Yeah, there is a lot of right wing attitudes within the music but the exceptions really shine through.

^ Thanks for reminding me of those guys, rubber soul! Actually, Hank Williams Jnr. also has some decent songs.

I dig the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band but most of the other country that I like might as well be folk.

^ Yeah, I downloaded some Nitty Gritty tracks and have them somewhere. Also agree that on the sliding scale between folk, bluegrass and country, I prefer the simple acoustic folky stuff over slick Nashville pedal-steel country.
