but the industry is moving back towards "traditional country" (Lee Ann Womack's "Album of the Year" win at the CMA's is proof of that) which means the MuzikMafia may be in for a uphill battle (I hate Gretchen Upchuck, I like Big & Rich's music just not them & a rapping Cowboy has been done before with failing results back in the early 90's)
Now Dwight Yoakam, Along with Gary Allan & Cross Canadian Ragweed, are the kind of artists country music does need...But unfortunately they will never get the publicity from having the likes of CMT asskissing 'em.
(Btw, my dislike of Gretchen Wilson has nothing to do with her popularity, I dont care for hardly any female country artists...Only one I have a disc of is Jamie O'Neal and the only other I like is Miranda Lambert who was very rocking in concert.)
