Home For Country Purists

Country purists who miss the old days should tune in to RFD-TV's music programming. Old Ralph Emery shows, Wilburn Brothers, Porter Wagoner make up the bulk of the music shows. On the Emery shows from the mid 70's to early 80's you can chart Country's move to Pop, before the mid-80's New Traditionalists kicked out the keyboards and brought back steel guitars. I've never been a big Emery fan, find him too pompous, but his new call in show with guests like Tom T. Hall, Ronnie Milsap serve a purpose for Old Timers. The latter movement has once again been replaced by today's Country chart's which are pure Pop/Rock.
