Kenny Chesney is pop. Brad Paisley is pop. George Strait is questionable.
But this is neither here nor there about this thread. Kanye is a douchenozzle.

Hello, welcome to this millenium.
There is no doubt that Haggard, Cash, Nelson, etc. were country in their own time, but that time has come and gone. Country music has evolved, obviously, and KC, Brad Paisley, and yes, Taylor Swift are examples of what country music is today.

Actually, they're examples of what Nashville country today is. That is, pop music.
Here's a whole list of country music today:
Old Crow Medicine Show, Cory Morrow, Kevin Fowler, Randy Rogers Band, Aaron Watson, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Jason Isbell, Drive By Truckers, Robert Earl Keen, Ryan Bingham, Sons of Bill, Adam Hood, The Bottle Rockets, Bleu Edmondson, etc etc.
There's ton of "real" country music out there. Where times have not changed so much and boy bands like Rascal Flatts aren't there.

Haha, I consider it a compliment.

Bump because George Jones is effing awesome.
In an unrelated incident, Taylor's eyes are starting to freak me out (first on the SNL ad and now in the above picture).

Love Carrie, don't like Taylor so much.
I have to disagree with Mr. Jones. I wish Taylor would STAY with country and stay the hell off of my Pop radio stations

If evolved means "turned into absolute unlistenable shit" well then yes, it certainly has evolved.
EW, you need to come up to Clarion for homecoming because the one bar plays exactly all that stuff you dig, all day. It's awesome.
