Specifically, the two songs I'm thinking "This Charming Man" and "Shakespeare's Sister".

Good ear. Alt-country artist Bobby Bare Jr. did a cover of This Charming Man on his recent solo debut. Actually, his solo album was very alt-country, I'm not sure if his band Bare Jr. would qualify for that tag.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by thirsty moore:<BR><B>Specifically, the two songs I'm thinking "This Charming Man" and "Shakespeare's Sister".</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

By liking that Robbie Fulks album and not liking the Bare Jr, perhaps you have demonstrated a good ear for separating the good alt-country from the bad.<P>Of course I prefer the twisted country stuff of Robbie fulks to the pop/rock stuff, but both have their merits in my book.<P>Don't care much for Bare Jr with or without his band, though I think i did hear one solo song I liked.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by markie:<BR><B> I listened and immediately burst out into a laughing fit that I had difficulties in stopping.....<P></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

The guitar licks in the songs owe a lot to fast country guitar picking.  You can hear a lot of that style in rockabilly/honky-tonk.<P>  <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by markie:<BR><B> I really dont see it myself.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><p>[This message has been edited by thirsty moore (edited 01-21-2003).]

The Bare Jr was one of the worst smiths covers I have heard though.<P>the robbie fulks might as well be rock as alt-country. I personally couldnt really make the distinction.<P>Perhaps rock in America has become a dirty word associated with Creed, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi and Ratt........

Morrissey was always a big rockabilly fan, right? Or did he just like the looks of the guys who played it?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by thirsty moore:<BR><B>The guitar licks in the songs owe a lot to fast country guitar picking.  You can hear a lot of that style in rockabilly/honky-tonk.<P>  <P>[This message has been edited by thirsty moore (edited 01-21-2003).]</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
