For anyone that dismisses new country; check out Jamey Johsnon. I read this whole thread and was saddened to see he wasn't mentioned once :/ He's the one who wrote Honkey Tonk Baddonkadonk. I like Trace Adkins; but he doesn't hold a candle to Jamey Johnson.
And for those saying they were around when classic country came out but are 16...do you mean classic as in outlaw country (ie; Hank Jr?) Or classic as in Hank Sr. / Loretta Lynn / Faron Young / Roger Miller? Because I don't think you were alive back then :P
For me it's all about the outlaw country though, Jamey Johnson / Travis Tritt for newer stuff, Hank Jr. / Waylon / DAC / J.C. / Willie for the original outlaw country

Jamey doesn't have much different of a voice than other deep-voiced country singers, such as Trace Adkins. But he is no doubt an incredible artist. He will have a successful career.
Is is wrong to like what came before us? How many teenagers listen to 70s & 80s rock? Hell, I have caught myself listening to 40s big band and swing.
Nothing wrong with that at all; that wasn't my point. I was just finding the thought of music that came out in the last 10 years (ie; 16 year olds being alive when classic country came out) a bit amusing. I don't usually tell people what they should of shouldn't listen to. Though I do strongly question people who listen to 'gangsta rap', yet are middle to upper class suburban home dwellers. But that's a whole other issue
And I think Jamey is more than just his voice. It's the type of music he writes. Listen to every song on his two albums and tell me that's not the case

Yes...I admit....I have hit an all-time low. I have been listening to the local CLASSIC country station....106.3. Dang it....I feel like an old geezer. The sad thing is....I'm getting old enough now that I remember when some of these songs originally came out.
