My Kind Of Country

Country music from a fan's point of view.

About

Welcome to the My Kind Of Country blog. Here, you will find reviews, editorials, and discussions about the country music we love : our kind of country. The idea is simple: rather than write lots of negative reviews about the new music that’s coming out – because let’s face it, much of what comes out of Nashville and your country radio dial is crap – we are going to write about the music we love: the music that moves us, drives us, and makes us laugh and cry; the music that touches us. Not that we will spend our time writing about a select group of artists that are among our favorites. To the contrary, we intend to post about the music we love and tell you why we love it, and of course, how we think it could be improved upon.

After your visit, we want you to  feel like you learned something about country music and were entertained in the process.  Most of all, we want you to see country music from our perspectives, the listeners and the lifetime fans of the music who have devoted our free time to spreading the word about the music we love. So we present you with our kind of country in the hopes that it, too, will become your kind of country.

Check out the Introductions page to learn more about the writers. We hope you enjoy our little blog – and we hope you keep coming back.

    Interesting stuff. I’m enjoying this. Is there a way you could get involved with my website? I am located in Austin and I keep up with the local and national Country music scene.

    Thanks,

    Hey guys. If there’s anything you want me to change on the banner, just mail me. Ask Erik for my mail and i’ll see to change whatever is lacking in the banner. It would be great if you want me to design other stuff.
    Cheers

    I just found your website and wanted to thank you for acknowledging not only well known artists who are recording “my kind of country,” but for your interest in those artists who are off Nashville’s radar but are making some great music and many of whom are well known in Europe, Scandinavia and other countries. I do two radio shows that are a mix of new and old, All Things Country (internet) for Heartland Public Radio on HPR1, http://www.hpr.org, and Twang, a live show for KCSN, 88.5fm in Northridge, CA (Los Angeles area), http://www.kcsn.org. All Things Country first plays on Saturdays and repeats 3 times in the subsequent week. Twang is on from 11am-2pm in California and the station streams on the internet. Here’s a sample of who you’ll hear on both shows:

    Dale Watson, Miss Leslie, Liz Talley, Dallas Wayne, Robbie Fulks, Amber Digby, Justin Trevino, Tony Booth, Jake Hooker, Becky Hobbs, Gal Holiday & The Honky Tonk Revue, Billy Keeble, Teea Goans, Roger Wallace, Li’l Mo & The Monicats, various Western Swing groups and many others. And we take requests on both shows!

    Keep it real, everyone!
