I'm a banalbassbagger (purveyor of sub par sterile pastiche according to some). 

But, I be consistently authentistical.

Basically a countrybagger is a rock or pop artist who decides to make a country song or album as a cheap ploy for cash or attention.
 
 

Isn't putting out a country album more an admission of failure than anything else.....?

Country is the 3rd biggest market for music consumption in the US (just under rock and pop) so it's not surprising that non-country artists have tried to tap into it. 

Also, shania twain is hot, no?  was mark twain her father?

I was all indignant when Johnny Cash did all those covers of modern songs at the end of his career. It just seemed like soooo disrespectful to the man (I mean... JC covering YOUR lame arse emo crud?!).
 
But really, JC's cover of Hurt is just shattering.
 
Oh crap. I just remembered. I played that track for my mom once and she literally started tearing up.

Pretty sure Rick Rubin picked that for him.
