that is boring to me. that's just me. I guess that means I like mainstream pop country though, right?

No it means you only like one style of country music apparently because I've posted about 6 different styles and you've hated them all.



Although it does seem obvious that you definitely lean towards mainstream country. Prove me wrong.

you still don't get it. Isbell and others like him are about their ART and craft. they don't write songs for someone else to sing. they aren't pop country. they aren't "sell outs". jason and john are two guys from alabama and oklahoma who take pride in their songs and writing them.

once again, you're hopelessly clueless. or just a troll.

you clearly don't understand how the mainstream country music business works.

do you even scott borchetta bro?

quote:

im starting to wonder if these guys are just too hard headed and would rather make no money then just take a check, life a nice life and DGAF who sings their songs.


again, you are the type that the country music execs are marketing towards. you have no respect for real songwriters.

to use your logic, why aren't those people you posted all over the radio?

why aren't they rich and successful?

they must not be any good

again, theres the "you don't get it"

those dudes would say "frick the art and craft" the second they had the opportunity to have their stuff recorded by somebody. but Im clueless.

please come with something else

again, there is your mindset of being the guru here.

I've posted singer songwriters, honky tonk, bluegrass influenced, southern rock influenced and folk influence country.

You've posted songs meant for the radio

no. no, you haven't. please don't try to argue that with me. I guarantee you I have more bluegrass background on this board than anyone here. you really don't want to argue that any of those links were bluegrassed influenced.

it's all about the market, simple things have bigger markets. Bud Light is shitty beer, but it's the top selling beer in the US.

lol, no they wouldn't. you don't really understand them if you think that.

not everyone is a sellout like you apparently think. john moreland and austin lucas both come from DIY punk backgrounds.
