Country Music fans???

[sirrahbed]

Any country music fans out there?? I "met" CountryWolf07 in another thread and was SO hard not to hijack it I may be getting older but not dead I was born in Texas and raised on anything country and still just LOVE it. My daydreams take me back to sawdust covered floors and cute cowboys in tight jeans with Skoal circles in their back pockets and pickup trucks and rodeos and ahh!!!!! Well, I am 49 and have three grown kids but *nothing* soothes and energizes me like my country music. I have one skinkid - my oldest who loves it as well. Daughter Missy gags and really wants to barf when hubby and I dance in the kitchen!! (the kitties ALL love my music!! )
My favorites right now are Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts....some of the newer artists are growing on me - Julie Roberts for one, Chely Wright. Nobody wll replace Willie Nelson or George Strait!!! I LOVE country videos. Absolute favorites are "Remember When" ahhh!!! and "One Hot Mama" for laughs because I think this is really how hubby thinks!!

Do the Dixie Chicks count? That is about all the country music i can handle.

I do love the movie Sweet Home Alabama though.

[Aspen and Misty]

TOBY KEITH!!!

I LOVE HIM!!! I want to go to his Concert SOOO bad!!

I'm a country Freak The dials on my radio have 2 modern day music and the rest are country! LOL

My fav Song will Always be "One More Day" By Diamond Rio, it always reminds me of My RB babies.

Hardcore country music fan here. I listen to other music too besides country.

Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney- the two hottest singers on the planet, thank you very much.

I like some country music.

I like all the music of Faith Hill, and I like Sheryle Crow "The first cut is the deepest" and I like that new song called "somebody" by Reba McEntire, pretty good stuff.

Sheryl Crow seems to be crossing over into country and I hope she keeps it up. The duet she did with Kid Rock - "Picture" was fabulous. Kid Rock is such wasted talent I think. I saw Crow and Willie Nelson do a few duets and they were amazing!! Kid Rock and Bocephus are doing some country as well but no recordings that I know of - he (Kid) is MUCH better at country than his trash IMO - he actually has a rich and gritty voice!!

Ditto!!

Hmm not a really big fan. I do have a weak spot for Tim McGraw's, Don't Take the Girl. Gr - even typing the words chokes me up, lol. And I think the Dixie Chick lead singer has the voice of an absolute angel. Beautiful. I like Shania Twain . And Picture is one of my favorite songs....But that's about it

[catlover4ever]

I never liked country when I was growing up...I hated it...could not stand it.....NOW I LOVE IT!!!!

My office is in an old cinder block building and we do not get many radio stations so country was the only one that would come in really well...and I fell in love with the music.

Some of my favorite male artists are Tim McGraw I saw him 2 times....I had floor seats for his second show and let me tell you.....he is hot!!!!! Faith Hill is one lucky woman

Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Montgomery Gentry

I like the Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Shania Twain (saw her in concert as well...I had to bring a drool bucket for hubby) and Reba.

I love the new song out by Gretchen Wilson....Redneck Women!!!! Hubby just rolls his eyes when I sing it to him.

We have more country artists coming and playing around my area now that the Mohegan Sun Casino has the Arena, a 10,000 seat venue and the artists seem to love it. Martina has been 3 times, Tim McGraw 3 times. Reba is coming and so is Alan Jackson with Martina. Toby Keith came and said he wanted to come back during the summer but he decided to play at Gillett Stadium in Mass (where the NE Patriots play football) and that for me is just toooooo far to go.

Aha! admit it! You ARE a fan! "Don't Take the Girl" chokes me up too, lots of country is so moving and down to earth - tearful at times. Shania Twain's "Forever and For Always" is so sweet - that and Alan Jackson's "Remember When" are so appropriate to hubby and I. Another song that gets me choked is "When Tough Little Boys" - Gary Allan I thnk? - because my oldest - 26 year old, is about to have his firstborn

[Kfamr]

There's only two country songs that I can deal with or stand.
Tim Mcgraw - Don't take the girl
and
Garth Brooks - Thunder Rolls


Anything other that is headaching.
I was tortured by the radio stations in Tennesee-Kentucky (in my trip to Ohio) by them not playing ANYTHING other than country. It was horrible and I had a horrible headache.

I like Country Music, and my 13 year old daughter, LOVES it! We have a neat, new radio station here, that specializes in "positive Country music" and Christian music. They go back and forth, constantly, between the two. Helen likes to listen to that station (makes her mom happy too).

A couple of years ago, we went to the "Girls Night Out" concert, and got to see Reba, Martina McBride, Jamie O'Neal, Sarah Evans and one other girl (can't remember her name right now). I had seen Martina in a private concert a couple of years before at the Grand Ole Opry when I was attending a convention there. We like Alan Jackson, Toby Keith (Helen saw him in concert with her dad), Kenny Chesney, and many more!

The only kind of music I can't stand is Rap and Hard Rock. But otherwise, I'm pretty diverse!

That sounds great!! One good thing about country is that most of it does tend to be wholesome but I see that changing now. (Dwight Yoakum for example) Bocephus, though I like him is raunchy. I guess I should not admit I love "One Hot Mama" but love that it shows how my hubby sees me I also don't like the honky tonk stuff much. Prefer the ballads and feel good music - female vocals and soft country soothers. Seems many country artists are Christian and patriotic (yeah well...) which I also admire. OH! I totally forgot AKUS!!! Anyone like them??? I don't think ANY female vocalist can top Allison Krause!!!
