The old boys were still doing it, but the effort by the recording industry was to change that. That is when the outlaw boys like Waylon and Willie rose to the surface and eventually guys like Randy Travis and Ricky Skaggs. In the '70s country rock and folk rock were my mainstays. Much of that was more country than what country stations were playing but it went totally ignored by the country music industry. Now what they call country is more rock than country...actually not as much rock as plain old pop, country pop is what I call it. Maybe the country rock I was digging on was too country. I'm talking about Gran Parsons, Emmy Lou Harris, Hoyt Axton...or Commander Cody for that matter.

Thanks for "Mama Hated Diesels" one of my faves, along with Seeds and Stems.
Here is something else I was listening to way back when!
