the Egos are back on the country charts after many years absence (from the country charts) with an earler, simpler "Take it Easy" sound....They had a huge influence on many of today's stars in that melieu.... tho' I consider most 'new country' as rock&roll with a condom..

Garth Brooks biggest influence for his stage shows was 'Kiss'... That's why people such as Allison Krause are refreshing.....Then again, she's just done a cd with Robert Plant...so the lines are blurred, even without the Jack Daniels y'all.... anyhow, watch out Joe Walsh,,, Brad Paisley will kick your ass on 'axe'.....

so who's hosting, Cowboy Troy the ten-gallon rapper? .... wake me up later...
