...then, the answer doesn't come easily, and those he mentions -- like George Strait and Reba McEntire -- are straight, no-chaser country types. Growing up in Marshville, N.C. (pop. 2,011, right on the South Carolina border below Charlotte), Travis, with five brothers and sisters, got an earful of teen tunes, from Kiss to Clapton, Led Zep to ZZ Top.

The shrewdly calculated saga of a girl's coming of age in 1963, the film Dirty Dancing is responsible more than anything else for this new slew of what might be called pube rock. The movie was so perfect a young teen dream, it became almost poignant. You had to see it to believe it, and many did. Dirty Dancing pulled in $65 million at the box office and is still going strong at the video stores...
