I really like Hank jr, Johnny cash, Drive-by truckers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Earl Keen, as well as plenty of bluegrass.
A friend who is a devout country top 40 listener recently invited me over. The whole fam was watching the country music awards (month or so ago). I was a little pre-disposed to not like "pop" country, but figured "how bad could it be?". WOW.
The parade of pretty boys and semi supermodels was astounding. Having been a musician and songwriter for several years, I can tell you that a pretty face and real musical talent seldom go together.(the exception being me of course )
The music seemed as pop as Brittany Spears or Katie Perry, with the very occasional not-so-pretty band or artist who obviously had real talent, too talented to be shut out of the event.
After sitting through the award show, I suggested my friend maybe listen to some music I like.
I introduced said friend to 91.9wfpk (local public radio) and pandora (Josh ritter, elbow, citizen cope, cold war kids, damien rice, david byrne, dawes, death cab, feist, florence and the machine, etc...)
After maybe a week of listening to "my" music, She made the comment that, "after listening to all of your music, country all sounds the same".
She just monday came back from a Tim Mcgraw and Kenney Chesney concert in Cincy (already had tickets or I bet she wouldn't have gone). Said that, "Both those guys are just these pretty boys and that Brett Michaels showed up to Put the finishing touch on the ********* fest"
If you are addicted to pop country: please, get help before it's too late, before you have shelled out good money just to end up looking at some doodybag in tight jeans and Brett Michaels mandana and bad hair extensions......
*YES, guess I am trolling......maybe! Sorryplease, tell me I'm wrong!*
