Canadian Country Music Awards on CBC last night.
1. Rick Mercer the host? what ? and Jan Arden? She's from Alberta. that's it. that's her connection to country music.
There's all kinds of people who would have made more sense.
2. Awful music. Pop chart Country music these days is drivel. no steel guitar, no fiddles to speak of, no twang, no feeling in the tunes or the performers.
too bad. There were performers on that show, who could not sing in tune. not even close.
The only good performance I saw was Terry Clark.
Otherwise….. pretty bad.
There's a ton of good country being written and played, but it never makes it to award shows.
my favourite Canadian country music singer is Lindy Ortega.
American… Sturgill Simpson.
Anyone waste any time on that thing?
