The Eagles, Elvis Presley, Linda Ronstadt and John Denver all had numerous country hits in their day. On the other end of the spectrum, there have also been times when a legitimate pop artist or group would be welcomed on country radio with open arms. Other artist over the years that were labeled “not country enough” include Shania Twain, LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Rabbitt, Faith Hill, Glenn Campbell, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift. If you can remember back when artists like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and even Eddy Arnold were first introduced, many purists complained that these artists were too “pop.” I have been a country music DJ for more than 30 years, and I don’t think I have ever gone through a period in the format history when there wasn’t a slew of new country artists that are labeled as “not country.” When a song gets a lot of “break-its,” most of the comments are that the song is "not country enough.” More often than not, listeners usually like the new song, and “make it.” We then share the feedback with the artists and their management.
