There's some really incredible stuff out there, which obviously you haven't heard. Jay Farrar, Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, Brent Best....all excellent vocals. I could keep going, but I won't. Just trying to open some minds.... waikiki These are all great artists you just ain't goina here em on to many Country stations. They're busy playing all that New Country (sounds like disco country to me)!
