Lately, there has been a trend of pop/rock artists reinventing themselves as country artists. And it has become rather annoying. It all started a couple of years ago when Jon Bon Jovi released a country album that went nowhere. This year, Jessica Simpson and now Darius Rucker have released country albums, and although the sales have been positive, this "comeback" strategy still reeks of desperation. Not that today's country music stars are worth a shit to begin with. With very few exceptions, the music on today's country music charts would make Eddy Arnold puke. It also doesn't help when you have posers like Kid Rock releasing piece of crap singles to country radio as well. These artists need to stick with what they know, even if it isn't much to begin with.

Hey DUDE. Aren't you giving these people undue credit by referring to them as artists? (They're just hacks, giving country music a baaaaad name.)
It confirms how badly country music has declined over the past 15 years. I'm speaking of Popular country that you hear on the radio. There are still some great country artists out there, but they'd rather have another description for their music and I don't blame them. :)
Dude, I totally didn't know Hootie went country. Funneh.
