@pmbuko, I bet you would like De La Soul. I'm another in the category of "My parents listened to country music, and therefore so did I as a child." I grew up in the '70s, and my parents belonged to 8-track tape clubs. I still like Willie, Waylon, Dolly, Kenny, Merle, and the Statler Brothers. It wasn't until I got my own FM radio at age 14 (1982) that I even got into pop/rock music. I had a lot of catching up to do. I think that this is why new wave and '80s hits still are some of my favs. I haven't listened to country music much at all since then, but I still appreciate good banjo and steel guitar. Especially the latter in the hands of David Gilmour.

Hmm, Thinking on it, some of the stuff that the band did fits into country rock and I like them quite a bit. The Eagles fit right in there too, at least the early stuff.

It takes some pretty non-traditional (or extremely traditional) country for me to like it. I like bluegrass (particularly anything Bela Fleck does, which makes it Newgrass, apparently...), Dixie Chicks (at least their later stuff--hey, it's pretty...), and a lot of stuff that Lyle Lovett does. I can't stand the mass produced pop pap Nashville's been turning out over the last decade or two--and I know that Dixie Chicks account for some of that. Do you have a favorite Bela Fleck? I was thinking about trying him out but wasn't sure what to start with. I like about 5 songs from the Dixie Chicks' Long Way Home CD but I doubt that I would get into any of their older stuff. Oh and by the way, I say y'all on a daily basis and there is no way that Paula Deen or anyone else could get me out of it. As Southern as I am, I despise most country music (Johnny Cash and Mary Chapin Carpenter being the exceptions).

Dwight Yoakam had a couple of bearable songs too.

The Dixie Chicks live album is really good; I think it's "Top of the World."
I only have one solo Bela Fleck album, and that's Drive. His Tales from the Acoustic Planet discs are good; I like the first the most (that's the classical one) and his latest (the Africa one) the least.
As far as the Flecktones albums go, Outbound is great, Cosmic Hippo is the classic one, and Left of Cool is a lot of fun. Little Worlds is a little odd, but still good. UFO Tofu is also good.

No, I don't have to. I think "Dwight" is a silly name for a town, too. As a matter of fact, I think that if I owned a company in Dwight, I'd be so embarrassed that I would just give product away to anyone who called me on the name!

If it works, let me know Mark! Uhh, of course if Ian gets upset with you, I don't know who you are...."Mark?....Mark who?"
