Default Country music, no way, yes way.

No doubt about it, I'm turning country! 10 years ago I'd have said NO WAY IN HECK. Must be the same condition that has me listing to the Grateful Dead and Johnny Cash, both of which I completely ignored in my youth.

Sometimes I'm amazed how there can be so much sweet music in the world!

Just discovered and ordered on Amazon.. ( I know, how could anyone not have heard of this classic recording. I'd be one. )

I listen to a very wide range of music, but I can't do country or classical. I just don't feel it.

No country or rap here...

Closest thing I get to country are The Eagles.

Now, I will say that I have been dragged to some Country concerts before - those are certainly worth going to, but not for the music.

I too have a wide ranging taste in music, and I have to say Classical, Opera, and Country (old) are high on my list!

I am firmly in the "NO WAY IN HECK" camp.

Peter Brandon is the only country singer that I like. He writes all of his own music and he puts on a great show. He's a family friend and we're going to see him perform in July at "The Muck" in Fullerton Ca.

He has some albums on MOG if anyone would like to have a listen.

Emmylou Harris

Steve Earle

Roseanne Cash

Kathy Mattea

Mary-Chapin Carpenter

Nancy Griffith

The Delevantes

All considered country and light years beyond whatever passes for "new country" on most radio stations these days. Check them out. They're the real deal.

Well, since this condition has you listening to The Man In Black, and the Grateful Dead, carry on.
