A great quote by Harlan Howard "Country music is three chords and the truth"
It was an interesting observation in Willie Nelson's autobiography which I read years ago. According to Willie when he was first writing songs in Nashville he started working other chords into his progressions taking the lead of other popular music and met with quite a bit of resistence. According to him it was only after the song "Crazy" was recorded by Patsy Cline and was a huge hit that the other writers quit pitching him crap about it. I don't know how much truth there is to that.
