<description><![CDATA[Brad Paisley has a bit more going for him than your average Nashville molded hunk-in-a-hat. Before moving to Music City, he was a teenage phenomenon in his native West Virginia. Leading a country band, Paisley sang in a mature voice and played a wicked Bakersfield honky-tonk-influenced lead guitar. When he got to Nashville, he quickly nailed a publishing deal, which in turn led to a recording contract. Paisley wrote or co-wrote every song and played lead guitar on his 1999 debut <i>Who Needs Pictures</i>. In 2003, he released chart-topper <I>Mud on the Tires</I>. <I>Time Well Wasted</I> came at the end of 2005, and earned him both the CMA and ACM award for Album of the Year, as well as four Grammy nominations. A few months after Paisley's son William Huckleberry was born in 2007, his sixth album, <I>5th Gear</I>, was released. The album succeeded with a handful of hit singles and a Grammy for the instrumental track, "Throttleneck." Perhaps the award was inspiration for his next album, the largely instrumental effort, <I>Play</I>.

<description><![CDATA[New Country comedian Rodney Carrington performs standup routines and humorous songs that focus on the inherent comedy of redneck lifestyles and de-sanctifying Nashville myths. He got his start on morning radio and has built a loyal following through extensive club tours and appearances on TNN. He's best known for the novelty hit "Fred."

<description><![CDATA[Bill Engvall specializes in a down-home brand of humor much like that of his drawling doppelganger, Jeff Foxworthy. Engvall's conversational, observational bits are a little more sophisticated than Foxworthy's, but just as family-friendly. Cosby-like jokes about his kids, Leno-worthy gags about factory outlet malls and Branson, Missouri, and such safe words as "passing gas" give people a chance to laugh without having to blush.

<description><![CDATA[An undervalued songwriter in the '50s and '60s, Roger Miller will undoubtedly be known as the man who sang goofy yokel anthems like "Do-Wacka-Do," "Chug-A-Lug," and "You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd." In addition, he is behind the perennial favorite, "King of the Road." A master of Country Pop, his simple, infectious music yielded hits for artists like Ray Price, George Jones, and Ernest Tubb before his own releases garnered crossover success in the folk and pop arenas in the mid-'60s. Silliness aside, his value as a craftsman cannot be denied; he remains a major influence to creative Country artists ranging from k.d. lang to Dwight Yoakam.

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been listening to an oldies station and almost choked upon hearing "Ahab The Arab"? You were probably thinking to yourself (especially in the wake of September 11), "Who could have written such a song?" Well, Ray Stevens has been writing such novelty (and parody) material since 1961. That's right, he predated such geniuses as Weird Al Yankovick and Cledus T. Judd. For a while it seemed Stevens was entertaining notions of hanging up his novelty hat -- he found chart success with a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and his own songs "Everything Is Beautiful" and "The Streak." Fear not; Stevens returned to Country Humor in the '80s and has stayed there ever since.

<description><![CDATA[Comedian Jeff Foxworthy fried his "average Joe" personality deep in white Southern culture and took redneck humor to national levels of popularity. His stand-up albums have sold in the millions (including an almost noble attempt at humor-laced Honky-Tonk country music) and he had a respectable run on television. While his fifteen minutes of fame as a crossover star are up, he remains a big comedic draw. If you enjoy line dancing around a pickup while sucking down a Schlitz, Foxworthy's still your man.

<description><![CDATA[Larry the Cable Guy started out doing humor bits for a radio station in Florida. As his popularity grew, Larry (whose real name is Dan Whitney) parlayed his bits into a proper stand-up routine and hit the comedy clubs in the Tampa Bay area. His big break came when fellow Southerner Jeff Foxworthy pitched the idea of a comedy tour loosely based on the <I>Kings of Comedy</I>, and asked Larry the Cable Guy to join. The <I>Blue Collar Comedy Tour</I>, which also included Bill Engval, was successful enough to spawn a movie and CD. And while Foxworthy and Engval were clearly the headliners, Larry the Cable Guy gave those well-established comedians a solid run for their money each night of the tour. The positive press and national exposure led to Larry the Cable Guy's own record deal, which saw the release of <I>Lord, I Apologize</I> in 2001.

