Country music definitely needs more songs about trucks, tractors and rodeos.

I listen to a channel on XM called "Outlaw Country" all day every day at work. (XM channel 12) It's great... lots of music like the kind you mentioned.

Yea,I don't listen to country music like I use to. Not that there isn't some good songs out there,its just that you have to wait so long for one. Its not worth the time. I really like the old stuff,and why not I'm pretty old myself(-; People are always comparing the voices of different singers and I'm not denying that can be important. But there are singers that do not have great voices that really grab me. They have some other intangible that I'm not smart enough to put into words. A good example would be Ernest Tubb. He was never accused of having a good voice. The man was frequently off key and could not hold a note if his life depended on it. But he is still one of my all time favorites. People who know about this stuff say he influenced Hank Williams,Merle Haggard and many others. Perhaps someone more computer savvy than me could link to a couple of his songs.
