Motley Crue Discover A Lot Of Rock In Country Music
. Sixx said the bandmates "got it" right away, because "a lot of '80s rock fans are now new country music fans, and vice-versa. And the more we started talking to Scott, talking about the artists and how they love the band, it became really organic." Radio.com sat down in Nashville recently with Sixx and lead vocalist Vince Neil. Both spoke enthusiastically about the project, which features new versions of Cr�e classics recorded by such country artists as Florida Georgia Line, Justin Moore, LeAnn Rimes, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker and Gretchen Wilson. Titled Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute to M�tley Cr�e, the album hits stores and digital outlets Aug. 19. Neil and Sixx both admitted they hadn't paid much attention to country before they were presented with the tribute idea. But once they did, they realized that rock and country (especially in its current incarnation) have quite a bit in common. "Seeing some of the bands [such as] Florida Georgia Line�they're a rock 'n' roll band!" said Neil. "Even Rascal Flatts [have] a lot of rock 'n' roll in 'em." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
