If I owned my own radio station, I would play:
Bob Wills
Ray Price
Johnny Bush
Buck Owens
Merle Haggard
George Jones
Willie Nelson (Everything Before "On the Road Again")
Faron Young
Louvin Bros.
Webb Pierce
Red Steagall
Earnest Tubb
That is Country Music.
Excellent playlist.
I won't speak to the author's political commentary (because he's clearly talking out of his ass), but he is right about one thing: 98% of the "Country" music that is played on the radio these days is pure dreck.
