RE: Clip: The state of country radio

[Matt Benz]

[Matt Benz]  Shania sez in the VH1 special that she sang whatever was in
demand: she sang in rock bands, top 40 cover bands, country bands. She
was a typical lounge-type performer: simply doing whatever styles were
wanted at the time. As far as I can tell, she was not pre-disposed to
country music, which is clear from her pop thrusts lately. She just
wanted to succeed in a musical career. Which is fine.

She did have at least one good country song, I think, based on that
special: a clip from an early video (her playing guitar in a rustic
porch setting) was kinda good.
