Well the mainstream stuff you hear on the radio appeal to a wider group of people especially age 13-25.

Believe me there are plenty of people out there who love traditional Country music (myself included) but its just not the same numbers of buyers as the people who dig the pop Country. So the major labels put out what sells, thats their job and ultimately it comes down to the people and who is buying what that determines much of this stuff.

I like some of the mainstream Country stuff too, such as Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson etc but I really love Waylon Jennings & Merle Haggard

If you get the TV channel RFD-TV check out the Marty Stuart Show, it is awesome and features old school Country music
