How many of you like to listen to classic country music? When I say classic, I'm thinking of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Sr, Jr, Ernest Tubb, and John Prine. Their music will live on forever in our minds, and in out hearts. The sad thing is, not many radio stations play them anymore. They are only interested in playing the new, the fresh, the mainstream music.
I would be you that if you were going to open up a radio station, and you played the old legends 24/7, you would have more listeners than the mainstream country stations. The reason is that old country music has already touched many hearts, and are loved by many fathers, grandpa's, aunts, uncles. Listening to old songs "takes" them back to that "time" they wish they could re-live.

Kid Rock hosts 2011 CMT Music Awards
According to CMT, Kid Rock will be hosting the 2011 CMT Music Awards. How fitting for a rock/country singer, or whatever you want to call him. He has done collaborations with Hank Williams Jr. Randy Houser, Zac Brown Band, Jamey Johnson, and many others.
What is Kid Rock anyways? I think he is just an artist who loves music, no matter what kind it is. as long as it means something and has feeling, its good! Music genre will soon be a term from the past. There are so many sub genres, I think people are soon going to get lost and just go with what they like. Personally, I hate Country Pop and I don't think it belongs in country music at all, but I'm just an old soul. Country rap doesn't do it for me neither. But in later reviews and posts you will see me eating my words because I enjoy Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, and others..even though I consider them country pop. It has to do more with the person and the image just as much as it has to do with the music.
