Back in 2015 pop country had gone from an annoying infection to an epidemic. Billy Currington, Luke Bryan, and Jarrod Niemann were household names as far as country music was concerned. Now I call it pop country but let’s call it what it is. It’s Coors Light, frosted tip, pontoon boat country. I mean acts wearing their girlfriends brand name “hip” jeans on stage while scratch DJ adds to their country and western dynamic..? I know gross. right?
Now I myself am part hillbilly part rock and roller. I grew up in a town of 10,000 but spent a lot of my time growing up in a town of 250 people. In the 80’s and 90’s when Alan Jackson, Steve Earle, and Dwight Yoakam ruled the airwaves. Country music was still country back then. I also grew up watching the Opry with my grandmother and mother. My Uncle on my Dad’s side played in country bands and had a vast appreciation for old-school country. That’s where I get it from.
NOW, in 2015 I didn’t think I could change anything but when a friend at CJTR said “Kent Regina Community Radio needs you”, I took it as an opportunity to show who I could what real song writing and what real country looked like. So that when someone would say “I don’t like country” I could show them that country music is a large genre with many subgenres where you have to sort through the fool’s gold to find the stuff that’s worth anything, the real gold... even if I have to spoon-feed it on a weekly basis 12 songs at a time.
