If the Cowboy Junkies and/or some bluegrass count as country music those are the only examples of country music that I like. My Mom used to play Willie Nelson every so often especially around Christmas and I don't mind that. Other than those examples country isn't my cup of tea. There is something about the twang that just gets to me. From the Oak Ridge Boys, to Toby Keith I just isn't for me.
The only time I really took notice of Country Music was years ago when Carrie Underwood was wearing a mini-skirt on TV and added a cute little blonde lead guitarist that could play.
