I gave some consideration to Exile, because they did produce some pretty good country songs over the years. But “Kiss You All Over” was more than enough to keep them out.

As for the Eagles, I was just pulling your chain a little JP, we’ve had this convo before. They are really sorta hard to put a label on, but I do think they are the quintessential American band, and Henley and Frey were sorta the American equivalent of Lennon-McCartney, just not to the same culture changing extent.

Putting labels on music can cost you from hearing some really good music. Case in point. I really like Keith Urban, saw him a few months ago at Rupp and he was fabulous. He is labeled a country artist, if you don’t care for country you might not give him a try. But the only thing ‘country’ about him is he’s from a country. This was a full scale rock and roll show. That’s just one example, gotta let yourself be open to at least listening to pretty much anything.
