Pity how it seems like current country is consumed with produicing stereotypical, pop teen female angst, Party Hardy, or I'm so country fried, I drive to town on my tractor wrapped in the flag. " It's a strange strange world we live in Master Jack"
The song I first learned was a smash it in 1964, again the prototypical first for many babyboomers "House of the Rising Sun" considered as the launch song of Folk Rock.
