The use of auto-tune automatically and by default means it's not a country song. This is not my opinion, it is an immutable fact of the universe. I don't care if it's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," if auto-tune is used, it's no longer country.
I don't care if you agree or disagree with me--either way it's irrelevant, because this is just one of those things that IS.
Agreed.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sad it has to be pointed out. And of course now you've got me thinking about how Auto Tune would screw up just about all the greats. (C'mon, Ernest Tubb auto-tuned. Scary, no?)
ReplyDeleteWhat if the country is Sweden? ;)
