I can’t tell you how many times I introduced more modern country songs into my act and heard my wife call out “Stop playing that Heavy Metal” while I was practicing.


Traditional country, hill music, was transformed by AM radio,
Grand Old Oprey, (the Mecca,) the record business, in that order, incrementally. Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, and Southern Rock in the 60's, becoming more bluesy and daring both in subject matter and performers public personas. I think modern entered the picture first as crossover then as a genre directed at broadening the audience. That was about 1) sales and 2) the shrinking world.
Just a casual and impartial observer, speaking.
