Odds & Ends

This is cool

I've heard country and rap mixed together before, mostly to horrible effect (I'm looking at you, CBT), but this is completely different, in sound and artistic merit. Gangstagrass is a mash up of real hip-hop and bluegrass (and some country blues). It's not as gimmicky as early attempts at this blend, and all genres are strongly presented in their use. Be warned that the hip-hop is gritty and explicit, but this is a unique and interesting sound for sure! The album is posted free here: http://gangstagrass.com/

I actually like George but...

...the picture of him pulling on that locked door at that China press conference was too good not to Photocrap.

Country Day: January 09

No more numbering the country album cover days... they're monthly anyway.

My other Rascal Flatts cover contest submission

This one's a little more traditional (and a little less stomach turning... but only marginally so)
