I guess I would add: I don't rush out to buy those songs or the albums they are on because they don't personally appeal to me to THAT LEVEL: not a whole lot of Telecaster chicken pickin other than Brad Paisley (who I do really like), a whole lot of Eagles & Allman Brothers influences and not a lot of Johnny Cash or Ray Price influences...

But that's just my personal preferences that influence my buying habits. (I do plan on buying Brad Paisley's latest CD). At the age of 45 I am way out the main demographic that the major labels are aiming at...

Having said that I think the writing and the production in general is stunningly GREAT for what it is. I can listen to something on CMT and just marvel at how great the studio musicians are (Eddie Bayers anyone? Good LORD is he great...) or how extremely well put together the hooks of the songs are....
