Thanks for all those links....

I think I can honestly say that I can't see myself buying any country music in the near future!

Stone: i tried.

yup, not your fault Null, it's the genre's!

Don't want to overwhelm you Stone but here's what you get when you mix Irish folk and American folk/country.

Overwhelm? As much as I love bluegrass, even I can't stand listening to that.

Well,some people say that they like some country music but not if it's too twangy, but for me, the twangier the better. Fast pickin' banjo, dobro, and fiddle, yeehaw!

I like bluegrass but I hate what has passed for country music for the past 30 years. That "urban country" stuff just leaves me cold. But I don't like easy-listening music in *any* genre much. The radio stations that are supposedly programmed for women in my demographic just put me to sleep....

Sarge, you mentioned Raul Malo. I totally loved his first solo album. Well, okay, maybe it was because he sang a bunch of stuff in Spanish, rrowrrrr! We've seen him in concert a few times -- my friend has a serious jones for Raul -- and in one concert, Raul said that every song in Spanish is about getting laid. Unfortunately, his most recent work is tending toward the soft-jazzy stuff that a lot of singers are doing now. My friend loves that stuff, but for me -- urgh.

Julie and I saw the Mavericks by happenstance. Junior Brown opened for them and we went to see him. they were fantastic. country music has a void where they you to be. too bad Raul has gone soft jazz, he has a great voice for belting out songs.
