Sometimes I feel we are leagues away in terms of our musical tastes. I knew people in the US who love country so I know it's real. In the UK country is not a popular genre at all. I listen to weird stuff like this, so far away from what you listen too...
In the past I would go into HMV and hear all this weird stuff playing. Is there an equiv. place in the US, perhaps Tower Records.. if it still exists?
No, no record stores in the US anymore. I take that back. There are small independent ones. They probably play some of this stuff. I like everything really, I just tend to settle into certain areas for any given length of time.
