99% of the stuff you hear on the radio these days isn't Country Music. 
 It's
crap.

Man, Hank Sr. crapped bigger ones than Brooks and Dunn.

That said, I prefer bluegress to the more western-oriented country, 
but Lyle
Lovett is in a class by himself.  The dude rocks.

Each country has some aberrant form of 'music' that the rest of the 
world finds easy to ignore. The French have that wailing women and 
accordions stuff, the Germans that oom pa pa and lederhosen gig, and 
the Americans - Country Music.

I get about 20 music video channels and none of them are Country. There 
was a CMTV Europe a few years back, but it shut down due to lack of 
interest.

The nearest to Country music that gets played on the radio or TV here 
is crossover stuff from Shania Twain, Faith Hill and LeAnn Rimes. Which 
is good :)
