I'm not really into country, but my first album was Urban Chipmunk, by the chipmunk. It came out around the time of Urban Cowboy.

 

[2035]

I mean by Alvin and the Chipminks

I love Alison Krauss, but this duet by country artist Kenny Chesney and one of my favorite singers, Grace Potter, is fantastic and a new favorite.
Kenny Chesney - You And Tequila ft. Grace Potter - YouTube

HaHa, you will love this video--she's gorgeous!

Aww, come on. I'm fairly confident you can find some country song you just might like. They got some nice girl groups too

Nope, not a chance.

 

[Sarah in SC]

I bet you didn't even LOOK at that video I posted, 73!
C'mon, there has to be some music since the 60s that you will like!

 

[Gumby]

I like this

Johnny Cash - Man in Black - YouTube

You are correct on both accounts.

 

[W2R]

Nope, not a chance.

Country music isn't my favorite either, but sometimes it suits the mood...

Try this one. It's not all THAT country. To me it seems like the roots of Rock n Roll come from blues and country and the whole American music evolution.

"I Told You So" Carrie with Randy Travis from American Idol - YouTube

Now here's what I thought of as country music when I was a young girl. I despised this music - - they seemed like such hicks to me! But now that I am older and have heard much worse music, they seem like a treasure in American musical history.

Thanks W2R, but I can't I just can't listen to it.

Ahhhhh....that's alright darlin'.....

 

[W2R]

Thanks W2R, but I can't I just can't listen to it.

Aw, gee! How far is that from something like Connie Francis in this top forties tune:

Who's Sorry Now? by Connie Francis (Lyrics) - YouTube

I understand and sympathize if you really don't like it. But I'd just hate for someone who loves music as much as you obviously do, to miss out on a whole genre possibly because of some preconceptions.

 

[73ss454]

I actually know that song, I can remember my Mom listening to it on the radio.

Oh, OK... I give up.

 

[Major Tom]

I'm not about to try and persuade anyone who claims not to like country to change their mind but IMO, really great music transcends it's genre.

The artists and songs I really like, I really like because they move me - regardless of whether they are country, rock, jazz or other genre.

One of my fav's:
Judy Collins - Someday Soon - YouTube
An Ian Tyson song. This version always makes me tear up. The minors tug at me.

This one, too. I heard it over the Atlantic returning from my first long term job in Europe and it told me I was coming home.
Gary P Nunn w/ Jerry Jeff Walker - London Homesick Blues - YouTube

Later, I went north for a bit:
Paul Brandt - Alberta Bound (Official Video + Lyrics) - YouTube

Now, I cain't leave dis thread wit'out an in-your-face redneck C&W song:
Screw you, We're from Texas - YouTube
You think C&W is bad? You don't know how bad.
