To me, this partly reflects the disconnect between Nashville “country” (a/k/a overproduced pop music with guitars) and real country music, which by and large you do not hear on the radio

The local country pop station around here plays less real country music than the local classic and southern rock station. I hear more Charlie Daniels on the classic rock station than I do the country station.

Of course, that's OK, because I really like the classic rock too.

Well Jesus walked on the water
And I know that its true
But some of these preacher on TV
Would like to do a little walking too
But I asking nobody for nothin’
If I cant get it on my own
If you dont like the way I’m living
Just leave this long haired country boy alone

There’s nothing wrong with Classic Rock (except I pretty much grew up with it and I’m pretty much tired of it by now). I discovered that more interesting music existed by the way of Texas Hill Country music, Delta blues, country swing, barroom honky-tonk, and Cajun fiddle tunes, among others. The problem is, when I turn on the local “country” FM stations, all I hear is: Rascal Flatts, Lonestar, Faith Hill,
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Even Toby Keith seems to have become too “country” for Country radio.
