I haven't been posting here for very long, but I've been coming here to read for quite some time.

I've been to a number of members sites, soundclick seems to be a fav, and I've listened to a lot of stuff I wouldn't have taken the time to record. Some of what I've heard, to be honest, is so lame it would embarass me to have anyone hear it.

The thing I'm trying to figure out is why so many list the genre as country when it's more like folk, blues, or some new wave acoustic americana stuff.

Granted, country has gone through a lot of changes over the years, but it still has a fairly distinctive feel and sound.
