Gab & Jam Episode 61- “Old Town Road” Number One For 8 Weeks

Gab & Jam Episode 61: “Old Town Road” Number One for 8 Weeks?! This one is hot off the presses. Everywhere we look, we see folks sharing—and, more importantly, listening—to Lil Nas X’s hit, “Old Town Road.” No matter how you feel about it as a musician/songwriter/artist, it has caught on like wildfire. What does that mean for those of us who create—and consume—music from now on? Check out our discussion. (If you prefer to listen, check out the podcast: ) Considerations: • Country genre??? • Is there an assumption that it took less talent? (took only half hour to make) • Impact on songwriters’ practices and what it takes to make a hit? • Country kerfuffle? o Resistance leads to support (Billy Ray Cyrus and our daughter) o Resistance leads to more hate? • Melody there? • “The inmates running the asylum?” • Weird example of the D.I.Y. Rock Star ethos • Appropriating cowboy culture?? What do you think? How do you feel about the massive success of this song? We’d love to hear about it. Tell us your opinion in the comments below.
