Oh I know!!! and George Strait too!! he just keeps getting better with age.. so much charisma *sigh*

i know!
you know what, i think the reason i like country music so much is because it has so much meaning. every song tells a story. its not just a whole bunch of people screaming, its someone telling their view or their take on an event. its just amazing to listen to the words of country songs.

TAYLOR SWIFT.
Love her!

her new cd comes out Nov 11!!!
I really like her but I think she's going to end up a sell out by doing all that MTV and re-mix stuff like with "Teardrops" the up beat version is kinda bad.. but she's a great song writer and her live performance vocals have improved

i like alt-country rock?? bright eyes, ryan adams, jeff tweedy! woooo! i also like the anthology of american folk music. Bluegrass & folk is kind of similar to country, eh?

I enjoy all types of music, never being able to really pick just one. With country, I am a fan of older country, George Jones, Johnny Cash (All time fave artist), Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, etc. In my opinon, todays country is so watered down with all of the artists singing about the same thing. There are those few exceptions but, again, in my opinion, it doesn't grab me like the older artists.

Chris Young has a new single called "Voices" and it's like "I hear voices all the time... ♪"
then I screamed "EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!" haha sorry that is kind of random but I'm always finding country songs that relate to Twilight in some way

some examples:

"Safest Place" by LeAnn Rimes -- Twilight

"What If You Stay" by Chuck Wicks -- in Eclipse when Jake wanted Bella to pick him over Edward
(like that was going to happen)

"Man to Man" by Gary Allan -- Eclipse when Jake and Edward when they were talking in the tent

"I Still Miss You" by Keith Anderson -- NM.. Bella when Edward left, throwing out cd's not reading...

"Starts with Goodbye" by Carrie Underwood -- NM

"I Wish for You" by Jessica Andrews -- NM Edward wanted Bella to move on (what was he thinking?)

"In My Dreams" by Josh Turner -- Eclipse/BD what Edward wants for Bella

"Lost in this Moment" by Big & Rich -- BD the wedding ♥

there's tons more I can't think of right now

Thank you for the Rascal Flatts comment!!!!! they get on my nerves so bad...
I like the song lyrics they have though... wait they don't write most of their songs never mind

Oh really? I thought that they wrote their material, or at least collaborated. I'm glad someone agrees with being a bit overwhelmed by the band at times! If people could just see through some of these music genres and just listen to the lyrics in songs, they'd see what they're missing out on.
