Country music legend George Jones has some pretty harsh words for the likes of Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift. In an article posted on The Boot George is quoted as saying:
“They’ve stolen our identity.” And, he maintains, they need to give it back and move on to another genre. “They had to use something that was established already, and that’s traditional country music. So what they need to do really, I think, is find their own title, because they’re definitely not traditional country music.”
George isn’t crapping out on all of country music, he says there is still some hope with Alan Jackson and George Strait still topping the charts.
I guess there is no teaching this old dog new tricks.

Carry Underwood and Taylor are pop singers who’s lyrics are sang over country like musical accompaniments. To say that Carry “American Idol” Underwood is real country is like saying Taco Bell is authentic mexican food.
Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are NOT country! (Most country artists on radio these days are not country). I did country radio as a DJ for 30 years. I quit in 2008 because I could not stand what I was playing. What is wrong with Country Music sounding country? Carrie Underwood…Taylor Swift….GET REAL! That is junk, not country.
