I saw Keith Urban this morning on the Today Show. He did a great job in the interview and the song that followed. Thanks to High Definition, I noticed generous use of stage make-up and wondered how old Waylon Jennings or Willie Nelson would think of this new-fangled Country style. Today’s Country is more like the Glam Rock of the early 1970’s. Urban appeared more like David Bowie than he did the Outlaws he tried to emulate (not to mention he’s Australian, for crying out loud). Don’t get me wrong I am a little bit Country and a little bit Rock-n-Roll. Okay, maybe calling new Country “Glam” is a bit extreme, but it’s not the real deal.
Stay tuned
