I woke up this morning to a Barf & Retch media blitz. In a vain attempt to make these two bozo's country creditials the San Jose Mercury News reports, "They bring a touch of the surreal weirdness that's been sorely lacking in country music since the days of Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers." CMT Central, "Horse of a Different Color could be the most essential country album since Wanted! The Outlaws!"What's next? DNA samples to show they are the thirteenth cousins twice removed from Jimmie Rodgers? Puh-leese.
What they are doing is not country. Heck, it's not even original. If you listen to the opening to "The Ballad of Big & Rich" is almost identical to Prince's "Let's go crazy." There is nothing innovative or country about their work. They are just a gumbo of pop music.
Just cause you put a cowboy hat on a dog turd, doesn't mean it's country. It's still a piece of....dog turd.
