Does he pass your exacting country test, Dave?

My son - always on the hunt for rootsy Americana - drove me nuts with this guy who is only 23 and Canadian btw. I finally succumbed and bought his three CDs.

Gordon Lightfoot, listening to The White Buffalo (or just watching anything Kurt Sutter produced), with Waylon's hat. Odd. Not bad. Very Canadian.

Rootsy Americana is a good description. Not traditional country. Not bad at all.

Younger guys playing real country? Listen to the Malpass Brothers, at home with originals and classic covers.

Colter Wall personifies more the philosophical concepts of "absence of haircut" and/or "coiffeur void".

But then in Canada ... why care?

Only in Summer; you know, non-touque weather aka shaving weather (you can't shave during hockey playoffs, and also movember, and why bother in between really). We get those sometimes; think you cauwitnewssed it once.

Since today is Moe Bandy's 75th birthday, here's some real country for Uwe.

Not foolin'me: That mandolin is freakin' Italian faster than you can bark wop-wop!

Believe it or not, Barbara Bush was one of Moe's biggest fans. She wrote the foreword to his autobiography which he published last year.

I always liked her. A robust American lady.

I never thought of her the same way after seeing The Naked Gun 2 1/2.

NOT FAIR!!! It was her hubby who sometimes got caught up with his legs, not her!

Here's something that passes the country test while also being cerebral at the same time. There, now everyone's happy.

Now I have a label for my occasional unplanned musical deviations...I'm going "atonal."

Merle Hazard LOL! He's a Nashville economist and investment advisor, real name Jon Shayne.

One of his earlier efforts (from 2007)
