RIP Tawny Kitaen

[MackTheFinger]

Yeah, I know and I get it. It still struck me as sad. Apparently her father had just died and she was really grieving his loss.

Let me guess, you like both kinds, country and western?? ?

[Plymouthy Adams]

not since 1972........what passes for C&W today would not make a good pimple on JC's butt.....

I gotta agree with that.. I still have friend's playing traditional C&W and bluegrass. If I can find any of their stuff online I'll pass it along.

That's sad......she'll always be part of my 80's experience....."The chick from the White Snake video".....no one could ride a hood quite like she did.

Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys.
 

When I think of C&W. I think of 30’s/40’s swing country. Exactly what would have been playing on the AM radio of our old mopars.

Western Swing ! Great taste. I guess The Maddox Brothers and Rose are not unknown to you

I remember her well from the RATT and Whitesnake days.  Had a crush on her when I was 17.  Pretty sad to die so young.

These are all personal opinions so please take them as such. When I think of C&W I think of the Rolling Stones. I read an interview with Mick Jagger where he said something to the effect, "I love country music but I can't take it seriously. When we do a country song it's always tongue-in-cheek because country music has always been tongue-in-cheek." I sorta see what he meant. Of course things have changed and popular music now just sucks IMO. Of course it wasn't written with my generation in mind.

I had my first exposure to music through my family, particularly my mother; who played guitar like Mother Maybelle and sang in the "high lonesome" style she learned almost 100 years ago now. I wish I had recorded some of our duets but such is life.. they still play in my head.
