/\ I think thats because your idea of country music is damaged. Country music isn't born to the south, its actually very much in the vein of celtic folk music.

To me, the NYC country singers suck far less because their less influenced by the Nashville shlock thats, as Elvis Costello once said, modern country is just journey in cowboy hats.

Just because you sing about "southern values" and have an accent, a country star that does not make you.
