Consider the following hypothetical situation. Suppose an environmental economist writes Americana, alt-country (whatever that is*) and roots songs, records them and puts them on an album. Would you be willing to pay $12.97 for this album?
- Yes
- No
- Don't Know
Now suppose this hypothetical situation is real**. You can actually buy the album at http://cdbaby.com/cd/jshogren. Don't by hypothetically biased!
*"Whatever that is" is the parenthetical remark made by the alt-country mag No Depression. Abandoning their roots, No Depression has broadened into "American music" ... (whatever that is) and watered down their brand. Sigh.
**I hope for this guy's sake he has tenure.
