So those albums will now go to the top of that list! <br /><br />I had no idea that there were 'divisions' of country music. I guess it's not that different from 'rock' as we know it. Similar to what you were talking about with my Classic Rock list, some of that is more contemporary rock, some electronic etc. Truck Driving Country is pretty funny though. I'll have to specifically give that a whirl. <br /><br />Thanks again for the feedback and suggestions! I really appreciate them!The B Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949226362130714268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798374127914540817.post-5897365845464895472010-03-12T13:47:05.788-06:002010-03-12T13:47:05.788-06:00Did you know there are also these sub-genres of co...Did you know there are also these sub-genres of country:<br />alt-country (Old 97's)<br />honky-tonk (Hank Williams)<br />truck-diving country (? this one's new to me)<br />neocountry (The Charlie Daniels Band - Devil Went Down to Georgia)<br />and outlaw country (Willie Nelson)<br />country soul (Ray Charles)<br /><br />Thanks Wikipedia!JenInMKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000121809056986273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798374127914540817.post-48646706231632787792010-03-12T13:46:35.473-06:002010-03-12T13:46:35.473-06:00Thanks!

I do not consider myself a music enthusiast, I just like what I like... and I get bored at work sometimes - so music and your blog help!<br /><br />Some Country Suggestions:<br />NEW Country: Zac Brown Band - New Foundation<br />POP(?) Country: Lady Antebellum - Need You Now<br />CHEESY Country: Kenny Chesney - The Road and the Radio<br />OLD Country: George Strait - any album Really (Troubadour or any Alan Jackson works too)<br /><br />or if you are really brave: <br />POP Country Taylor Swift - Fearless (I don't think you would like this favorite of mine so I prefer not reading a bashing of it!! :P )<br /><br />I couldn't think of a ROCK Country album right now... Usually artists like Toby Keith or Tim McGraw have at least one good rock/country song on them, but not a whole album's worth. I guess the Eagles can be considered Rock/Country when you think of Desperado and Hotel California. Expect to find at least a couple REALLY corny songs on every album!JenInMKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000121809056986273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798374127914540817.post-60426405523627826002010-03-12T12:37:37.907-06:002010-03-12T12:37:37.907-06:00Hey Jen!

I've only heard a little Garth Brooks and I don't think any of the other names you mentioned. I'd love to give them a whirl though. <br /><br />Like I said, I do like Cash, but maybe that's not indicative of any other country singer out there today. Maybe his style was truly unique. <br /><br />I want to give different music effort, as I know some people read this blog to learn about new stuff. I'm in the same boat, I need a place to learn about new stuff/old stuff that I've never encountered before. Even if some country just gets my toes tapping, I'll turn it on from time to time. <br /><br />PS...your middle paragraph is a great review! Maybe you should write some stuff for The B Side! =)The B Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949226362130714268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798374127914540817.post-54967778983876397542010-03-12T11:47:41.060-06:002010-03-12T11:47:41.060-06:00YAY! Country! I only have a couple things to say b...YAY! Country! I only have a couple things to say because I...<br /><br />A. Own Carrie Underwood's first CD and...<br />B. I turn off the radio when I hear "Temporary Home"<br /><br />I like country because it's easy listening and fun to dance/sing too. I hated 'Tick's' by Brad Paisley when it first came out (a song about little bugs?!?!? how cheesy is that?) then I learned to love it! It IS cheesy. It is fun... songs like that are meant to taken lightly and the people who like them have a quirky sense of humor. It makes me smile. Plain and simple.<br /><br />I used to like Carrie Underwood... now I just think she's too whiny. (Can I say that?) I hate those songs that use the same phrase for different kinds of stories (i.e. "I'll Walk" by Bucky Covington and "Temporary Home") but play me some Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Montgomery Gentry, Garth Brooks or Sugarland and I'd be a lot happier!<br /><br />Country is one of the genres that you either love or hate. And the people who hate it... rarely learn to love it... "It's Just That Way" :)JenInMKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000121809056986273noreply@blogger.com
