Well, yeah, just a little. There are some country songs/artistes I do like, though a lot of it leaves me cold. Nevertheless, it can't be denied that country music has made some huge contributions towards the industry and that some country songs have gone down, rightly, as all-time classics. In this section I'll be picking not necessarily the best or most well-known songs, but the ones I like, that I know, and that I rate. It'll most likely be a mixed bag, with classics, “nu-country”, some country-rock and maybe some upcoming artistes, who knows?

Anyway, let's git while the gittin's good: here's the first selection.

One of my favourites from the venerable Willie Nelson, this is “The City of New Orleans”.


I'm rather partial to Dwight Yoakam's brand of country/rock, so here's “Long white Cadillac” from him.


We'd have to feature the Man in Black, of course...


And I've always liked Emmylou Harris. This is “I'm movin' on”.


And to wind things up, this is a nice little ballad from Randy Travis, called “Promises”.
