That was my only idea, because on pandora there are artists or even specific albums which are restricted to "radio only" mode. Meaning you can't individually play the track on demand, but it will run on a station.
But more importantly they are punishing Lee. He gets paid based on the amount of plays. I'd be very mad they are putting a soundalike cover of my song first and omitting the real deal. Especially because it definitely isn't organic.
Lol, I mean generally artists should be very upset by this practice.
It's an awful precedent. Say Google getting into publishing music. They could get the licenses from record companies of all popular songs and promote them over the real deal
Maybe he opted not to participate?
I thought that too, but it's on the service.
You just have search by artists and go to the page for Lee Greenwood to find it, which sucks if you don't know who sings it.
Like I bet a lot of people hear it from the rally, and look for it, and I guess they are very passive aggressively trying to hurt these people?

A lot of copyrighted stuff isn't in Google music.
It's on there. You can only find it by searching the artists name, which is bullshit because a lot of people don't know that.

uhh..Mr. Greenwood?

Can anyone else try this? Very strange the cover soundalike version comes up in results but not the actual version of the song.
I wonder if Lee could sue.
Can't listen at the moment, but it does show up in search results with the 'E' for explicit tag, so I'm guessing they didn't edit out the slur.
And if you just search "proud to be an American' it yields only native American songs, lol. Unbelievable.
