I grew up listening to Country Music. My parents liked it, so it was what we listened to. I listened to the likes of Jimmy Rodgers, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, so many of the “oldies.” Rock ‘n’ Roll came along and I dropped Country pretty quickly. I didn’t come back to it until years later, because my ex liked it so it was what we listened to. I listened to the likes of Garth Brooks, Ricky Scaggs, George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, and Dwight Yoakam.
I say all of this to say that I am familiar with Country. I know Country. That said, I don’t listen to Country any more. I don’t particularly like it. It could be that I spent so many years “having to” listen to it that I don’t want to anymore and now that I don’t “have to” I’m not going to.
So, I’m not going to… unless it’s Keith Urban… or Taylor Swift… or Rascal Flatts, maybe… or the Band Perry.
