General Music Chat

Listening to some old tune with my buddies this Colin Jessie Young song got us into an animated discussion regarding in what genre it belongs, some said its Bluegrass, others said Celt, some others said country or 70s Rock.

The question it’s still open any suggestions?

The father genre would be country.

the sub-genre could be anything like folk rock, electric folk, whatever...

Depends who does the song I guess. Eric Burdon and Robert Plant both covered it, Burdon's definitely rocks the most. It's an interesting song regardless of genre. Thinking about adding it to your repertoire?

It's good music ... that's what genre' it is.

I've heard it described as Celtic-rock, or folk-rock.

Good tune, though.

No Bob we like the song but we don’t think it lends itself to a Saturday night crowd coming out to have good time, the song has an underlined sad motif to it plus it’s very hard to dance to it I think.

This is a song to be performed IMO in a concert setting which my band doesn’t hired for that purpose.

RG and Phil more or less described the song’s genre the same way we did, Sand said best it’s just good music regardless the genre.
