RAGWEED, TURNPIKE AND HOW “THE BOYS FROM OKLAHOMA” ARE SAVING COUNTRY MUSIC

Nashville radio is a cesspool. That’s not to say all the artists in it are bad, but the things it stands for and represents are. It is a homogenous breeding ground for the same cookie-cutter acts singing about trucks, beer and heartache.
