| I love country music - country and bluegrass is about all I listen to (with a little John Denver mixed in). Bluegrass - my favorite current band is Mountain Heart ... like Rhonda Vincent as well. Country - love the classics like Waylon/Willie/the boys, etc. But, I'm also a big fan of Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisely...the new country movement doesn't bother me at all. Of course, I also don't hate the Dixie Chicks...which makes me different than a lot of other country fans. I don't blame the Dixie Chicks for leaving country music...but I hate that they had to...I liked their country stuff |

Going to see George Strait and Ronnie Milsap tonight, really looking forward to it, but i really don't care for much music that has been put out in the past 10-12 years or so...So i generally listen to country from that time all the way back to the 30's, i like it all, and for newer music it's the Texas Country like Cooder Graw and Cory Morrow.

Great show. |

| I like Brad Paisley but there are very few others today I like. I do however love Hank Sr and Jr, George Strait, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Charlie Daniels.
Rascal Flatts sucks a$$ in my opinion. |

| I like the new "Americana" genre -- more singer/songwriter country sound, less "Nashville." I do like Nickel Creek and Alison Krausse -- a little more bluegrass-oriented, I guess. Mainstream Country is just kind of at a standstill, IMO. Most of the stuff out now could have been released 10 years ago and would still fit right in. I just really like to hear people expanding the horizon, I guess.
Oh, and Faith over Carrie, ANYDAY. . . .ANYTIME.

The best live shows i've ever seen were Chris Ledoux (several times) and Willie Nelson (ditto)...but this one was up there

| I don't know if I've seen Alan Jackson's name yet.
Hank Williams Sr.
Dwight Yokam
Wiskeytown
Sawyer Brown
Nashville Skyline
Dumas Walker always makes me smile. And I oddly like that song "Some Beach." But it's a damn Mustang in the video, and that bothers me. |
