I have strong opinions on fm country radio and I'll just keep those to myself as to not offend many here. I will say turn that **** off and turn on your pandora or the like and start exploring good music. Lots of it comes out of Texas and Oklahoma and you'll likely never hear that stuff on your local country station unless you're in those states. I saw The Black Lillies and Turnpike Troubadours on Friday night then saw Whitey Morgan on Saturday night. It was a good wknd, even scored a koozie at the WM show that says in LARGE print **** POP COUNTRY.
Stapleton has been around for a long time. As Wizzo said lookup the steel drivers older stuff and he did an album under the Jompson Brothers that has a couple great songs on it. The man has amazing vocals.
