anyone idea what the expected attendance will be?

Im so tired of the "country music has evolved" line.. It hasnt evolved its just had a sub category called "Pop Cuntry" that puts more money in Trashville's pocket. It is Pop there is no denying that....

well ya got the dumb part right...

I dont think that was the main reason for some people's thread. Some people were pissed to see what they saw when they came here expecting to see a country lineup.

Thank you for being honest and admitting he is POP Country..

Maybe angerball was like me who heard about this COUNTRY music festival, came to this website and noticed that there are a bunch of pop country acts playing and he decided to speak his mind.

Not always true.. Its a difference of making some money or making lots of money.. There are festivals that do not bring in the pop acts that will continue to grow.

Willie,

What are your thoughts on Flip Flop boy Chesney producing Willie's next album?

Wonder why it didnt show up.. sorry about that

Cool article here... looks he is fighting against Pop Country a bit too.. Good stuff

A fine picker and songwriter to add here is Jerry Reed.. One of my favorites..

Regarding some of the newer artists I have to add Wayne Hancock.. Some one you guys might want to look into as well is JB Beverley and the Wayward Drifters.. I was gonna add Waylon to the other list...

Wow... well then.. dumb of me to assume that from a few of your statements..

The fact that you referred to him as Shelton leads me to believe that you know more about him and his music than you lead on. Just an observation.. :)

Its just sad sad sad... I can't remember who it was but I saw some video of some little blonde who had much better looks than talent with a Les Paul slung over her shoulder that she couldn't play...

Possibly true.. I see your point. That would be quite a bit of research..:) I guess my point was that many of these artists are singing songs they know nothing about.



I understand that...

I am expecting that some of you will say that the subject matter of Pop Country is similar to Old and Outlaw Country but, ask yourselves how many of these artists have lived and know what they are...

No problem.. I haven't quite figured that out yet either..

My point here is the Outlaw era at least had very similar subject matter as the Old country whereas today I personally see drastic...

Hank Sr. was my next addition.. good call

I see your point here... However.. Lets look at the subject matter of many of these songs? Would you agree that they are at least based on many of the same principles?

Look.. Im not trying to piss you off. Point is the songs fit in both Genre's.. You also dont have to look at the term "pop country" completely as a negative term either. If you like it you like it....

I dont really either.. But unfortunately sometimes I have to listen through it when I'm with my wife and I haven't brought my CD's :( .. You can compare the "new" or "pop" Country to it because much...

An addition to the list..

Billy Joe Shaver

I couldn't agree with you more here. I know many of you will obviously disagree with this but fact is, this is how I feel. Whch is why I made a comment when I saw Chesney was on the bill. Looking at...

Michelle.. How many songs do you hear on the Country Radio stations and also hear on the pop stations? There are quite a few.. Not that this solidifies anything but I'm just making a point.
