There's the usual line-dancing grand-ol'-oprey crowd, and people know the odd Glen Campbell or Dolly Parton number (both great artists of course)... But that Fulks song "F__k ths Town" is a nice take on what's wrong with the marketing of Country generally. But there is an excellent Alt Country scene here, and of course a real music lover will like something from pretty much every genre. If you're a lyrics person, Country music is a gold mine... And there's a running joke that Country music goes down superbly in Glasgow cause Glaswegians are miserable sods with a sense of humor : ) P "We got both kinds of music... Country *and* Western."

I started out liking that Alabama 3, but then the lyrics got all Priney on me. We've got a local "Texas Radio" station that's just as much of a joke as commercial "Hot New Country". I don't know how country music is marketed in the UK, but one of these days I'll post my thoughts on country radio; it's won't be pretty. I guess the conditioning runs that deep, Otherfunk.

OK - since you won't try John Prine himself, try a John Prine cover... Alabama 3's "Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness" from their album "Exile On Coldharbour Lane"... OK, there's junky references, and that particular band's uberfans tend to be scary as hell, but it's one hell of an album... (Two asides... Requiem For A Dream is a truly remarkable piece of art... And Trainspotting features a song by a band callled Underworld - who truly do have *the* scariest uberoberfuhrerjunky ultra-fans...) Hah!
