Not that I care, but I’m entertained by what I heard what kind of “country” that Beyonce was delivering. I tried to find some of the tracks on Youtube, and in the process came across this Ludacris Praises FEARLESS Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Album. I clicked on it and it was mostly Ludacris talking about himself. To be fair the interviewer was asking the questions, but I couldn’t get beyond Ludacris to get to Beyonce. I finally got to a page where I could preview all the tracks.The first track was called AMERIICAN REQUIEM. No it’s not a typo. Beyonce has added an extra “i” to American, but maybe she’s talking about something else. The song gives no clues either way. The chorus is thus…
Looka there, looka there now
Looka there, looka there
Looka-looka, looka there, looka there
Looka-looka, looka there, looka there
Looka-looka, looka there, looka there (Oh)
Looka-looka, looka there, looka there (Yeah)
I personally wouldn’t call it country. Maybe it’s Ameriican country? Track two is the Paul McCartney song Blackbird. it’s not what I originally thought it was about, but then I didn’t really think what it was about in the first place. My bad, I guess. It’s not really country in my opinion. Third song = not country. Seems like a rap song. Fourth song skipped it, Fifth track skipped it. The sixth track starts out with a wheezing Willie Nelson announcing “Welcome to the Smoke Hour”.
“Welcome to ”The Smoke Hour” on KNTRY Radio Texas
You know my name, no need to know yours
Now for this next tune, I want y’all to sit back, inhale
And go to the good place your mind likes to wander off to
And if you don’t wanna go, go find yourself a jukebox
Thank you.. ”
Right wing street artist Sabo is not a fan.
Frankly Willie ain’t a good advertisement for smoking anything. He sounds completely out of breath. If I were a Doctor I’d probably say it’s emphysema. An internet search tells me I am correct. While I was looking at this, I saw a Youtube link “Willie Nelson Dead”. I see this shit all the fucking time. There some assholes who make clickbait Youtube videos saying so and so is dead. It’s never true. I don’t know why Youtube doesn’t take them down. It is my fervent hope that the people who make this shit eventually get hoisted on their own petard.
On to track seven, “Texas Hold Em”. This is the first country sounding track. It even has a banjo in it. The image on the page for this is quite risque. Some of the lyrics are..
You can leave your hat on.
“Come pour some sugar on me, honey, too
It’s a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
Don’t be a bitch, come take it to the floor now, woo, ha (Woo)”
Don’t be a bitch…..It wouldn’t be a modern (country) song if it didn’t have the word bitch in it somewhere.
Track ten sees Beyonce rewriting the lyrics of the old Dolly Parton song, Jolene. It wasn’t enough just to sing about how beautiful Jolene was. Beyonce has decided to give her the whole nine yards of the relationship.
Greatest tits. People are asking $500 for this record on Ebay
“Thе games you play are nothing new
So you don’t want no hеat with me, Jolene
We’ve been deep in love for twenty years
I raised that man, I raised his kids
I know my man better than he knows himself (Yeah, what?)
I can easily understand
Why you’re attracted to my man
But you don’t want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (You heard me)”
One gets the feeling that Beyonce will just go ahead shoot Jolene if she doesn’t back off. It’s comical. No doubt she would also shoot the dude in question as well. She’s scary. Don’t fuck with her, ok?
A vinyl record can safely hold roughly 23 minutes per side for a 12″ record. Marc Bolan knows.
There are 27 tracks on this album. I can’t bothered listening to them all. The funny thing is that some people were complaining that the vinyl version of the album didn’t have all the tracks. Welcome to the 1970’s kids!
