    Another excuse for boyband singers to get exposure from RTE. I doubt if this will have any real country music.

    1940s country music:

    We are not getting enough of this type of country music these days.

    Modern country music:

    We are getting way too much of this drivel passed off as country these days.

    The 1940s song is excellent and so ahead of its time when that was a good thing: out and out blues, clearly influenced by Robert Johnson and Big Boy Crudup, pointing to rock n roll. The modern Irish country song is awful, not a sign of the influence from the proper country blues stylings.
