My Country, right or wrong

Article Abstract:

There are many things wrong with contemporary country music, according to Kurt Wagner, songwriter with cult country music band Lambchop. In particular, country music does not reflect modern life. He feels that country music would be much richer if songwriters wrote about what is actually happening in their lives. The members of Lambchop, who currently number 14, have committed themselves to reviving country music through complete honesty.
