No, I think Maines truly blew it. They were a cleverly packaged Nashville act who could have continued to make quality pop/country records and made big bucks. But she blew it. All I'm saying is that their talent isn't remarkable. There are teenage bluegrass pickers in Nashville that will pick circles around all of them, and studio demos filled with singers as talented as Maines. She had an industry connection, which is why she got the gig with the other two, and with the expertise and polish of a Nashville record label behind them, voila.

That's true enough. I know a guy (owns a small painting company) who played bar league softball on our team last year.
'Cowboy George' and man what a very talented singer. He has four guys working for him, and once or twice a year (when he has a few dollars) he heads for Nashville to record a demo of one of his own songs. Never got the big break, but he is very popular locally, is well liked and he gets plenty of entertainment jobs.
I wish him well, he may never or probably will never get the 'big break' but he's happy singing and being who he is.

And Cowboy George is a character.
