Not that I mind the country/rock evolution, whether Garth Brooks or Keith Urban or other artists a lot younger than Loretta Lynn.
But this is classic old-style country.

I don't mind crossover music in some cases, like in the early days of Rock, when there was a lot of crossover between Rock, Country, and Blues. It's the modern Pop-Country that I don't like. It just sounds pre-packaged and inauthentic to me. It sells albums, though, so I understand why they do it. That kind of money is hard to turn down.
