Any country music fans ?

I'm a 70's southern rock guy. Grew up listening mostly to Skynyrd, 38 Special, Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, BTO, and the Allman Brothers. So these new guys like Jason Aldean, Blake Shedon, Thomas Rett, Kid Rock, Colt Ford and Trace Atkins and the mix of rock that they bring to country radio remind me of the southern rock era. Mix that with David Allen Coe, Bocephus, Garth, and Charlie Daniels and you have something to listen too.

Now bands like The Band Perry that gets Muff in a lather (serious man card violation dude) and Taylor Swift can all go jump off a cliff.

The era of classic country is gone. Jim Reeves and Loretta Lynn and the slide guitar are a distant memory but can be heard on SiriusXM.

Now don't me wrong. I love my classic rock and roll. But most of todays classic rock radio stations just suck and only play the upper crust top 40 stuff. I got tired of the same old thing day after day after day after day. At least with country music there is something new new to listen to.

...to say you've listened to a genre of music and just can't stand it means you haven't listened to the right songs yet.
