It seems that girl is on the fast track to oblivion. When I heard "Blue" for the first time I was impressed with her voice. I thought for sure I was witnessing the next queen of country music.

David, you're right about a tube preamp warming up a digital signal, but the main problem with that is that you're using something further down the audio chain to correct a flawed signal. That is the ...

I'll agree with you on Clint Black's best work not making it to the airwaves. His other works are the reason why he's my favorite male performer.

There are turntables out there that sound better than CD players, but they generally cost exhorbitant sums. As for the cost of equipment, both analog and digital, the law of diminishing returns is re ...

I didn't think this thread would last THIS long!

Once again, I'm glad to see the opinions here. Here's my take on the whole situation:

I've enjoyed what's been written so far. Let me add another twist to the debate. Is today's country better or worse than the Urban Cowboy era of country?

My bass player has one of these Rics and I do admit that tuning is a problem (I use open "E"). However, don't ask me if it's for sale; I think he wants to hold on to it.

Welcome aboard, Mark! Another one from the Fender Forum comes over! So when are you getting a steel (or are you still waiting for me to learn and sit in with your band)?

Anyway, a friend turned me ...
