"Selling out?" Huh, never crossed my mind.

I'm a Yankee who lived in Texas for a long time and I would have expected more resistance from the country fans to "allow" an "outsider" (note my impressive use of "quotation marks." oops. Got carried away.) Sorry, I'm floating on cold medicine. Let me start over. 

I can only speak about the behavior of Texans, but let me tell ya, they're slow to let new people into their club. I was once introduced to a native Texan's family like this: "She's from New York. But she's OK." So I would have expected more criticism on the country fans' side. Something like, "what does Grace Potter know about country music?"

Looks like we're the snobs. What is it about country music, specifically, that causes the sell-out reaction? If Grace did sing a Reggae song (as she mentioned in that video) we'd all be OK with that, right?

I'm hesitant to submit this comment cause I don't want to offend anyone in Texas. Some of my best friends are Texans. ha. I also don't want to offend anyone with a more intelligent comment. Or anyone with a cold.
