Sony Gets Country Fried with Gravy and Collard Greens: SingStar Country Coming October 28

Egads! As if dealing with bad karaoke in a bar was not enough to make you want to vomit your long island ice tea into some other drunk’s lap comes SingStar Country where you can sing the same crap in your very own living room.

Granted, there are a few decent country tunes floating about on the airwaves on a daily basis, but most are exactly what David Allan Coe sang about in “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”. Mama, trains, trucks, prison, and getting drunk – and if you add the new 21st century redneck mindset to it, you hear them sing about horny coon dogs, keying your cheating boyfriend’s truck, honky tonk badonka donks, and saving a horse by riding a cowboy.

Sony apparently thinks that this is what the world wants, and in some repects it unfortunatley does, because on October 28 we will see SingStar County sitting on retail shelves for the PS2. I suppose people who live in trailers adorned with glass eyed deer heads do not own a PS3 – or maybe they are just not with the times – either way you slice your SPAM sandwich, that is the console it is being released for.

Some of the notaries to be included on the game disc include: Gretchen Wilson, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Montgomery Gentry and Kellie Pickler, who said, “I grew up wanting to be a country music singer and would sing other artists’ songs, and now people are going to be singing my song in SingStar Country?”

Sure thing Kellie. To quote the movie “A Fish Called Wanda”,  I have worn dresses with a higher IQ than that ditz, and if you want me to be frank, I would never purchase anything with Troy Lee Genrty or Eddie Montgomery’s face on it because they are both total jerks. Trust me, I had to breathe the same air and hear their name around my hometown long before they became famous and one of them decided to shoot a tame bear who was tied up to a post. Both are horrible people, and even more horrible “musicians”. But I refuse to say anything else or Eddie’s wife will show up on my doorstep and “whip my scrawny ass”.

Suffice it to say (all bitchiness aside) that if you like your SingStar country fried with gravy and all of the fixins, you will finally get your chance. Luckily, it does not look like this title will be heading to Europe any time soon.
