Bulls eye.
And not one of these God and Country frauds were willing to perform at Trumps inauguration. After Brooks reneged they all bailed.
But you will always have your faithful truck.
Hell today’s country stars probably drive Electric Trucks.
It's about the only place a person might get to hear Loretta Lynn... or Ernest Tubb, or Lefty Frizzell, or...
Outsiders with expensive suits have "ruined" county music a bunch of times, usually with the help of county musicians having a hankering for their own expensive suits. Someone generally resuscitates it and starts the whole cycle over again.
She’s right
“well, you can only loose your wife, kids, dogs so many time before it gets old”
They’re always lyin’, cryin’ or dyin’.
We have been watching The Andy Griffith Show on Netflix. I am really enjoying the episodes that feature music.
THANK YOU! When the news goes off after Rush, I turn it off because I know that nail-on-the-chalkboard song is about to come on. Then I forget to turn Sean back on. So essentially, I haven't much listened to Sean since he started playing that stupid song.

George Strait sang that the music must have “twang”.
Today’s “country” doesn’t
I remember when it was country, Western and Hawaiian. I have no idea how the latter got into country but it did.
She is right BTW.
It all sounds like pop.
country music has always evolved.. what Loretta Lynn sang in the 60’s and 70’s was a lot different from country music from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s
WZAZ where disco lives forever.
The roadhouse is one of mine as well.
148 the OTR station is usually my first touch on startup.
