Yes its true, we piss and moan about pop country a lot around here. Maybe too much. I get emails for people upon occasion saying “Yeah, I hate pop country too, but who cares? Just don’t listen to it if you don’t like it. No need to make such a big deal about it.” Artists […]

This Reinstate Hank video was a collaboration of Sugar writing an amazing letter, Mr. Bandana doing an excellent, heartfelt job reading, and Big D’s Redneck Minute for providing the gear and behind-the-scenes help.
