Rock Band is going COUNTRY?

Everyone knows the game Rock band has always been the Rock and Roll style songs that you could strum along too and "Rock out loud," but when Rock Band producers come out with a new version many people might be shocked. The plans to make a country music Rock Band might have some people confused. The game producers include the Dixie Chicks, Brooks and Dunn, and Brad Paisley, popular country musicians, for fans to play along! MTV senior vice president of games and music, Paul DeGooyer, says that the songs that the Rock Band producers will give it a twist and "might twang a little bit." David Card a music-industry analyst with Forrester Research, says he thinks it was a good move to add country into the “Rock Band” mix. It's something different! Personally I like the idea to switch it up a bit. It's interesting that they picked country, but I like the decision. You can't expect them to just keep running the same old songs that sound like each other over and over again! The country edition of Rock Band which is called "Going Country" will be available on the Xbox 360 on Dec. 16 and for the PlayStation 3 starting Dec. 18. I will be on the look out for the reviews on this one!
