I am thinking JUSTIN MOORE is making REAL country music.  I am a little slow sometimes because I’m very cynical about all the wannabe artists that major labels force on us.  I’ve had JUSTIN’s self-titled album for a few months now and at first listen, I definitely felt the vibe of the album and song “Small Town USA”.  However, I mistakenly filed him away as a “perpetrator” or “poser” artist as they say in the rap music world.

Then I watched this nearly year-old YouTube clip.  Now I am thinking… WOW, is it real?  What do y’all think?  I think this is yet another example of how the internet, technology, and YouTube are changing country music for the better.  If this is where JUSTIN really lived when this clip was made, he just jumped into the category of REAL country music in by book.  After listening to this album a few more times, I am thinking JUSTIN will be around a while.  Is JUSTIN a REAL country music artist?

After being very bored with the direction this site was taking, we decided to stop posting, step back from everything, re-tool, and seriously think about what we like about country music and what we don’t like about the country music business.  As a result, we are going to re-tool the page to focus our reporting on the good and REAL country music “out there” and less on the ridiculous country music and fake-ass country music artists.  We are open to criticism that we have been tricked and misguided into reporting on things that are sensational, stupid and PR fluff… We promise to work harder at keeping thing real.

What should we be reporting on that we are overlooking?

Please tell us if you find some real country music “out there” that we should know about.

Thank you everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
