Like this song for instance Mike? The thing is, there is nothing wrong with mixing genres, that's what Glen did after all. But still, the results can be beautiful or... terrible, like in this case.

Yeah Cowpoke, I have noticed trucks feature a lot in the new songs. It almost like watching a rap/country video. LOL.
Bling seems top be popular in both types of music.

Merle is telling it like it is, as far as I'm concerned.
