Country music is changing. Ever so slightly.

This is Phil Vassar. Jeff and I heard this song on the radio earlier in the year while camping at Deep Creek Lake. Completely unexpected from the backwoods radio station we had on. I think it's cute and worth the watch/listen.

Quite a bit of 'new country' has brought with it edgier lyrics, more diverse themes and more worldly thinking from younger generations and from other genres like rock and soul. It's about time. The old guard is not all closed-minded. After all, Willie Nelson did this song for Brokeback Mountain. Of course it became known as "The Gay Cowboy Song", but he did not even write it. It was done long before by someone I don't remember, but it's so perfect in this context.
