PRIMUS has somekind of bluegrass going on... apart from them, I think I never heard such thing as progressive rock with a touch of "country" music. ------------- ˇBeware of the Bee! |

| Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird, has its proggie moments - as does Outlaws (High Tide & Green Grass - a Freebird inspired number if ever there was one), Molly Hatchett, Marshall Tucker Band, Allmans, and even the Canadian faux country of Neil Young. Happy Christmas. |

I can think of a few good country prog tunes. Jean-Luc Ponty did a great tune called New Country and don't forget Lonesome Cowboy Bert, and Truck Driver Divorce by Zappa. There's also Lightnin" Roy by Mike Keneally. |

Free Bird isn't country at all, may be "proggy" but hardly. Great song but a little overplayed on classic rock stations.

This is a tough one, because country is such a well-defined genre in general (i.e., must originate from Nashville and someone in the band must be somehow related to a Carter, Cash, or Guthrie). Maybe the people who play music that kind of sounds like country, but has its roots elsewhere. For example, Jason & the Scorchers and of course, Johnny Cash ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |

Am I really the only person on this site to have heard Poco's Crazy Eyes ... the 9 1/2 minute symphonic prog meets country masterpiece ... I really must convert it into an mp3 and let people listen to it ... it's an awesome song ... Not to be confused, btw with the band's rambling 18 minute jam El Tonto De Nadie Regressa ... which is more Grateful Dead than prog ... ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!
