Along with the like subject matter, the plunking banjo and steel guitar washes or pads, I guess, are about the only thing for these instruments to do in the industry. Relegated to serving as identifiers of country music.
Awwww, let's have some smiles & holiday cheer from the best:

Looks like it's about time for Garth to get his fat butt off the couch and loose some weight ,then make a new record , and go out on the road and save their sorry asses once again.

I always thought of Garth as part of the problem, not the solution...   |

Garth Brooks was a huge part of this current crop of trash on the radio. It was Randy Travis that brought real country music back from the brink. Not that fat pig who has a exaggerated sense of his own entertainment value Garth Brooks. Or is it Chris Gaines.

| Compared to what's huge now on country charts, and worse when married with rap, Garth seems positively vintage. |

Been out of the loop for a while?
Garth has been "off the couch" and back to performing the past few years and just put out a complete box set of new recordings(old songs that were his influences).

Concrete? . . . while the airwaves are filled with poo.

Whizz . . . since they are whizzing down folks' legs and calling it "country".

I must be getting old when I agree with the topic. Luke Bryan and many others recording lame songs. Grabbing their jeans and trying to dance. Kinda makes me sick!

What kind of talent does it take to memorize this unmemorizable, unremarkable stuff?

Actually the real reason country music is getting worse is I'm no longer a part of it.    |

There's always been a musical sub-genre that targets and is performed by the young and priapic. For many years rock and roll filled that niche, but the leading practitioners of that "art" form are by now long past credibility as spokespersons for youth and priapism. I should imagine that the current iteration of the Y&P would go to some lengths to avoid "geezer rock".
Too bad they seized upon country. |

| I still listen to Chalee Tennison, Danni Leigh, Lorrie Morgan, and a lot of artists I grew up listening to. I've been playing steel with quite a few Danni Leigh songs, which Steve Hinson played steel on, and Danni is one of my all-time favorite artists. I'm glad Vince did the Bakersfield record with Paul Franklin-Paul is one of the guys who made me want to play steel and so is Sonny Garrish, the steel player on Chalee's records and many other records. And, a lot of times, I listen to some of my favorite bands that don't really use steel, but they still sound great, like Little Texas, Blackhawk,(lead singer Henry Paul is one of my singing influences). I'm a huge fan of Carrie Underwood too. |
