I just listened to Accidental Racist as I followed the lyrics. It may be a white guilt trip, but is sure ain't country/western. If you've forgotten what CW sounds like, listen to the following tunes. Brad Paisley couldn't hold a candle to any of them.

• Oakie Boogie--Jack Guthrie & His Oklahomans

• Icy Heart--Bill Haley & the Saddlemen

• Going to Find Me a Bluebird--Marvin Rainwater

• Boogie Woogie Blues--Charline Arthur

• No Help Wanted--The Carlisles
