There's all kinds of music in the match-up show. Obviously there's country since country made something of a comeback in the decade but this month alone we're had a Heart Rocker, a Don Henley ballad, a few Irish folkies, Scottish rock, modern rock from Concrete Blonde, Pearl Jam, Morissey, Cure, a whole bunch of familiar names like Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, Richard Thompson, Mike Oldfield and Patti Smith and some talented folks you may not know like Noa, Merril Bainbridge and a bunch of oddballs. And country including Dolly :)
