| @Freddie-I'd like to know just how you figure that Strait had a hand in turning country music into the 'pop/rap' you feel it is today. You listen to George Strait songs, you could hear most of them in any Honky Tonk and it would fit. Even his faster songs aren't much of a departure from Cash's rockabilly songs from early in his career like 'Get Rhythm'. Garth Brooks I can somewhat see but even that is as well. I'm not a big fan of new age country myself, but you could stick guys like Strait and Brooks in almost any era of country music and they would flourish. The change in country music happened when the crossover songs started bleeding out from the likes of Hill, Rhymes, and Twain and then all of a sudden country had to start getting faster. Strait is about as country as you can get nowadays. |
