This is where I’m going to document my 2008 New Year’s Resolution: to learn more about country music. I’m a relative novice to this genre; I grew up in New Orleans until I was 8 and spent my summers in Baton Rouge until I was 13, so have some exposure, but most of my US-time was spent on the West Coast or in the North and the Midwest. Now live far away from the American South, and while there’s some country in the UK, you’ve got to look for it.
I chose this as my NYR ’cause I like to think I know about all kinds of music. Turns out, I know very little about country. Perhaps my ignorance was spawned of a mistaken prejudice or a desire to be different – or indeed a desire to fit in! – but now that I’m older I’m ready for the wave of tunes to crash over my hi-fi.
I hope you enjoy my journey, and please do help with any guidance you might be able to offer!
Aleks
