You guys amaze me. Are you saying that 3-chord country songs suck? You just killed 80% of the catalog of Hank Williams. C'mon.

On the other hand, I will take a good country song ANY day over 99% of all jazz songs. As will 99% of the public. Just because you can play a bazillion chords and a bazillion notes and improv on the fly does not make good. I like it about 5 minutes and I'm done. I respect jazz players talend but I respect opera singers talent, too, and I'm not into opera.

So, there.

EDIT: I just thought of something else. Most of you know I focus on original songs. I am a songwriter, first, a performer second. And the hardest thing to do is write a GREAT... SIMPLE song. Believe it or not.

Simple can be VERY good.
