Country music today is glitzy. The singers wear cowboy hats. The horse is seldom on stage. The older country stuff was in many cases 'cowboy/cowgirl' music. Punching cattle, that kind of thing. Where the line is drawn I do not know. I do know I like what I like, and I took a trip to a CD store to see how things were categorized--to help with a writing contest I want to enter. I can't figure it out. I do know there were 8 rap bins. There was one very tiny folk bin. In there were a few what I'd call country singers. Emmy Lou, MCC, etc.

Beats the heck outta me.
