Anyone watch or watching the Ken Burns gig on Country Music? I just have the last episode to left. Very good. I like the focus on different artists and would love to have off-shoot mini Burns documentaries on some of the characters we were introduced to, some we know very well (Johnny Cash) some we don't (Jimmy Rodgers). One thing I learned is that the George Jones song He Stopped Loving Her Today was released in 1980! I would've bet $100 that it was from the early 60s.
And completely unrelated, Gord Downie died two years ago yesterday. Here he is singing one of my favorite Guided By Voices songs.

Three Dog Night had the hit version on "Liar" but Argent rips it up here.
Answering Machine might be my favorite Replacements song. Maybe. Get back to me on that.
Mrs. A loves classic country music. I can take it or leave it, but I do find some songs I enjoy.
I think it definitely depends on what you classify as “country”. The glorified pop music coming out these days is decidedly not country.
I fully agree. I've stopped listening to current country. There are a couple of people who are actually trying to do something, but it's few and far between.
Or when they do, they get converted to pop quickly
Yup, watched it all and loved it despite being lukewarm on the genre. Cool hearing stories of Cash and Dylan bumping into each other.
