I feel like in the 80s and 90s not ALL country singers sang with a twang fake accent. Some did others didnt. Now they ALL do. It's so annoying. There is no reason to have to sing like that...just....sing. it sounds better. That's the main reason I dislike country music.
There is no reason a foreigner like Keith Urban should have a southern twang accent. Either way you don't really sing with an accent. It's usually very difficult to know if a non-country artist is American or British or what have you just based on their singing voice. [Reply]

Billy Joe Armstrong would like a few words with you, but I get your point.
Also, John Fogerty grew up in Northern California, but sounds like he is from Slidell, LA. [Reply]

George Strait, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith...
Also love to listen to Patty Loveless....who can still bring it. Her duet with Vince Gill on "Go Rest High on that Mountain" at George Jones funeral is the best it gets. [Reply]
