I go back to when Country was Country & Western. Back in the depression, scores of singers did homey little radio show - if they were lucky - and most just toured in broken down old trucks and buses. I actually could name a dozen or more, but I’ll leave research to you and hope you get an education about what kind of heritage Country actually has and what it meant to millions of people walking beans, milking cows (by hand) or working cattle on some dust bowl ranch. This music was the music of the people. Unpolished and full of their sorrows, joys and struggles. Today, it’s mostly rock with a steel guitar thrown in and some clown with a bent up hat he thinks look worn all proper with store-bought sweat stains.

Thanks for trying, Newb.
