If it's not your thing it's not your thing I suppose. The trouble is though that you're viewing it as one genre. Country music's probably been kicking about as long as rock 'n' roll, if not longer. Like jazz and blues there are so many fusions and sub-genres which have popped up in the many decades it's been around - there's much much more to it than line-dancing to Achey Breaky Heart and Dolly Parton bemoaning lost love, and that's how it appeals to me.

I'll check the Byrds album out
Good man I can hook you up with a link if you have any trouble finding it (should be easy though - it's a very popular album).

Low Life is a fantastic album, as are Power Corruption and Lies and Republic. I'm a big fan of Get Ready too. Great band, even if their last album was full of shite - shame they don't seem to get much attention around here.
