But... it has given us several hits about Tractors.

See thinks my Tractor's Sexy is one ;-)

How about a group named The Tractors

I can't listen to the stuff any more and at one time, it was all I listened to. It grates my nerves now and what's with the latest batch of theses little voices wearing hats down to their ears making them look absolutely ridiculous or looking as crumby as they sound at any rate.

Hah-Arrow-you hit another sore point- hats over the ears and flat bills! Looks like some of the Nascar boys have the hat disease too- I guess in their case its all "Marketing 101"- have to appeal to the "broad base". Can't wait until a bail bondsman sponsors a car!

By the way- I see you are from RI- your station 98.1 is I think better than Boston's 102.5. I don't know if you can get it but there is a new country station on the Cape-its around 105-high percentage of 80's/90's.

I can listen to Toby Keith, Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton all day. Those guys are good.

Also, don't say nothing bad about Carrie Underwood --- that is one lovely and talented lady.

Bob Wills moved to Sacramento in the later 40's. He had a dance hall not far from where I grew up, "Wills Point". From what I gather, it burnt down in the late 50's. My Grandparents went there ans saw Bob Wills and many other artists of the era.

Around that timeframe, he played in San Francisco and LA; he was pulling bigger crowds that the Big Bands of the day. His cross-over with jazz made him a big draw...

Wow! Bob Wills...I met him in person in about 1943. He was playing in the middle of the street in Pawhuska Oklahoma. I was about 5 years old; my Dad took me up to the gazebo and I got to shake hands with him. I was very impressed; in those days, I was an only child, not in school, living way out in the boonies, so I listened to a lot of radio. Lots of CW music, not to mention Stella Dallas, One Man's Family, Backstage Wife, etc.

It's not only the music that went downhill, the DJ's on the country stations sound like they are pandering to twelve year olds now. I like soft talk, low key disc jockeys. I'm here for the music, not the party atmosphere. Where are you, Tom T. Hall?

I perfer Classic country--- But I got to say new country beats the heck out of that crap our kids are listening to now a days

Just remember, if it wasn't for RAP, we wouldn't have cRAP!

I'm not a big country music fan but IMO Patsy Cline was is best female singer (country or otherwise) of all time!

On the other end of the spectrum, can somebody explain Taylor Swift to me? Is she suppose to be a singer or just-another-pretty-face?

Pop ain't country.

And most of what's billed as country is really pop.

Just because Lady Gaga is wearing bib overalls, as if ever, doesn't make the song country.

- Traditional
- Newgrass
- Neo traditional
- Gospel bluegrass

Least blue grass hasn't change all that much thru the years.
