      It's nice to hear someone with similar views!! No one ever gives credit to the late 80's to early 90's era. Country had its greatest sound during this period, as I argued once in a college paper! It had just figured out how to refine & get that perfect sound --not too pop but traditional sounds remained dominant! It died when Garth & Shania's sound started forcing Country to change it's sound.

I was a DJ while I work my way through the police academy so I can stand some power rock music but that's about all power Rock😅 there is a close relationship between country and power Rock they both tell a story story and they're both a form of the blues
