'COUNTRY GAL' is a catchy, original song written by Eliza that roasts the country music industry for becoming more and more like mainstream pop. Her country diva persona, 'Deanne Shirleen', collaborates with country-rapper persona 'Joey Eastcoast' (played and written by Douglas Widick) to destroy country music as we know it.
