Country artists are out there. Commercial radio wants no part of Johnny “Whiskey River” Bush or Billy Joe Shaver or Wayne Hancock.
There’s a documentary about Shaver’s life called ‘A Portrait Of Billy Joe’ that came out a few years ago that’s really great viewing if you’re a fan, in case you havent seen it.
I really wish country radio would make a little room for the real artists in the genre. I get a little sick of slick pop with a drawl, you know?
