New subscriber, love the blog, etc.

A lil’ history lesson:

Way back when in the 1950’s there was the Nashville Sound. It’s the kind of country you might accidentally hear on some Patsy Cline collection and quickly pull out of your CD player when the one hit you wanted to hear stops playing. It was crap.

Now imagine country music in the 1950’s with a back-beat, electric guitars, and a honky-tonk attitude. Music popularized by the likes of Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. Music that kept country from disappearing into obscurity when rock and roll took over the US. That was called the Bakersfield Sound.

Bakersfield’s in California.

Don’t get me started on The Flying Burrito Brothers …

Sorry, but I think “California” and “country” are rather mutually exclusive. What the hell sort of genre did you make up with this one? Next thing you know, you’ll be posting articles that plug the best surf spots in the country….you know, places like Santa Cruz, Ocean Beach, Macon, Huntington, Atlanta…lol…
