"Isn't most folk music like that......two or three themes that are followed religiously? " There are themes, sure. But Nashville is, well, Nashville. Ever hear David Allen Coe's perfect C&W song? Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song and he told me it was the perfect country and western song I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect country and western song because he hadn't said anything about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk. Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here: Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison. And I went to pick her up in the rain. But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got runned over by a damned old train. leoslyrics.com "Do most people in TX like country?" It can be hard to avoid. There is a lot of music of various types here. Various types of country are popular, Nashville gets a lot of play in the larger cities, not as much outside of them. "actually more Austin country." Which is very different than Nashville. And nowhere near as formulaic. If you go back over their last few albums, The Chicks have been tacking hard in the direction of Austin.
