Bachwoods Country

I got through an entire country album tonight (Welder by Elizabeth Cook for anybody who cares), so I'm celebrating with Bach. I had high hopes for it. But for the life of me I can't, try as I might, take any country newer than Johnny Cash seriously. It's just....tooo.....slow.... Every time I listen to a country radio station (and for novelty's sake, that does happen on occasion) I feel like I'm reading the Simple English Wikipedia page.