<description><![CDATA[Dapper trio the Boxmasters play a breed of country that Nashville cats don't make any more, hilariously depicting the lives of wanderlust middle-aged schlubs whose best days are behind them. Basically, their template seems to be the loser in the Statler Brothers' 1965 "Flowers on the Wall" who plays solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of 51. Since no other active band excels at this sort of sport, it's no surprise these guys come off as sensitive about the news peg journalists inevitably latch onto: namely, that frontman W.R. "Bud" Thornton is better known as Billy Bob. But this is no vanity act, and it's hard to imagine musicians working harder to camouflage the celebrity angle. In 10 months, between June 2008 and April 2009, the Boxmasters released the equivalent of five full-lengths -- two double-discs (each split between originals and covers) plus a more perfunctory holiday set. The originals sardonically focus on deceit in love and business, husbands in the doghouse and self-imposed financial disaster; the covers venture beyond country to rope in rocking Brits from the Beatles to Mott the Hoople -- which might explain why the band titled its 2009 album <I>Modbilly</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Tim Wilson's knack for comedy showed itself as far back as grammar school, where his impersonations of various teachers were always a class favorite. However, the
Atlanta native grew up nurturing a dream of becoming a singer. In fact, Wilson went as far as recording a demo with a member of the Atlanta Rhythm Section and sent it around to record companies, where it languished on the desks of A&R people on the East Coast. About the same time, he tried his hand at an open mic comedy night. Well and truly bitten by the comedy bug, Wilson often toured from Georgia up to New York City, stopping in at radio shows along the way to promote his shows and introduce the people to his country-style sense of humor. Eventually, Wilson gleaned a substantial following and competed in Cinemax's stand-up competition -- and won. Appearances on the <I>Tonight Show With Jay Leno</I> and roles in television shows such as <I>Grace Under Fire</I> followed, but it was the success of the song "Arab, Alabama," that most shaped Wilson's act. Up until then, Wilson kept his love for music separate from his comedy, but the song's success convinced him to incorporate music into his stand-up act. Wilson signed to Capitol Records in 1999 and has released six albums for the label.

<description><![CDATA[Roy Clark seemed to personify country music in the 1970s. His voice carried a true grit behind his warm personality that translated well to television audiences everywhere; from his brief stints filling in for host Johnny Carson on <i>The Tonight Show</i>, as well as a long, prolonged career hosting the ever-popular <i>Hee Haw</i>. He even appeared on a few episodes of <i>The Beverly Hillbillies</i>. Although Clark was a skilled picker of strings and singer of songs, he fancied himself as an entertainer rather than a musician. His version of Country Pop was a little more torn and frayed than what was coming out of the radio at the time. Conversely, his recordings reflected something much softer and less threatening than the Country Rock echoing in the canyons of the West Coast.

<description><![CDATA[The Missouri born Husky was a major star in the 1960s with his lush Nashville Sound records, characterized by his biggest hit "Wings of a Dove". Husky's voice is an amazing instrument able to swoop from a rumbling baritone up into a quavering tenor, giving his records a sweeping, dramatic grandeur. In the 1950s he recorded a number of Honky Tonk sides under the name Terry Preston, which he thought sounded less "country" than his given name. when he signed to Capitol records in the 1960s he changed back to his given name and began hitting the charts. His hits had all but dried up by the 1970s, but he remained a popular concert attraction.

<description><![CDATA[Jerry Clower was one of the most respected and yet underappreciated of country humor artists, who never made it as big as Minnie Pearl, but who influenced almost everyone who ever graced the <I>Hee Haw</I> stage to contemporary comedians like Jeff Foxworthy and Cledus T. Judd.

<description><![CDATA[South Carolina bassist Kelley and Kentucky guitarist Jessi got together in the mid-'00s at the Southern Girls Rock & Roll Camp, founded by Kelley in Murfreesboro , Tennessee . Not long after, they were joined by Virginia-raised baritone ukulele plucker Nikki. At that point, they were a cowpunk power trio, all sharing the fake surname Darlin. In 2006, they commenced performing inebriated live gigs during which crowd members noted their raucous hick energy, three-way harmonies, less-then-reverent wit, ability to trade instruments, shapely gams and snazzy cowboy boots. By 2008, the Darlins were showcasing their hot-mama hybrid of old-timey white blues, rockabilly and pub-rock on disc: A three-song teaser EP was highlighted by numbers about living snaggle-toothed in a middle-of-nowhere shack and about coming home after too many drinks and devouring an entire chicken found in the fridge. A four-song live and "field recording" CD-R added renditions of "Tom Dooley" and Ernest Tubb's "Nails in My Coffin." Their uproarious debut album, produced with chamber-pop additives by Jeff Curtin, but sounding nothing like his more famous studio understudies Vampire Weekend, followed in 2009.

