You know it’s a huge show when Brad Paisley is your opening act. The country star has been announced as a very special support act for the Rolling Stones when they perform at Nashville on June 17.

Clay Walker keeps close watch on where country music is, was and is headed, and he doesn’t like most of what he’s seeing. While the singer has previously stated he’s encouraged by the future of the format, he doesn’t like watching classic rockers turn to country for their next album of hits or originals.

“I can’t stand to see outdated rock-and-rollers coming in to play country music,” he says. The Doobie Brothers, Motley Crue and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler are among those who’ve created country projects in the last year or two.“We have great singers, great country musicians,” Walker adds. “There’s no reason we have to dilute it by letting people in the format that don’t have any business being in the format.”
