I used to hate country and western music. |
| 1/30/2008 2:08:49 AM |
| I moved to western Canada about 26 years ago. I found the lifestyle quite different from the way I was raised in eastern Canada. There were many things I had to become accustomed to and country and western music was one of them. I found it whiney for lack of a better word. Western music at that time was all about losing the wife and the house and pretty much everything... Read More |

Country music. |
| 1/22/2008 8:30:45 AM |
| Ray Charles once was asked what he liked about country music. "The stories," he said. They all got good stories." That is just one of the reasons I like western music Ray Charles, one of my favorite blues singers even recorded some country music songs. Those songs are still very much loved now.

Listen to Country Music Videos Online |
| 1/10/2008 12:41:08 PM |
 There are so many great country music artists, and some of them have made terrific music videos to go along with their songs. My friend sent me some music videos of country western music artists singing their songs, and the multi-media dimension was so much better than just listening to the song itself.

Western music performer: not the aritist of my choice. |
| 12/5/2007 5:37:38 PM |
| When I was younger, I was always around adults that loved country singing. Country music was all over the place. We lived where there were farmers, ranchers, and mixed farmers (grew grain and raised cattle), so, anything western was big news. If there was a concert in the nearest city, our little community would empty out as people made the trip to see their favorite... Read More |
