Country but off topic Just got through listening to John Conlee sing on You Tube and heard some really great country songs,and made me stop and think.Does every one ,by now,kwow you can enter your favorite country,or other singers name on You Tube,and hear their music played,If not give it a try. also let us know the name of your favorite singers,and favorite songs.I think we will really enjoy your picks.

Yeah country is great now that snoop dogg and kid rock are in the mix. Another great place for listening to music is Pandora Internet Radio.

There is not a dedicated C&W station in my area. Tuesdays from 1800-2100 a local station has a DJ that does a country show with what you folks are probably calling oldies. I've been here 18 years so have gotten used to it. I've got a 10 cd changer with Alabama, Allen Jackson, ZZ Top, Steppenwolf, Charlie Daniels, Lee Greenwood, Bellamy Brothers, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvill, and a Bluegrass mix that I have set at random in my daily driver. Getting a flatrate internet next month so, look out!!!

The new Kid Rock song that uses the music from "Werewolves of London" mixed with "Sweet home Alabama" Even though I dont consider him country, I like the song, cant remember the title though.

Singin Sweet Home Alabama All Summer Long.................. Song brings back some memories

Hello music fans, local boy from So. Il grew up on farm ventured into music work and works thru Vanderbilt U. Try www. muddysunshine.com Rocky Alvey good bluegrass some history of are area. I like it while bring a smile to your face no matter what your age. Boco from So. Il.

Neon Moon is a great one, also a few of their less played but songs I like very much are South of Sante Fe and Its Getting Better All The Time.

As I mentioned below, Brooks and Dunn. Definitely Johnny Cash. Almost Anything George Strait, though I don't care for a few of his. Living and Living Well for example is way overrated compared to I Can Still Make Cheyenne.

I still like Garth Brooks quite a bit. The ones they don't play on the radio are quite good I think: Mr. Midnight, One Night A Day, When You Come Back To Me Again, I Don't Have To Wonder, In Another's Eyes, Big Money, Allison Miranda, and possibly my favorite of his, Fit for a King. More than a Memory or Mr. Midnight have to be the best written songs of his.

Big & Rich as well. They really got the banjo back into current music. Seems like that instrument disappeared until them and Little Big Town started performing. Too bad the music went downhill after the first CD for both of them. I like a few of Dierks Bentleys' songs, especially Settle for a Slowdown. Blake Shelton with Good Bye Time and Austin, Little Big Towns' Boondocks, Alan Jacksons' Midnight In Montgomery, Gary Allan (Songs About Rain, The One and Smoke Rings In The Dark) Jamie Johnson (I think thats his name) with In Color, and Jason Aldeans' Amarillo Sky. Select Keith Urban songs like Stupid Boy, Tonight I Wanna Cry, Making Memories of Us, and Raining On Sunday. His newest, You Look Good In My Shirt, is absolutely horrible.

For female singers (don't laugh): Martina McBride & The Dixie Chicks. Carrie Underwood has a great voice (refer to So Small) when she isn't yelling in her songs. Taylor Swift has a voice, again when not just making noise. Stations were in love with Our Song when Tim McGraw was far better. I like how the Dixie Chicks got censored by alot of the radio stations and still outsold everyone else in country the year their new CD came out. Stations are missing out too as I think there are a lot of good ones on there (Taking The Long Way, Easy Silence, Not Ready to Make Nice, Bitter End and Silent House).

Guess I like quite abit of the newer music, but not any of the racket & pop music they play now on country radio including but not limited to Toby Keiths' new music (She's A Hottie is his worst song yet!), Lady Antebellum, Sugarland, Bucky Covington, Jessica Simpson, Pat Green, Jimmy Wayne, and The Lost Trailers. Its as if country music has lost its identity nowadays.
