Anonymous asked: Just discovered your blog, and am extremely impressed. Any chance of some (or indeed lots) Carl and Pearl Butler. Particular favourites of mine. The world needs to be re-acquainted with them. To start with "Heartaches for Lunch", a majestic song.

Mainstream country, as in top 40, is not country music, it’s pop music. Simple as that. The package it comes in, laden with a cheap, deliberate drawl, trite twang and cheesy thematic material is simply there to make the consumer feel like they’re participating in a particular of culture or tradition. It’s simply a branding, a label, a consumer identity. Make no mistake, modern country music is pop music. As pop as Lady Gaga. Designed and focus group-tested to sell. -Ricky
