Do you actually like country music?

    70s outlaw country and alt country are pretty good.

    Peak of country is the Highwaymen. Waylon, Kris, Willie and Cash of course.

    She was so young and porter had her. She did not shine until after she claw her way out. I not saying I did not love song her and porter did. But porter was kinda rip her off. She was one my favorite later on. She had Tammy and Loretta to teach her.

    I’ve gone through a couple phases of being into it… in the 70s it was Dolly and Flat and Scruggs. And then a pause as my husband turned me on to Super Session and Lou Reed and Nicky Hopkins…and went through a Garth Brooks and Reba run… and now I listen to NPR all the time. There’s a Philly station that plays world beat and I love it

    Depends on what you mean by that term. I generally do not like the contemporary “country” stuff that seems awfully like rock in cowboy hats….

    No, but it's not the music's fault. After leaving my bio-dad, my mom married a guy from the hills of Georgia, and that's all he listened to. Unfortunately, he had complete control of the stereo, back when it was housed in a giant console that doubled as furniture. Every time I hear country, I think of him. To say we didn't get along is a massive understatement.

Western Swing, 50's Rock&Roll, Rockabilly, Blues and even Jazz are all related to each other, and these crossovers make for some beautiful music.
