The term "country music" is pretty wide as it encompasses many sub-genres of southern music such as "Zydeco", "Rockabilly", "Cajun", "Bluegrass", "Folk" etc. However, what we refer to "country music" these days, is usually reserved for the more comercial, polished ala "Nashville" type. The thing with contemporary country music is that it tends to have a bit of "Pop music" influence for example, Faith Hill, Shania Twain among others. Personally, I quite like country music for their honest, down to earth, story-telling style and sometimes ironic lyrics. Just give a listen to Trisha Yearwoods' "Walkaway Joe". [img]smile.gif[/img]
