So everyone likes to listen to music. And everyone has their favorite genre. My favorite happens to be country. Not that old western or southern bluegrass music, but more modern-day country. To me, country music is so relaxing. It is the genre of music that I listen to the most in my car. Even though I listen to all kinds of music, country is definitely my favorite.
I used to listen to country when I was younger because my dad liked it. He grew up in Kentucky, so it was typical. I remember going to the state fairs and going to little concerts such as John Michael Montgomery. I kind of got out of listening to country until a few years ago because I was more into pop music when the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, and ‘Nsync came out. My friend Ashley actually got me into liking country music again. She stayed with me for like a whole weekend and would play nothing but country music the whole time. I was so annoyed by it at first, but then it grew on me. I now have to stations programmed in my car for country music.
My favorite country artists include Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw. Country music is just so peaceful. It has a big influence on me. It is definitely the type of music that I listen to the most. It calms me down if I’m having a stressful day. Most of the time, country songs send a positive message as well. I just love it!
