What he's getting at is about like that station you talk about... No pop, pure country or in the words of Travis tritt "Put some drive in your country"
Basically a lot of the more popular of the texas scene would hit my list.. They are considered alternative country music (Pat Green,Cory Morrow, Cross Canadian, etc.) but are what a lot of Guys (and women) listen to in Texas...
I would agree on the outlaw country but some of it has been played to death but yeah David Allen Coe (Like Jack Daniels, if you please), Johnny Paycheck, etc... That's when women sang a lot of male liked songs too (Like some of Dolly Parton's early stuff)
On the rock, Those that have been described (definitely), Three Doors Down for sure..and Probably a case by case on the songs and artists afterwards (Like Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory" , but not some of his other material which would be deamed possibly too hard... more of a classic rock AOR middle ground like REO speedwagon)
But that would be my picks along with basically those described in other posts
Or in the words of new artist Keith Anderson play some "Three Chord Country And American Rock"
