Country ain't talked sbout enough here. Is there a country song about that? Anyway, who are your favorite country artists and what are your favorite songs and alnums?
My favorite country artist is Johnny Cash. His voice is perfect for the genre. My favorite tracks by him are Ring of Fire and When the Man Comes Around. I also like Merle Haggard and Trace Adkins.
I don't know much modern country, but classic country is great. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Jimmie Rodgers, Merle Haggard, the Louvin Brothers, and Lefty Frizzell are all excellent. I'm also big on bluegrass. This is probably my favorite country album at the moment:
I don't entirely know where country begins and ends, but I'm a fan of Laura Cantrell, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Townes van Zandt, Dolly Parton, Sarah Jarosz, Dave Grisman, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Old and in the Way, Sid Griffin and The Coal Porters, The Felice Brothers, Dylan's more country-tinged stuff (Nashville Skyline and John Wesley Harding are possibly my two favourite Dylan albums), Alison Krauss & Union Station, The Stanley Brothers, country blues artists like Scrapper Blackwell, Chet Atkins, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, Lucinda Williams, The Be-Good Tanyas, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, and more recently people like Kacey Musgraves and Daniel Romano. There's loads of great country out there, but it does seem to be a genre unfairly maligned for and defined by its largely intolerable mainstream artists.

Wow, how did I forget some of these? Kacey Musgraves put out one of the best albums of 2013, if not the best.
Country was a really great and respected genre until a bunch of clowns in cowboy hats ruined it for everyone by making popular country music nothing but shitty pop music with southern accents, and the occasional fiddle or pedal steel _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

This.
And I do like Country, but I prefer folk by a landslide.
