It was called "the '80s".

“Country music today is bad rock with a fiddle.” - Tom Petty
There are many gradations and portrayals of ‘Country Music’.
One interpretation I’ve always enjoyed was from Patsy Cline and her interpretations of other writers music. I don’t know a lot about her. Some of my favorites by Patsy are’
Tennessee Waltz, I Fall to Pieces and the Willie Nelson song; Crazy.
If it ain’t Willie, Merle, Glen, Marty, or Johnny count me out.
but it was the first time I realised there was more to country music than the Benny Hill theme tune.
That was done by The Earl Scruggs Review. The author is a barbarian.

The angst, the grunge generation should be sued for appropriation.
If it isnt about your wife, your dog, or your truck then it isnt country.
Yeah, it is. Sometimes it's more. You get a band like Nine Inch Nails, not country. A writer like Trent Reznor, not country. A cover by Johnny Cash. Mind-blowing. That's Johnny's real wife in that, BTW.
Somebody asked me a couple weeks ago what my favorite country song is, I suspect as a joke because she knew my tastes don't usually go that way. This is it: Jack's Defeat Creek. Yeah, there's a story, quite a story. Good stuff.
Isn’t there a certain type of Country Music that uses strings similar to Irish River Dancers? Some may call it Zydeco. A little too noisy and pushy for me, but very popular with some.
There is a lot of cultural crossover going on.
I think its been almost 5 years for me. And yes, I love the pop country. Even as it really does have overused words like beer, truck, radio, etc, Im crazy for it and listen nearly every day. You talk radio dudes better be interesting or Ill switch to the Highway on Sirius. Pop country makes me feel good. That is good enough for me. My indie and hard rock loving kids think I am weird and simple but I dont care. And I still love rock and mot other kinds of music too. But I love the sound and the world of country. And 5 years ago, the country performers were proud to stand for conservative values. That apparently is gone. They are either lefties or closeted now. But the fact that they made conservative sided jokes at then CMAs helped convert me. Wish they still would.
I said, no there's not.

But it sure didn’t take him too long.”

The whole left’s view of country people is based on deliverance.
I can’t even imagine a more insulting way to intro an article.
Disgusting.

George Strait is the King of Country Music. He’s got that smirk as if knows he’s the best; and everybody else knows it, too.
