i have yet to hear a song of hers where she isn't screaming or yelling at the top of her lungs. Guess I'll have to watch her on a Christmas special where she isnt trying to belt out the lyrics.
Dude, your crush on her is well documented via the birthday thread you started on her a few months back, so I'm taking your review of her with a grain of salt. I dont know if its her legs or looks, but your bias aint subtle at all.

It died when the studios and artists stopped utilizing the pedal steel.

What people really mean when they ask what happened to “real insert genre here” is “why don’t songs sound like the ones I liked between the ages of 12-30”.

Because I’ve found that most people latch on to a particular sound during those years and tend to chase it for the rest of their lives.

On October 13, 1975, the man voted Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association of America one year earlier stood onstage at the CMA awards show to announce that year's winner of the Association's biggest award. But a funny thing happened when he opened the envelope and saw what was written inside. Instead of merely reading the name "John Denver" and stepping back from the podium, Charlie Rich reached into his pocket for a cigarette lighter and set the envelope on fire, right there onstage. Though the display shocked the live audience in attendance, John Denver himself was present only via satellite linkup, and he offered a gracious acceptance speech with no idea what had occurred.

Real country music is being made. It’s just not being played on WYNK and the tiger in BR.

Let me know when turnpike troubadours are EVER played on any kind of pop country channel in Louisiana.

The Sunday Night Football song is absolutely ridiculous. Sounds like someone auto-tuned someone being murdered.

There is a ton of great country still out there. Pop-country is Pop.
