Your comment is on target :

” Fact is, acts like The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt and Fleetwood Mac influenced the hell out of modern country music”

Alas , I know. The Eagles and their ilk are the very embodiment of “faux country”. Country music won’t get into high gear again until John Anderson , Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakum are more influential than the Eagles, Marshall Tucker and Crosby Stills & Young

By the way Fleetwood Mac was quite popular when I lived in England, but they were a Blues Rock band led by Peter Green, not the insipid pop balladeers they later became.
