Well, this is an interesting curio – a complaint about the lack
of country music on the jukebox from one of the genre’s most prolific
songwriters. It gets richer: He’s backed by the man who left a
successful country music act to play banjo-inflected rock with his sons.
Greatly informed by a very country version of “Old Joe Clark”, this is “There Ain’t No Country Music” by Tom T. Hall and Earl Scruggs. In the last chorus, Tom T name-checks Flatt and Scruggs while he’s listing all the country music he can’t find, hearkening back to a time when bluegrass was all the country music there was.
