This song is a tribute to country? Only about half of the artists shown are country and this song is totally not country at all. And the song, WOOF! Just calling oneself country doesn't make you country, this is just pop. There's no roots sound in it at all.

@NickLikesToSweepPick Who here isn't Country according to you then?

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@davidn87 ...all these write (or have songs written for them) to sell records to a populous that doesn't really care that much about music, not to write something from the soul. Not to mention musically, there are no roots licks or tones to their music, remembering your roots literally and musically is a huge part of country music. And Hank III, while he may not be polished, still does it all himself, just like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and his grandfather did, like these new people don't.

@NickLikesToSweepPick Yes well you stay stuck in the past, I love it here in the present.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@davidn87 Liking traditional and neo-traditional art forms is not staying stuck in the past, I am a man of the present that has not forgotten where I came from, same goes for the music I like. You're saying that you love a present day "country" scene that all it really did was rob a whole other genre of its name and make music that would sell, not music that is good?

[davidn87]

@NickLikesToSweepPick I like traditional Country too, why do you think this video's filled with past & present trad Country as well as other subgenres?

[backwoodscowgirl]

great video! i love the first comment cuz its so true. theyre not like some famous people they dont just sing about thier money and how sexy they are they sing about stuff that happens to people in real life and thats when music really helps people.

Because you obviously know so much about these people and where they come from. Even if some of them don't have a complete education, singing for Jesus is better than half of what anyone else in the music industry sings about. Many of these musicians may be from smaller towns, but that's taught them a lot more than what you know about humility. Country music is some of the most truthful music around. The only one wasting energy here is you.

I know Shanis isn't truly country, but she's my favorite nonetheless. :) And most people nowadays aren't country anyways...but don't blame Shania.

@AaltoCT George Strait. Anyone who calls him pop is a fool.

[AaltoCTI]

@davidn87 Who is present traditional country?

[AaltoCTI]

@NickLikesToSweepPick Well said, agreed on all points. Hank III is a little rough around the edges but that is pretty country too. He is a rebel.

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

@davidn87 Because the new stuff that is considered "country" is all a marketing ploy for the masses, rather than about true music based on life experience. The new scene is all a puppet show. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying not to abuse those who like this new stuff, but for a lot of people that consider music a focal point in their life, such as myself, feel that artists like Carrie Underwood don't deserve the recognition that real songwriters should get. It's a big puppet show IMO.
