Jake: "So uhhh...what kind of music to you play here?"
Dumb blond wife of the tavern owner: "Oh, we play both kinds, country AND western..."
The station I listen to has the tag line, "No Kenny, Toby, or Keith" Refering to the popular Kenney Chesney (ya ever notice that are no girls in his promtional pictures?), Toby Keith (proof that the more time ya step on a cowboy hat, the flatter it gits), and Keith Urban (from Australia...'nuff said).
Rayn:
Help!
I can't figure out who has the prettier voice, Pam Tillis or Teddy Thompson! I'm so confused I love them equally ... and Pam isn't on the BBM Soundtrack! I never did think I'd be into C & W Music so much... but I am.
Gone Country...

If you are a real fan of Country Music AND Western Music, they are NOT the same genre, and you want to talk about the music which we know or think that Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar would have sang up on Brokeback Mountain or listened on their radios at home or in their truck, why not go to this link and help out in the discussion?

While the movie Ennis told his daughter that he would go to the church picnic if he did not have to sing, he did attempt to sing songs when he was with Jack upon Brokeback.
Some people are the type that if they have do sing a capella, they really cannot carry much of a tune; but, they can sing on key with musical accompaniment, either as a solo or with others. My mother was one of those people and me, too.
While I never heard my mother do a solo while someone played music, I did sing solos a few times in church and another time when someone played a piano. Oh, in church, I did not volunteer to sing a solo, the pastors of the churches requested it when they heard me singing in church choirs and they were sitting directly in front of me.

Most of Toby Keith's music is related to the subject of poor white redneck trash and he is quite proud of the trash songs which he sings.
Kenny Chesney's video, "no shoes, no shirt, no problems," after he gets off the boat and goes to an island, there are actually very few women in the video. And, in the quick short clip where he is dancing at a bar, he's not even touching the gal who's dancing in front of him; in the other few moments while on land, he is not even in the same shot as the women are.
I think that Chesney is like Randy Travis; he uses women as a beard to make people think he is a real man, too.
In effect, Randy Travis actually married his substitute mother who became his manager. In a TV interview, before Travis married Lib Hatcher, she acted and even talked like she was his real mother. I have met more than one openly gay person who knew Randy Travis and they had proof about his private life back in Tennesse. Travis used to own two ranches there and that was before he got married.
Although Keith Urban performs for American country music fan audiences, he is not an American Country Singer at all.
