Country music?

One of the Bacon Brothers responded to my slam of their song What think you all? Has anyone listened to the song? Am I wrong? Is it not country at all? Because I'll apologize to him even though I think he was snotty in his comment. I'm nothing if not willing to admit when I've fucked up and called a song all full of twang and guitars "country" when it's not.

(I won't retract the "bad" part, because, you know, subjectivity and all that.)

(no subject)

And no, I'm not being rhetorical. If the preponderence of my friends say "No, Serene, that's not country music," I'll certainly adjust my assessment of the song, though it will still 'read' as country to my brain.

(And I'll even put aside my knee-jerk "Hey, pal, I was making country music for a living when you were in short pants" remark because, well, he's old enough to be my dad. Just barely, but still. (He was born 17 years before I was, and when I was making country music, he was already 32 and had probably been a working musician for years by then.))
