Brit and Australian country music press, etc :

There is also a Brit / Commonwealth magazine, which may be simply
titled "Country Music" (I forget), that I've seen a few copies of and
which always amazes me by how much it covers what *I* would consider
good country as opposed to HNC industry promo, etc. It's available
on newstands in Canada, etc.
I remember last year seeing articles on Ted Roddy and other Austin
artists that industry bigwigs wouldn't give a moments' notice to,
alongside articles on biggies like McCready, Stuart, Yoakum, etc.
I'll see tonight if I don't have a copy of this mag somewhere. In my
recollection, it compared favorably, for me, to any US country music
mag.....
