Young people listening to country, what the fuck? Monaghan had the inbred yokel festival at the weekend, and the amount of teenagers and twentysomethings going to it is mental.  When we were that age, nobody listened to that shit. You had the indie fans, the metalheads, ravers, pop fans, nobody listened to country, everyone considered it crap that old fogeys listened to on Northern Sound.

It's like a generation of young Ryan Tubridys has been spawned.

Go away with yer ould head banging, this is much more craic.

Get your hands on the 'Hillbilly Country' LP by Ray Lynam & The Hillbillies from 1971.  Mighty American style country. Get that playing and you'll be mainlining Big Tom before too long.
