Or dismissing a whole cities worth of music in one lump sum…
[/QB]
let me feed the troll……
I thought it was better than saying, "They come from Nashville, I hate modern country, but they are very far removed from those stereotypes"
vs
"What's worse is they are from Nashville , TN , and it really doesn't conjure up a good mental image, but dispel thoughts of rhinestones and Dolly Parton."
How would you have conveyed the same info?

I'm not getting the rolling eyes….I'm wondering why ggw seems to be ferreting out trolls/lurkers today in particular and in numerous threads. Why does he think there are particularly a lot of lurkers today? Is it hfstival.com related??

Unfortunately, the picture says Troll
s. There is only one troll, his name is Rhett, although he has many aliases. You may have noticed that he started out the day by responding to each active thread with a strong, contrary post.
I think the roll-eyes indicate Tammy's surprise that you hadn't figured out that I was referring to her man.

I don't automatically jump to the negative reading of these things; I didn't see that at all. Yeah, call me dense, I know I'm just not nasty and didn't think of your husband as a troll right off the bat….sorry, next time I will.

I would have approached it as saying they are derived more from the countrypolitan sounds of Nashville circa 1970 than being associated with the current sound of mainstream Nashville.
By only referencing the stereotype of modern country (of which Dolly Parton is NOT a part of, by the way), you ignore such current non-mainstream outlaws as Steve Earle, EmmyLou Harris, BR549, Lucinda Williams, etc. to which Lambchop may be aligned with, if not in sound, at least in spirit.
There is great music coming out of Nashville, and it doesn't begin and end with Lambchop.

How do you get a good point/counterpoint discussion going, if not but to offer a strong contrary opinion?
Sometimes a music board needs some argumentation; more than reports on soccer scores 3000 miles away, or opinions on music downloading and ipods. Boooorrring.
But that's just my opinion.

I would think, rhett, that you'd slam someone for using a term like countrypolitan.
"Countrypolitan" -
245 gorgeous homes combining the warmth of the country with the amenities of today's most innovative designs.

I was dreading writing the review and put it off many times. I really do have strong personal negative connotations with Nashville. But I dont know enough about it, but then I am not really interested in it.
I have read a lot of other lambchop reviews and they have always had trouble aligning their sound to other bands. Right I am off to countrypolitan.com for some post event research, thanks.

No. I'm not looking to stir up all the other posters, just the opposite.
