Album: Changing Horses
Released: February 2, 2009
Home Town: Greenville, Tx
Why is it on here?: I don't really like country music anymore, especially today's mainstream country music, its awful. I don't care what anyone says, Taylor Swift is not country music. Rascal Flatts is not country music and the clothes they wear, MIGHT have been cool 5 years ago.
I do though like REAL country music, maybe you call it Texas Country or maybe I just like the old stuff - Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, older George Strait stuff. You know what I mean. Thats why I really like the new Ben Kweller record "Changing Horses". It's got an obvious old country/western influence and I love how he incorporates the steel harp here. I'm not saying its "PURE" country - no Dusty Chandler jokes please - but it is a lot closer than some of the stuff thats passed off as country nowadays.
