why a country blog.

Let me explain why this blog is devoted to the deepest cuts of contemporary country music.

First of all, if you didn't notice, country music is pretty much the only genre of music left where people are selling CDs and getting famous. Remember Hootie and the Blowfish, the alt-rock favorite? Enter Hootie himself, Darius Rucker, climbing to the top of the country chart with "Don't Think I Don't Think About It". Dude went country and got famous, which is pretty much how it goes these days in the drowning music industry. Also, let's face it, "Only Wanna Be With You" was a lap steel away from a Garth Brooks jam. Just sayin, we're not that surprised.

Although the blog world may be in a jizz-fest over whether or not Wavves are dissolving, pretty much everyone else isn't giving a shit while listening to Kenny Chesney. Country music is both hugely popular, and by all we've seen, weird as fuck. Really, this shit can get weirder than Kool Keith, and we've got the YouTube links to prove it. We're here to document the best and oddest of the tight jeans-wearing, Bud-swillin' world of contemporary country.

So kick it with Darius, and welcome to Blog For My Horses.
