The truth is, if Toby goes after artist who write their own music, he will do great. I used to listen to country all the time, but most of what is out today is made for video and George Strait type guys get pushed out. Sure Alan Jackson and George Strait along with Keith get played, but I have to wade through 15 crappy songs by a bunch of phonies.
Give me stuff like Pat Green and Jerry Jeff Walker heck even guys like Dwight Yoakum and Randy Travis sang great country. This new stuff suuuuuuuuucks!

Lol... you sound a lot like my husband.
He likes Pat Green (and Big and Rich), but prefers the 'classic' country; Glenn Campbell, Merle Haggard, Waylon & Willie, Marty Robbins, David Alan Coe and Hank Williams are among his favorites.
You know, I have no idea why I even mentioned that... maybe I'm guessing you wouldn't sleep tonight w/out knowing his favorite country artists... ?

Pat Green's latest stuff is not that good. He is slowly getting pulled into that Nashville pop crap
Cory Morrow, Ed Burleson, Max Stallings, Mark David Manders, Gary P Nunn, Jerry Jeff......yeah....that is the good stuff.

On the righ hand side...scroll down and click on the picture of the Ed Burleson CD. It should play the songs off of his latest.
"pure, traditional country music"
- Tom Geddie, No Depression
"(Burleson is) hard country in the old style of ... Buck Owens, Ray Price (and) Johnny Bush."
- Chris Morris, Billboard
"Ed Burleson may be too country for Nashville, but not for Texas"
- Rob Patterson, Dallas Observer
Burleson is the genuine hard stuff. A former rodeo cowboy, The Texan singer serves up uncut honky-tonk reverie about the untamed life, along with regrets in jealousy and bad choices made. With tips of the Stetson to Hank and Buck, of Cajun fiddle here and pumped-70 pedal steel there, Burleson's songs hark a prehomogenized era when country music could actually sound dangerous, but sweet. --
