Who the hell is Finger Eleven and why are they invading country?

Large_Finger_Eleven

"Country music as everybody knows it is just pop music with a cowboy hat and shiny shirts. This goes back to the older stuff. This goes back to a different time."

That's a quote from one of the guys from Eleven Finger.  If that's how people really think of country is it any wonder every Tom, Dick, and really hairy man think's country is a viable option to career death? 

Sigh. 

More info on Finger Eleven going alt-country here.

They sound more interested in good country music than some of the members of the Opry.

In some ways, they are absolutely right, unfortunately.
I'll listen to their country stuff. Sounds like they came by it honest (they are not facing career death in rock music, BTW). They should go on tour with Ben Kweller!
