Cross Canadian Ragweed "Happiness & All the Other Things"

I am glad these guys are doing well. I really liked their first record from a few years ago while at Music 4 Less. It's funny, but I'm aware that they are from Oklahoma, or somewhere near there, but I always seem to hear influences of Canadian bands, based on the power of suggestion, I guess. For instance, I hear Canadian Hall of Famers' Tragically Hip. I also think of Blue Rodeo (I have their new record coming up later). A car commercial a couple of years ago featured a track by CCR which was credited as the ad played, ala MTV/VH1 when they used to play music videos. I suppose CCR is considered country, since "Happiness..." hit #10 on Billboard's Country Chart. Maybe "country" like the early Eagles were "country."

How about they're "country" like Lynyrd Skynyrd...
