"Country music was originally built around the lives of hard-working country folk who believed in family, honesty and a simple rural life. That concept was embraced by the music industry and sold as a product. It's my belief that over the years, we, the public, have been robbed of our local music heritage and independence. In part, by being told that if you're not from a certain geographic location or sing with a certain accent, you're not country. I also believe that the woodcutters of the Maine woods, the farmers who grow blueberries to potatoes, the fishermen of the rock-bound coast, the truck-driving diesel cowboys who truck Maine products all over the country and all those other independent Maine folk, beg to differ. Whether you're from country or town, North or South, mountains or seashore, country is a state of mind and a value system rather than a specific location.
Country and Eastern is a collection of tunes, from the heart, that I hope you find entertaining and that will give you a sense of Maine pride. Next time someone asks what kind of music you like, hopefully you'll say, "I listen to Jimmy Barnes and "Country and Eastern"."
