Real Country Music For The Reast Of Us
For those who noticed the change in the title of this section during June, you may have wondered what was going on. For those who are looking for the Country page for July may have to stand by. After last month's article, I've decided to change the focus of my topic to the Americana style of the greater Country and Western genre. This means we'll be looking at Bluegrass and Western styles of music. I'm hoping that Suite 101 will find someone, maybe a with a younger point-of-view, to bring back a "New Country" topic. Over the next month, I'll be changing the links to reflect the new topic. Let's look at two sites for this new topic.
