Out from under a rock popped Kent Smith and said

Different Genre. In fact most people here seem to be confusing what
Country music is.
Yes you get god awful Western trash like Garth Brooks but you also get
people who are "Country" for the lack of a better description such as Emmy
Lou Harris, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle. Then you can add alt-
country to the mix with bands such as The Cowboy Junkies.
Now do I think this spamming Country music station will be playing any of
this good "Country" - no I most definately don't.
Do I think that I could give you Kent Smith "Country" music to listen to
that you'd like - yes I do.
As for people telling other people what they should like and dislike, it's
as dumb as people writing off a huge musical genere that they in all
likelihood probably know very little about.
