I really like what I guess the young kids who won't get off my lawn are calling "roots" music these days.
I don't like the overproduced frequently retch-inducingly patriotic pabulum Nashville mainly produces.
It's interesting to me when genres overlap. I love it when critics try to categorize a band like the Meat Puppets, for example. I've seen them called everything from alt rock to alt country to country punk. I think the best stuff resists categorization. This is true of all the arts, in my estimation.
You're right. Those did make me cry.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally get into country that much, but maybe I should at least check out Steve Earle &/or Emmy Lou Harris.
