Quotes from the book "Country Conversations" by Timothy Edward Jones:
"The next time you're in Nashville, take a walk down Broadway and visit Robert's Western World. It's a little beer joint that also sells cowboy boots. There you will discover the essence of country music. The air in there is permeated with the smell of cigarette smoke, alcohol and leather. And the sound is solid-gold country. I recently had the pleasure of hearing a young man with a big future in traditional country music there at Robert's. Remember this name: Dave Cox. He's the real deal."
"I'll be honest; I don't buy any CDs from any of the new mainstream country artists. When I do buy a music CD, I tend to put my money on a sure thing like Billy Joe Shaver or Dwight Yoakam. And much more than that, I spend most of my money on CDs by non-mainstream artists like Dave Cox... It seems that there are far better country artists out there than those whose songs are being played on radio or video channels."
