Pt. 1- Whitey Morgan – Honky Tonks & Cheap Motels
2 Comments(This is the second guest article written by Cliff England, and part one of two in the “REAL country music from Michigan” series.)

“Country” Warped Tour in the Works
5 CommentsWhen I think about a good way to personify pop country, I think of a pig; a big, bloated, lazy, garish and gluttonous pig laying around in its own filth and slops. And this pig recently had piglets, with swollen nipples dotting its underbelly. And fighting for a chance with the sweet, sweet nectar of […]
Wake Up! Shooter Jennings Has Gone Rock.
13 CommentsWhen I first asserted that Shooter Jennings was quitting country music, there were some that said good riddance, others saying “say it ain’t so,” some that outright disagreed with the premise that Shooter could do such a thing, and a few who were looking forward to this potentially new direction.

Pin Up Girls & Hot Rods for Reinstate Hank
0 CommentsI’ve said it many times before, when it comes to the movements to put REAL country music back in it’s proper place in the world, we all do what we can. Some make videos. Some like me take their poison pen and try to jab it in the eye of pop country. Some just use […]
Album Info on “A Bitter Harvest”
4 CommentsWhen I first heard that Rachel Brooke and Lonesome Wyatt from Those Poor Bastards were teaming up on an album, I just about fell out of my chair. Though this pairing kind of came out of left field, it made complete and perfect sense to me, and this immediately became my most anticipated 2009 album […]
