seen a lotta plays in Memphis" and "Humped a lotta grain in New Orleans". I don't know what they were taking in Nashville back in 1969 but I sure want some for my next party.

I'm wondering when these country music imposters are gonna dissappear. So many new stars, its like MTV country style. its a shame that the pop and rock charts are so full of garbage that these clowns use the cover of country music to get airplay for their sad attempt at music artestry. Shame on Music Row for selling out Country Music to these so called New country artists!! (09-10-2004)

THE MOON IS IN THE SERPENT'S HOUSE! I just bought a copy of this one - paid a whole dollar for it. If the rest of the tracks are as good as Aquarius and Proud Mary I'll have gotten my money's worth! (09-06-2004)
