They need to realize that people like a little variety and that these new country artists are pop NOT country! It would be great to see a station play the more traditional stuff. And don't give me the it's 2006 story (who cares what year it is) does that mean that I can't like tradition?
I've never even heard of this guy/group! I've been gone a long time.
I probably started too young, back in '64 or so, before I could even drive (WNYR Winner 68, Rochester, NY), when FM was ALL long-hair music (what we used to call classical music, guess it's all either long-hair or no-hair music now!).
As time went on there were more and more "cross overs" from Pop to Country. I kept trying to listen but they offered me less and less. I am so far removed from country music, we haven't been to a concert in years and I don't even know who's new, hot, up-coming. Once talk radio started I got hooked on that and now spend all my listening time with a local guy "Lonsberry", Rush, Shawn Hannity, Michael Savage, etc. I never could hacl Dr. Laura, glad she went away.
I just bought my very first CD's this week to use in that 6-CD changer. The one GOOD part about all this is that the CD's for the artists I can stand are real cheap, like $6 to $9 apiece rather than $12, $15, or $20 for the popular artists. I always did like a bargain!
It was that same 10-15 song thing
that really got me going away from C.M. radio too!Although they don't play alot of music, I found the "Truckin' Bozo" and then his son Steve on WLW AM 700 out of Cincinati from Midnight to 5 am does play some of the oldies. You can also find it on WWVA AM 1170, Wheeling, W VA, but sometimes the hours vary. There's another station in the mid-west, but I don't know the freq. Can check out the WLW site for links, I bet.
