Poster Comment: Enter Big & Rich. Longhaired, one-time Virginia farmboy turned rock singer "Big Kenny" Alphin and Texas country songwriting partner John Rich formed the duo after spotting a "big disconnect" between what Nashville music moguls were pushing and what people were listening to. As Rich told a reporter, "You go to a country bar on a Saturday night in Dallas and 40 percent is straight-ahead country music, 30 percent is hard-rock AC/DC to Van Halen," and the rest is urban music. "Everyone dances more to the hard rock and urban than to the country but they are wearing country hats and boots and love all those styles of music and love them all in the same atmosphere." And Alphin says, "The kids who are coming up listen to Johnny Cash, then Kenny Chesney, then Ludacris or Outkast or Kid Rock. I mean, John's little brother wears a John Deere hat and an Eminem tee shirt." Big & Rich created a revolutionary music to appeal to this crowd. They call it "country music without prejudice," meaning country that's unafraid of the rest of the world. They worked out their new sound at a Nashville bar called the Pub of Love. They were joined by like-minded young performers who came to be called the Muzik Mafia, among them singer Gretchen Wilson and rapper Cowboy Troy. (He calls what he does "hick hop.") Wilson just won the Grammy for best female country vocal on her signature song, "Redneck Woman," which Rich co-wrote.

Somewhere there's a stolen halo I use to watch her wear it well Everything would shine wherever she would go But looking at her now you'd never tell Someone ran away with her innocence A memory she can't get out of her head I can only imagine what she's feeling When she's praying Kneeling at the edge of her bed And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water She wants someone to call her angel Someone to put the light back in her eyes She's looking through the faces The unfamiliar places She needs someone to hear her when she crys And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water She just needs a little help To wash away the pain she's felt She wants to feel the healing hands Of someone who understands And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water

B@G actually might impress me if they stopped trying to appeal to women...
