Academy for Jewish Religion Current Non Country Singing Artist Singing Paper Task 21 (4/27)

Country today is a mainstream genre, attracting many artists to explore its sound.
We discussed Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, and how they currently sing pop, but still have very powerful traditional country voices.

Can you find another example of a current non-country artist singing a “traditional” country song with a country sound?

Post a link to the song here.

Task 22 (4/27)

In the 60s and 70s, genres like “Country Rock” or “Southern Rock” blended the sounds of Country, Rock, and R&B

1. Name a band who is known for this type of sound.

2. Post one song that demonstrates more of their Rock/R&B sound, and one song that demonstrates more of their Country sound.

3. Pretend I’ve never heard of this band and you want to get me hyped up. How might you explain what I’m about to hear when I listen to the songs you posted? (Please use terms and ideas like the ones we have been focusing on in class)
