The world of American Country music
is an ever expanding source of music. With each release of a song or album it
becomes a more expansive genre of music sometimes overlapping with a range of
other music such as southern rock, bluegrass, hip hop, and even some rap. This can include anything from the ever
expressive Taylor Swift to the faster more hyped music of Luke Bryan and the
hick-hop of Colt Ford or even Jason Aldean. This is not necessarily music about
a bunch of guys singing sad songs about losing women and in life. There are
plenty happy songs about how good life is.
Every week I plan to describe a
different artist. This will include their basic information, including where
they grew up and how they got into music and their subsequent rise to fame,
families they have started. Also pictures, top selling albums, singles and any
other interesting facts that I come across. Since country artists tend not to
make the news as much for the things they do,(uhh Chris Brown anyone?) maybe I
will be able to find some occurring or past drama to be very interesting.
