Steel On Todays Country Music

[Jerry Hayes]

Brett, thanks for the info! You're amazing and we appreciate you on the SGF.

As for country music, wouldn't it be wonderful if it was categorized like rock & roll does? They have:
Heavy Metal
Punk
Country Rock
Alternative
New Wave
Techno
Classic
& who knows what else........

In country we could have:
Classic Country
New Country
Pop Country
Alternative Country
$hit-Kickin' Country
& maybe a bunch of others eh?.....

The big problem would probably be that there wouldn't be enough listeners in any one area to support a full time radio station featuring any of the formats. A lot of the young people are into the new country thing but at least it keeps them away from Rap!.............JH in Va.

I'm pretty sure there are already several sub-genre categories of Country, and have been for years.

Really, do these names mean anything about the music? I thought they reflect the age, wardrobe, and hair styles of the performers.
