other country terms?
I don't understand why we can't just use "country rock." Sure, the Eagles took that term and rammed it into the dirt, but that's no reason to scrap the name and search for another. Huey Lewis and the News put out a shitty rock album and you don't see that having any effect on bands wanting to use the term "rock" now, do you? And I see no reason to call someone like Wayne Hancock anything but country. Obviously, I'm feeling optimistic today. steve NP: John Wesley Harding "Trad Arr Jones" On Deck: Slobberbone "Barrel Chested" - I like them too == Steve Gardner * Sugar Hill Records Radio Promotion [EMAIL PROTECTED] * www.sugarhillrecords.com WXDU "Topsoil" * A Century of Country Music [EMAIL PROTECTED] * www.topsoil.net ==

I think that most of the people we are talking about are country. i.e. Wayne, Tom T. Hall, Merle Haggard, Emmylou, etc. I mean maybe instead of defining alt. country someone should define 'Country Music'. Seriously. It seems that we have a tendency to define everything as 'alt. country' or 'new country'. Maybe we want to feel hip or something?? g -jim
