What do you guys think? You know modern day country is not traditional country. If you listen to Shania Twains stuff that was coming out in the 90's it is just pop music with a little twang to it.
Discuss.

No, Mutt Lange was. If you listen to Shania's first album, it was actually pretty traditional Country...or at least as traditional as Country got in the early 90's. Then Mutt Lange got a hold of her........

I always thought Alabama started that trend of country music cross over type stuff back in the early 80s. Although I do like alot of Alabama's music.

Actually, there has ALWAYS been a trend in Country music to be more "Pop" than what most of us think of as real "Count'ry". Check out some chart toppers by Crystal Gayle, Barbara Mandrell or Mickey Gilley in the mid-70's or Charlie Rich and Eddie Arnold of the late 60's/early 70's. Not exactly barn-burnin' honky tonk music IMO. Gram Parsons and Marshall Tucker.....shit even the Grateful Dead was more Country than most of those artists in the 70's. |

Yeah, you got a point there Jesse. Now that I think about it, I remember hearing artists such as Glen Campbell & Dolly Parton on the pop charts back in the 70s. |

Uhhh... What Jesse said.
Man, I do like "hard" country better, but those folks be real ugly. Shania does it for me plenty good, I just don't put the sound up while I watch her shake her World-Class ass.
