Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. First we need to figure out the setting of the murder. Which city is home to country music?

Answer: Nashville

Now that you are in Nashville, Tennessee, let's get on with solving the crime.
2. Now you will need some help in solving this murder, and who better then the two people who recorded the song 'Murder on Music Row'. Which two artists recorded this song?

Answer: George Strait and Alan Jackson

Ok, now you have your help. Let's get down to the suspects. If you have not heard this song, may I suggest that you get George Strait's newest greatest hits package and listen to it. 'Murder On Music Row' is a wonderful song and took a lot of nerve to record since it really puts down the people that are running Country Music these days.
3. Suspect 1: Who sang the song 'Tonight The Heartache's On Me'?

Answer: The Dixie Chicks

After questioning the Dixie Chicks, we decided they were no longer a suspect in this crime, but they did become very nervous when we brought up the disappearance of 'Earl', but that is a different crime and we aren't on that case. The group is now called The Chicks.
4. Suspect 2: Which artist performed a concert in New York's Central Park?

Answer: Garth Brooks

Garth may have a big ego, but he's no killer. Therefore, he is off our suspect list.
5. Suspect 3: Which artist recorded the song 'Breathe', which crossed over to the pop music chart?

Answer: Faith Hill

Even though Faith Hill has had some crossover success, she still has some roots in country and is not a suspect in the crime. She may however, be considered an accessory.
6. Suspect 4: Which artist had their first country hit with 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under'?

Answer: Shania Twain

Yes, Shania is a suspect, does she really have talent or it is all production? As evidence of her talent being all production, I enter into evidence her first album, before Robert John Mutt Lange started producing her, this album is flat and shows she isn't as talented as her album sales have shown.
7. Suspect 5: Who produced Shania Twain's albums up to 2007?

Answer: Robert John Mutt Lange

He remains a suspect because, he brought a 'rock' background into country music. Now that Shania is selling millions of records, everyone is trying to copy her style to sell records.
8. Suspect 6: Why did country music radio not give a lot of air time to Vince Gill's song 'Kindly Keep it Country'?

Answer: Too Country

Looks like we have a Prime Suspect! How can any song being played on Country Radio be considered 'Too Country'?
9. Suspect 7: In the USA, what is the country equivalent to 'MTV'?

Answer: 'CMT'

Videos have changed the music scene more than anything else. Now instead of going by how good the song is, they go by how good you will look in a music video!
10. So now that all the suspects have been questioned, which of the following will be charged with the crime?

Answer: All of these

Yes, all three of these suspects have something to do with the downfall of traditional country music. Remember this quiz is all in fun and I hope that no one takes it too personal if you don't agree with me, this quiz or the suspects.
