Remind me M Landau stuff , great music

That`s what im getting at. Just not my thing MO. Just like I prefer VH over Vai or Duane Allman over Clapton anyday of the week.

I agree to that in many ways. That doesn't take away from the fact that there are some great players there. It's the business side that screwed things up.

Country music for the most part, is just pop music with a southern accent. Nashville is just a music factory. Very few artists actually write their own songs all on their own. The publishing companies on Music Row have songwriters on staff. There are hundreds of studios in Nashville. Day in and day out it's musicians in there cutting songs for the songwriters to sell to the big artists, all in the name of the mighty dollar. That is how Chris Stapleton and Brad Paisley got started. They were staff songwriters.

A lot of the bigger studio players like Bukovac, Jerry McPhearson, and Kenny Greenburg are not really true country players. They were rock 'n roll players who came to Nashville looking for work. You can ask those guys, they will tell you they don't like a lot of the stuff they play on, but a man's gotta make a living.

The one session player youre hearing the most as of lately/last 5-7 years is Audley Freed. people just don't know it.

What that guy was playing transcends any genre or labeling. Great music, and that WAS fucking great, should be appreciated simply for it’s greatness, not dismissed for it’s affiliation to any genre, especially by a musician, who should know better. That’s just being closed minded.
