I've always liked country, I suppose it makes up 1/4 of all my music. Lately, and by that I mean @ 5 years, I haven't heard more than 1 song that actually excited me. -Murder on Music Row-

I'm a big fan of the "old country", does anyone know of any new artists with that sound?

Ryan Adams - listen to the Heartbreaker CD..very good.

I think old country is basically dead. The good songs are being done by girls nowadays: Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift & Miranda Lambert. Lambert is a great writer, but her songs are quite negative. She uses her music to kill off her ex-lovers.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
