ok, steve martin, but who were those other guys? isn't one of them the guy who married amy grant? i'm not up on country music.
semi-related, i was in folkston GA (trainspotting with my 5 yr old) last week and heard the best country radio station ever on 91.3 FM. it made me realize how bad most country stations are, e.g., it was the first time i had EVER heard willie nelson on the radio. that old stuff is just tailor made for a car radio. radio in this country is a crime. (don't i sound crunchy?)
There are some great country and blue grass stations in the Cincinnati / Kentucky area, not too up on my ge-oooooo-graphyin', but they play the good ol' stuff. The new stuff has been getting a teensy bit better, but it's still pretty schlocky.

ReplyDeleteThe "guy who married amy grant" is the Great Vince Gill. (Not to be confused with Vince Neil from Motley Crue.)
ReplyDeleteWillie Nelson is "old stuff"? That's faux-crunch posturing, at best.
ReplyDeleteNow, Earl Scruggs is old stuff, or at least oldish.
An uncrunchy source of crunchy music: satellite radio.
