Definitely do yourself a favor and check out Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson or Loretta Lynn if you get the chance. Those were some of the real movers and shakers in country and for good reason.

I agree. I don't really think what is marketed as "country" these days is country. Country was a form of American folk, really, with narratives. The music currently labeled country just strikes me as twang-pop...pretty much identical to any mainstream radio pop, but with Southern accents.

I like Johnny Cash. I named my band (Black Cash) after him and the way I sometimes sing like him when Im not very confident.

Well there you go! He was a country guy who appealed to more than just hicks and he started making records 40 years before Billy Ray Cyrus.

Yeah, that's very true, but to be fair, Billy Ray was just a bit more 'in fashion'. Johnny is a legend, more than Billy Ray will ever be. But we're differing from the point of my last entry, which was that I hate pop 'singers'.

He was? I was in high school when "Achy Breaky Heart" came out and I can assure you that neither he nor the song nor the hilarious mullet he sported back then were considered particularly hip at the time.

He's more fashionable than Cash to younger audience is what I meant.
