Does anyone like country

Older country acts like Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Porter Wagoner, Jim Reeves, Chet Atkins, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. I like lots of other country acts including some newer acts when I hear them. Yes I am even a Scotty McCreary fan.

I am also a fan of Rosanne Cash.

Anyone else think that she and her father are one or the more prolific and talented father/daughter tandems in recent times?

Definitely ahead of Billy Ray and Miley, at least so far... :)

I also like a lot of country rock oriented acts like, ALlman Brothers, Skynyrd, New Riders, Little River Band, NItty Gritty DIrt Band, Outlaws, Diamond Rio, and many others.

Yeah I have the list and like it a lot. Nice recording as well.

Rosanne cash's cover of 500 miles off the list cd just played. Lovely!

"And "Sweet Home Alabama," Skynyrd's signature tune--you don't hear country in that?"

I lived in Alabama for four years. Folks down there hear country in that song. Guarandamnteed!

"Southern Rock" in general tends to have a lot of country influences scattered around. Its country flavored pop/rock in a sense.

Of course country and rock both have extensive similar roots in blues and the like as well.

Didn't Ray Charles do a lot back then to help popularize and cast a different light on country music? His "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" album specifically? That is a quite excellent recording, one of my favorites.
