Alrighty then ... I freely admit ... I am a fan of Cowboy Troy! Country music has changed and has always changed in the past. I'm old enough to know!

Do I think Cowboy Troy will gain "mainstream" acceptance? Absolutely not ... in fact I predict his approval will be much as a cult hero. Much as Leon Redbone is in his genre.

I was additionally turned on to the entire album of Big & Rich. While some of their music will be very accepted by the mainstreamers some of it will not. (btw Mike, I love "Kick my A**" and proclaim it my new theme song) I truly love those that stretch the envolope.

Now to Bracket-Man ... right on Brother ... (holding ny lit Bic lighter high) ... and then there was Santana, and the infamous ZZ Top who I am currently listening to, the Stones, Iron Butterfly and so many more.
