2008 Country Music Hall of Fame Inductees
3 CommentsWell, it’s been just over a week since I suffered through watching the whole CMA Pop Country Award Infomercial, and I am happy to report that I am finally able to keep solid foods down, and I finally achieved my first solid bowel movement since Kid Rock took the stage with “Lil Wayne,” making me […]
Gram Parsons
4 CommentsThis is a dude I probably would not write about under normal circumstances. I think he did have a huge influence on the Outlaw Country movement, but it would be a stretch to call him an Outlaw. But I’ve had numerous requests for a Gram Parsons blog, so here we go. This isn’t gonna be […]
A BIG Thank You to ALL! (+ other stuff)
2 CommentsFirst Off: I was going to write a proper roasting of this year’s CMA’s, but the Hank III Coalition did such a proper job, there’s not much more that can be said.

Down with the CMA (Part 3 – ACE & The Outlaws)
Real quick: A Hank III tour announcement is imminent. According to hank3.com it’s gonna start on the 23rd.

I’m […]

Down with the CMA (Part 1–Waylon Jennings)
3 CommentsOn Wednesday night, the CMA Awards will be shoving pop music down America’s throat packaged as “country,” in an attempt to sell as many CD’s of talentless, pretty-faced product musicians as possible. This is NOT and award show people. This is not even an event to promote country music, because I’ll venture to guess not […]

The Most Influential Country Music Albums of All Time
8 CommentsI’ve always said that Hank Williams III’s Straight to Hell was one of the most significant albums in country music history. But since no mainstream media outlets are willing to recognize this, I will, and to prove that this is not my biased opinion as a simple Hank III fan, I’m going to name off […]
Seven Signs & The Southern Culture
0 CommentsThe long suffering, soulful, beautiful South: You might have noticed that I have avoided all this political stuff like a pop country compilation on the record store shelf. There a few reasons for this, mainly that I got all kinds of people who read here and I don’t want to offend anybody: Rebels, Yanks, Hippies, […]
The Country Music Revolution Has Begun.
2 CommentsThe revolution to take back Country Music has begun my friends. I am boldly declaring that on this day, the 3rd of November in the year 2008, the first salvo has been shot, and the money changers and Californicators of the Nashville power-elite oligarchy have no other choice but to take notice. Pop country is […]
