I'm gonna stick with @ann post's theory that C&W = Greek poetry and say he's the Sappho, while Gareth Brooks is basically Homer.Richie is the Judge Dread of Irish music
Did anyone explain why they liked it so much?Irish country is huge here. When we first moved I joined the local macra group and It was mainly just set dancing nights.
Ended up doing a 6 week jive course with them and half of the lessons involved line dancing. This was all with people 18-35.

I mean, I get that dancing is fun but why choose this specific type over any other?
I would have thought Garth appealed more to U2, David Gray and REM fans.
I've definitely seen him talk in interviews pretty coherently about the tradition of the dirty nursery rhyme singing funnyman that he comes from, very aware of what he's doing. Like Judge Dread as @therealjohnny mentioned.I've always wondered - does *he* think his songs are good, or is this just, like, a cash cow or something...
A bit of real country, coincidentally in the same pub as the aforementioned gigI played in a Johnny Cash tribute band for a while. We used to do his version of Rusty Cage. Watching a die-hard Country n' Irish couple, desperately trying to jive fast enough to keep up is an abiding memory.
That audience hated us by the way.
