Newsweek Calls Out the ACM’s / Pop Country

Check out the IBWIP Podcast
0 CommentsThe It Burns When I Pee Podcast needs help people. No, I’m not talking about castration, a flea dip, and electro-shock therapy (though Jeebus knows they could use this as well.) No, they need your ears, simple as that. Sure you could also go to the IBWIP Store and be tempted by the lifted skirt […]
Poppa Chubby & Galea in Vicious Country
1 CommentTake one of the best living guitar players pound for pound (and Chubby’s got a few pounds to count), and the most bad-ass bass plucking bad housewife whose got more balls than the boys blabbing out bad country on 98.1, and you got yourself some pretty Vicious Country my friends.

Jamey Johnson – Real Deal or Patsy ?
82 CommentsI get a lot of questions from people. I think that questions are a really interesting way to judge the mood or the interest of people at any given time.

Justin Townes Earle
2 CommentsBeing the son or daughter of a famous country performer is a dichotomy. Sure, the name may help you get a contract from a record label, but for everyone that gives you a listen because of who you are, there will be another who writes you off as just living off the family name. You […]
The Power Of Video
3 CommentsWith technology, the strangleholds that major label have over artists are decreasing by the day.
