All OCMS songs are either about fucking, drugs or dying.

Which makes them awesome.

"Sing Me Back Home" is a great song.

The Bakersfield sound is fantastic.

Regarding just how "rock" country has become. I'm at the New England Country Music Festival waiting for headliner Brad Paisley to come on. So far Sara Evans ended her set with Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me," Darius Rucker ended with Prince's "Purple Rain," and Jason Aldean closed his set with Kid Rock's "Cowboy."

I'm mortified to admit this to the general public, but I really like some country. Johnny Cash, like everyone else has said, is amazing. I love Patsy Cline too. Willie Nelson is another one of my favorites. Just listen to his album Teatro for some great stuff. Oh, and there's an awesome team up that Cash and Nelson did for VH1 Storytellers. Forgot to add The Mavericks to the list, but they're more Westernish.

Have you heard the album that Alison Krauss did with Robert Plant called Raising Sand?
