Glad I spent so much time creating a great iTunes music collection, listening to the radio now is just painful.

RIP 89x



I assure you... except for a small pocket of people in the Windsor Ontario region, the rest of Canada has absolutely no affiliation and/or even knowledge of 89x.

I followed RWDPLZ's link and in the article I found this:

quote
The first song of the “Pure Country 89″ era was “Cruise” by Florida-Georgia Line.


Based on that, calling themselves "Pure Country' is akin to CNN calling themselves "News".

Let me know when they play something like this:



Listen and you will hear the greatest pedal steel player ever to slide a bar.

Attention... this is the new country. I admit that Orville Peck is... a little different, but there's no denying that this guy has a great voice.

"Dedicated listeners were warned they probably wouldn’t like the change, according to the announcement".

The article didn't say, but I'll assume the change also brings layoffs to most of the air staff as the new format introduces a whole bunch of syndicated pre-recorded shows and automated programming.

I get it... the guy's a little different than a lot of us. But hey, I don't care about an entertainer's politics, religion, race, sexual orientation... whatever. If they have talent, and I like what I hear, bring it on. This guy can sing.

This is what it sounds like when a punk rocker goes country:



Marty is playing Clarence White's B-bender and the steel player is Earl Scruggs' grandson.
