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. The songs also have melody and the artist who sings them can sing.  I love both a male artist and female artist western singer. Their sales go off the charts.  That tells me most of America likes country, too.  Sometimes when I want a short time of just pure pleasure I watch the country music videos on TV.  It truly is pure music.  It seems Western music has written the history of America in its songs.  Stories of the old west in western music are as familiar to us as the rail road.  Speaking of the rail road, how many western songs have been written about the rail road and the men who worked on them.  Yes, western music if filled with history, adventure, romance, and Ameriacana.  No wonder I like most of this country love western music.