<description><![CDATA[After listening to the blue country humor songs of Roger Alan Wade, it will probably come as no surprise to you that he contributed music to the soundtrack of the MTV <I>Jackass</I> movie. And with songs titles like "Butt Ugly Slut" or "Poontang," you'll be equally unsurprised to learn that he's a favorite of the <I>Howard Stern Show</I>. Hell, you might even liken his talent to the outsider "art songs" of the late Wesley Willis after hearing "All Likkered Up." But what you probably <I>don't</I> know is that Roger Alan Wade is a genius who spends his time in libraries reading Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, James Joyce, Marcel Proust, T.S. Eliot and John Steinbeck. The man has also scribed songs sung and recorded by the likes of Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Barbara Mandrell, Confederate Railroad and Waylon Jennings.

<description><![CDATA[Lewis Grizzard plays country music for people who actually enjoy comedians. His Country Humor has entertained many hard-working folks ever since the golden '80s. Without even trying, Grizzard does a good imitation of Kris Kristofferson, with his low and grumbling voice weaving in and out of four-chord changes.

<description><![CDATA[They're from Austin but Lounge they are not. This tight, progressive-leaning Bluegrass outfit widen the appeal of their music with knee-slapping humor and cutting commentary on current events. A <i>Hee-Haw</i> comparison is the obvious one, but only if Dennis Miller were hired to do the writing -- this is <i>Hee Haw</i> with a high level of erudition and irony.

<description><![CDATA[Rex Allen, a.k.a. the "Arizona Cowboy" was Hollywood's last Singing Cowboy. He starred in almost twenty musical western movies for Republic Studios between 1950 and 1954 (many of which co-starred Slim Pickens). His acting spawned a recording career that lasted through the end 1950s. It was around this time that the Singing Cowboys were becoming extinct, and Allen soon found himself singing for Disneyland. His songs are usually lighthearted ditties with subtle Country Swing tones. His old commercial Western crooning has an androgynous appeal in that his voice gets close to falsetto.

<description><![CDATA[Riding the hotshot Country Humor train with plenty of raunchy, Jerry Springer-esque white-trash jokes, McGrew basically rehashes those old lines that begin "you know you're a redneck if...." He sheds light on the wacky aspects of married life in today's working class world.

<description><![CDATA[Banjo & Sullivan are a comedic country duo that appears in the Rob Zombie
flick <I> The Devil's Rejects</I>. "Roy Sullivan" and "Adam Fingers Banjo"
play a range of country styles, from bluegrass to countrypolitan to country
rock with the one constant being their mission to offend the stupid and
amuse the smart. Or maybe it's the other way around.

<description><![CDATA[Michael Johnathon has been infusing bits and pieces of New Traditional Bluegrass into the nooks and crannies of his trademark Americana Singer-Songwriter style for almost a decade. In the early 1980s he moved from New York to rural Mousie, Ky., to stroll around the Appalachians, where he would gladly play his unique brand of Cosmic American Music to school children and people at the fairgrounds (carnies included). His voice blends old-timey influences from his record collection with his own young-hearted enthusiasm. Johnathon's always optimistic songs seem to sustain childlike innocence in their wide-eyed observations. Other times he can jump right into witty sarcasm and poke fun at the digital age.

<description><![CDATA[A playful confusion of folk and Bluegrass with barbershop harmonies and comic lyrics about sex in volcanoes and penguins in love. Solid musicianship keeps this from sounding merely goofy, and to their credit, no other band has dared to declare a dual residence in Margaritaville and Nashville (which is probably a good thing).

<description><![CDATA[Country comedy duo who specialize in send-ups of country music. Together since the early 1960s, they had their first hit in the '90s with "Help, I'm White and I Can't Get Down" a parody of country music and rap that abounded with slightly crude cultural stereotypes.

<description><![CDATA[The Kerosene Brothers' first album, <I>A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC</I> sold over 100,000 copies. The insurgent twang rock combo has been known to open shows for themselves under the Hayseed Dixie moniker. Under that name, they put out an album called <I>Kiss My Grass: A Hillbilly Tribute to KISS</I>. Their own music is just as fun and novel in a hot rod flames and trailer trashploitation kind of way.
