country music at it's lowest point

We have to thank uploader Mr Grady Smith for this video "Why Country Music Was Awful in 2013".
He has isolated lyrics in mainstream (nu) country music for the year. If you'd like replace this style with most other mainstream pop, rock, metal or rap, the lyrics may alter but the formula will not. We are now waist deep in the crap.
Let's hope it's 'Vive la difference' for 2014.

    "I was inspired to make this supercut after posting my 10 Best Country Albums of 2013 list for EW. A few commenters told me that my choices weren't mainstream enough, and I thought, "Well, yeah, because so much of what's on the radio these days sounds exactly the same!" So I decided to make a video to prove my point.
    I hope country fans will stop settling for this derivative junk. I love a dumb party song every once in a while (including some of these!), but when they're the only flavor available, they get old very, very fast."

rebel meets rebel

Rebel meets Rebel is a country metal album by the band of the same name. It was a one off record written by Pantera members Dimebag Darrel, Rex Brown and Vinne Paul along with American country singer David Allan Coe. 

The idea for the album was inspired when Dimebag Darrell met Coe at the end of the 90's and they were discussing the similarities between metal and country music. The album was recorded between 1999 and 2003 when the musicians had time away from their own bands and was released in 2006, two years after Dimebag Darrel was murdered. The album's theme is mainly a humerous representaion of South American life but also has a few serious undertones. 

The album was widely accept by fans of both genres of music and has been described as a groundbreaking mix of country music and heavy metal. There are no live recordings of the band, which is a shame but have a listen to Cowboys Do More Dope by Rebel Meets Rebel
