Country Music


Country Music is an art form.
an art form that falls apart when separated from its roots
These roots are based in the working man's expressions about living and dying..
Simple stories about heartache, hope, pleasure, and love..
The sound of Country Music is earthy and real..
the sounds of Steel Guitars, Fiddles, Bass, Drums, Piano, Flat Top Acoustics and Strats..
Real people singing about real things..
Sometimes it's funny,
most times it's sad..
Country Music is not pop music and never will be..
Neon is Country's spotlight, 
not fireworks going off on stage..
It's Cowboys and Cowgirls,
Sheetrock Hangers and Carpenters driving around in gas guzzling trucks..
It's the Cattle Rancher in New Mexico,
the single mom working two jobs in Mississippi..
It's Western Swing and Bob Wills,
Hank Thompson and Hank Sr.
Merle Haggard and Lyle Lovett,
It is edgy, honest and pure..
