I'm more into old-time country stuff. To me, even Hank Williams Senior is nu-country! laugh.gif

I can not stand country music and I live right in the middle of it in a small town in Texas. If it wasn't for CDs and satellite radio I would be in a nut house by now. All that is on radio is 1960s and 70s country. I also would not classify Lynyrd Skynyrd as country to me that are classic rock and roll who happen to be from the south

although I don't know if that is bluegrass or country, but it's a really nice tune.

W00t, go the Aussies and, more precisely, Queenslanders! However, I wouldn't really call Keith Urban country, more rock, its just that he has banjos and mandolins and stuff in his music.

Old-school (proper) country people would be Slim Dusty, Dwight Yoakam, Hank Williams, etc.

That being said, I don't like country music either.

I haven't heard that version, but Boz Scaggs does a really good version of that song on his 1969 debut album, with Duane Allman playing dobro. You should check it out.

You might want to explore the possibility that the link is even more specialized than that. That it is caused by polyester double-knit and country music written only after 1970. (The polyester double-knit leisure suit was invented by Jerry Rosengarten in 1970. wink.gif )
