I know you said you don't like country, but pick up
Red Dirt Road by Brooks & Dunn. Also try
Only in America. Believe me, these guys are good.
My favorite music always had a little country backbeat in it. Most artists are flakes. Willie Nelson was supporting Dennis Kuchinich (or however you spell his name). Jimmy Buffett is a Rat, but I'll listen to his music anyway.
Thanks for the recommendations. (I thought Brooks and Dunn were libs, for some reason -- I could be wrong.) I knew Buffett was a rat, because during our state elections two years back a taped message from Buffett on Siegleman's behalf was placed on lots of folks answering machines, ours included.
We recently visited the establishment which inspired the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise". It WAS a good cheeseburger. :-)
