Are any of you Country music fans? Whos your fav? What kinda country do you like?

Im partial to the old Honky Tonk Country. Such as Hank, Hank Jr. Hank 3, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, David Allan Coe, and Johnny Cash.

I also like some of the more popular singers such as Dwight Yoakam, Chris Ledoux, and George Strait.

I like classic country. I don't really like country after the 60's. The 30's-the early 60's is what I like.

Mary Robbins, Johnny Horton, Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry, Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams Sr, Tennessee Ernie, Tex Ritter., just to name a few.

I don't listen to typical country music, but I do listen to some country-esque indie musicians. Lately I've been listening to this guy named Langhorne Slim who plays the banjo. He is AMAZING. Okkervil River has a lot songs where the mandolin, steel pedal, and harmonica are very prominent. They could be considered an alt-country band to some extent. There are also a few other bands that are alt-country-ish that I listen to like Shearwater, Timesbold and Phosphorescent.

Wow i was surprised I wasn't the only one who likes REAL country....not the new top 40 crap.

I'm a fan of anything that plays on Nashville's WSM 650 (home of the Grand Ole Opry), which comes in clear at night and on a good day in my car. Strangely enough, my favorite songs come from the Urban Cowboy era of the early 1980s, which does not seem to be the most popular time.

When WSM doesn't come in, WBZI 1500 out of Xenia specializes in classic country plus local artists. On that station Darrell McCall is practically a deity! Has anyone else heard of him? In case you're wondering, he is of no relation to C. W. McCall of "Convoy" fame. New Jasper (rural Greene County east-southeast of Xenia) has signs designating it as his birthplace from what I understand!

I just bought the new Reba CD this morning at walmarts on my way back home from my boyfriends house... I listend to it on the way here it was pretty good... So reba is my favorite hehee

[Ambear]

I do. I like mainly the current stuff like Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley and Gretchen Wilson. I like some of the older stuff too like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.

I like Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain, and Carrie Underwood. More country-pop than pure country.
