Country music has changed over the last 60 years guys, as has Rock and roll. Just because it's different doesn't mean it isn't an art. The singers of today have proven they can hit just as many high notes as the old timers, but that isn't what sells now. Have you ever heard Leann Rhimes rendition of any of pasty's songs? look them up on youtube, that girl can sing! My favorite as of right now is Mianda Lambert, she chews tabacco, shoots deer, sings like a bird, and looks smoking hot doing it, doesn't get much more country then that!!!
