Thanks very much for your time

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy).  I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions.  The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.

Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline.  Please reply by May 20^th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.

            The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch

1)     Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?

2)     Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?

"If I were to trace the genealogy of the country music Outlaw, it would start with Bobby Bare, roll through Willie & Waylon and that whole gang, follow Cash through the late 90′s, and end up in the country music underground with people like Peewee Moore as possibly the perfect example of the Outlaw lineage in the present day"

I really need to spend more time on this site to get things figured out. Maybe after the holidays?! Hey, I thought of you when I was looking over some of the art I created this year. I'm very passionate about Shreveport and the contribution it has made to the world of music. We are the place that birthed the career of Elvis. But it was this piece I did about Utah Smith that made me think of you http://kathrynusherart.blogspot.com/2010/10/utah-smith-i-got-two-wings.html in my post there's a link to video of Utah performing.
