COUNTRY MUSIC IS OR IS NOT
You said it George.
It's amazing, since establishing the name Country Frame of Mind Promotions, people have been sending songs I guess they consider Country Music. Maybe they want me to promote them. After all I am doing this free. As of today that is what it's worth. What I do is a tiny fraction of what promotion companies do. But that could change someday. That is why I have established the name.
I guess part of promoting Country music is explaining what Country music is or is not. To let artists know what is expected. To let you know in advance what will be rejected. I will probably never reject anyone for being "too country for country music," as Randy Travis once was. You might be told you are not Country enough. Or you're not Country at all. I've already had to tell one fella he ain't Country. And to my surprise, he thanked me.
I could go into the history of Country music about how it got started and how it got to where it is today. But I'd rather do what I do best. Just let the music show you what Country music is.
THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC
Many Country stations claim to play "Today's Best Country."
THIS IS TODAY'S BEST COUNTRY
If your Country station is not playing music like that they are not playing today's best Country.
But, I have heard them play this...
What braindead dufus decided to promote that as Country. Well it won't happen at Country Frame of Mind Promotions. We will only promote Country music that sounds like Country music, the way it should be.
Call your local Country station and tell them to play true Country Music!
