Jerry,
sorry for confusing your reference. That is the only one I hear people talking about as possibly being questionable.
As far as Down in Mississippi, it is refering to going to the casinos for a night out with her girlfriends to get away from there husbands/boyfriends whatever.
It has the A word in it but other than that I'm not sure what would be considered offensive?
Am I shockingly too immune to the immoralties of life?

"Other Than That", I find nothing offensive either, just "that". We play an Oprey show every Saturday night and I promise you most of our audience would be shocked and not pleased if someone sang a song with those lyrics in it. Some folks might like that stuff but I would never buy it and don't care to listen to it.

gotcha. I don't endorse it, but compared to other forms of secular music, country has always been pretty PG rated. That wouldn't even be on the radar screen as offensive in the Hip Hop world.

Jennifer Nettles is from my hometown of Douglas, Georgia and that's the way they talk down there. It's about four hours from Atlanta and nothing like Atlanta. I think she sings very good, reminds me of Allison Moorer. I don't think either of those two are country though. I remember a lot of reviews on Amazon about her fake accent. Even real country singers like Sara Evans turn pop once they reach Nashville.

Funny what happens when someone sees a check with 7 digits, eh?
You dance with the one that bought you that $12M house and your Jag.

wow,
I thought they fell off the face of the earth. Good he is still playing. They had a good group of musicians and I liked the sound of their first album, but I don't think any of them could write their own stuff very well and they got ate up by the Nashville pop-machine not being able to produce any real winning songs for those guys.
Sasha is a descent player. But Bearing Strait's old guitar player Ilya was incredible lead player and banjo picker.

Mark Van Allen is one of the good guys in our industry and loved his inside comments.
I don't know...maybe the less "country" the act is or sounds...the better their chances are at getting signed out of Nashville?
What comes around goes round meaning; Traditional Country Music will come back around again and seem all fresh and new. No one knows when that day will come. Kinda like when Country Music got real sappy then Ricky Skaggs, Clint Black, George Strait, Rand Travis and some others helped make it good again. I just hope its in my lifetime.

Barely on topic: the fiddler mentioned way up in this thread, Rob Hajacos...how the heck is his last name prounounced? I like his style, you can always tell it's him with that pronounced vibrato. Doesn't seem like I hear him on all the hits like I used to. Oh, right, L.A. doesn't have a country station anymore, I forgot!
And now for the KZLA tangent...
