Different strokes for different folks I suppose, but let's be honest here, what John Glenn and his cohorts sing is definitely NOT country music. It's a hybrid of Irish and country with a bit of "whatever you're having yourself" thrown in. He'd be ran out of Nashville, Bakersfield or Austin, Texas!

Opinions vary Angel, and thanks for the music lesson, but I already know too much about the drivel that's marketed as Irish Country, Country 'n' Irish or whatever you want to call it. Real country music comes from singers such as Gene Watson, Ricky Skaggs, Buck Owens, George Jones, George Strait, Patsy Cline, et al, not those imposters who almost single-handedly murdered a vibrant Irish music industry in the early '70s.

P.S: You can address me directly, you don't have to call me "that person", I'm Francis. :)
