Sorry, buddy, but my bubble remains intact. Musical style is not
determined by where Camelot shelves their cds. You might just as well
find the Dixie Chicks in the pop section. If you consider Wilcox
country, are you also gonna throw James Taylor, Pierce Pettis and Chris
Rice in with him. I think over the last two decades there has arisen a
great amount of confusion surrounding what is or is not country music.
In the 70's the Eagles were considered pure pop, but in the 90's they
could would only be played on country radio. And then there's
Shania...That's pop if I've ever heard it. So if I did qualify my
statement - which I don't have to do, Smartie Pants - it would be
something like. I hate country that is really country, although I may
like a few things that are labelled as country but really aren't.
