    I have to say I think country music is one of the few genres that I don't like, I don't know why. Give me reggae and funk soul anyday!

    I actually cannot get into country, it is one of the only genres that I cannot take. I do however like one country song, the theme for True Blood, Jase Everett's Bad Things. That song is extraordinarily sexy to me for some reason.

    I love older country (mostly before the 80's) and folk music.

    Eagles country stuff
    Dolly Parton
    Loretta Lynn
    Johnny Cash
    John Stewart (not to be confused with Jon Stewart, "California Bloodlines") & the Kingston Trio
    Neil Young

    "A boy named Sue", "The devil went down to Georgia" and "MTA"


    Among more recent groups, probably Reba would be my favorite.

      Kingston Trio???
      They are great. I have a vinyl album of them, but the needle on my turntable has crapped out.
      Wow. Kingston Trio. Great group. (Weren't there three of them? )

      I can't say that I like ALL country music.

      On one hand, I intensely dislike the twangy, nasal kind that's always on the same old same old breaking up and making up themes. [she rolls her eyes]

      On the other, I do like some American country music like the Eagles' music, and some Canadian country music such as the music of Blue Rodeo. Example: Bulletproof www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3RVrQlmLRI

      The problem with country is that there is really good country, really bad country, and nothing in between. Unfortunately, country music stations never got that memo.

    i like the guitar players an some of the session players

    I particularly like bluegrass

    Did you know that there are more suicides by people who listen to country music than any other style, it could be because with some other styles people are too stoned to think about it.

    The core of country music is Celtic music. There was a wonderful doco called Irish Music in America (or something similar), Pete Seeger did some great comparisons between blues and Irish music in relation to folk/ country.

    Tim O'Brien has the best voice, Jerry Douglas best Resonator Slide and Tony Rice Beest Guitar.

    I like some country. I like classic country like Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton (Jolene!).

    As far as current country, I love Allison Krauss. She is amazing.

        Many women have thin vocal chords and that makes them sopranos. My mom is a first soprano. I'm a mezzo soprano. I can sing the first soprano range but it's not my preference. I'd rather sing the lower and richer parts in the alto range and I can also sing the higher notes in the contralto range too.

        I love to mimic the deep rich tone of Pasty Cline's voice. In fact I'm doing that now as I type. My parents had these records and I remember them from when I was just a little tot. I just discovered them on youtube a month ago or so.

    Yes: but that doesn't mean much. I 'like' any music that's well done. I'm more familiar with Johnny Cash and his generation that the more contemporary singers like Big & Rich - but the new set is quite okay, too.

      Find Tex Ritter, "Blood on the Saddle," or "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle."

      THAT'S OLD COUNTRY!

    I rate Country music as highly as Gangster rap and by that I mean it is totally boring and worthless. It does nothing but send me to sleep and makes me want to smash up my radio when it comes on the airwaves.
