"Artists and Repertoire" or A&R, is just fancy for session musicians, as opposed to different bands coming in and recording. Guess the reason so much of the muckety-muck artists in Nashville sound the same is because everyone records with the same session musicians, same engineers. As to the "look" or the "image" of these "sexy" (repulsive to some of us) new country "artists" which have been foisted upon the public, they are computer generated... they don't share a real pixel between then; just small binaries caught up in the big machine. :-)
