"Not country at all. Hollywood B.S. a$$ kissers."
Guys, my oldest, bestest friend, JL Myers, was an audio engineer in Nashville. He was with TNN from before it went on the air, until it was killed. He did Post Production on every Hee Haw. Then he went independent. If you've heard interviews with "stars" in the last 15 years, you've heard his work, He's now retired. He has told me that since TNN died, and CMT bloomed, "JB, ALL my work orders come from New York City." And NYC is such a bulwark of "Country" music! And he knows, cuz he was intimately involved in the business. Blame New York bean counters!

They sound great, and I think will become even more popular DB! So many new guitars sound alike, with no particular character. I worked with the late Jerry Brightman, assembling his great Performance guitars. But I really can't say they sounded better than the current crop, although they did play better.

Unfortunately not Damir. But I like split Twins with cabs by Rick Johnson.

| Agree with the comments however, its pretty unlikely Faron Young, Webb Pierce, Skeets McDonald, and Dony Young are going to make an appearance. |

Damir, I have a ShoBud amp for sale. I don't know enough about them to tell you what model it is but it is not the "slide pot version" or the Christmas Tree. It looks a lot like my Standel Custom. It is solid state.

I decided to just keep my opinions to myself. So, I extracted my opinion.
I can say this. I hate to see the direction that country music is going.
All Hat And No Cattle. That's an idiom we use quite often here in Texas.

Disposable music for the current generation. More or less it has regressed back to seventies rock. The problem everybody is having with it is, it is not backward compatible.

| It's sad for us older folks, but IT IS WHAT IT IS. |
Until it isn't. 
I don't like it, but I'm past the point of caring anymore. Only my opinion, but I think it will be forgotten more quickly than any other generation of country music that came before it.. |

I have not watched a so-called country show on TV in about a decade. Never cared for award shows, especially when the music also sucks. Country radio also isn't and has been deleted from the play rotation for several years. These days I mostly listen to bluegrass and soft jazz being most of it has some musical value.

Wlth a few exceptions, even 20 yrs ago country radio sounded like some goobers who wanted to pretend they were the new Eagles or L Ronstadt but weren't. IMO

I wonder if there could be a split in country
say let modern country go as is
but maybe a new media format for traditional
country and keep um apart.....somehow
IF greed could be kept down
theres a lot of great real country artist that
need a renewed chance.....IMHO

I wouldn't insult the Eagles that way.
At least the Eagles knew they weren't country.
