[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3894893, member: 24531"] I obviously didn't do my research...maybe that was an older video of him. Although I have respect for the 40's-70's country (remember the Grand ol Oprey and Hee Haw?), I for one still consider those 90's names you mentioned to be modern country music. I would listen to Mark Chesnut before I listened to Marty Robbins or something LOL. I consider the older 50's music as "western" more than "country". When I think of "country" I think more of George Strait and the like. The late 70's stuff is in a class of its own, trapped in between "western" music and "country". The Highwaymen was like the climax of that genre that bled over into the 80's. I think one of the newest sounding old songs that appealed to youg people at the time and sounded new but still was true to the genre was "That ain't my truck" by Rhett Akins. That song could be released as new today and probably overtake all the hickhop crap. [/QUOTE]
