I’ve been born and raised in NY but I still can’t get the country out of my heart and I love it. As a young man I was raised to rock and roll and disdain country which was easy until Garth Brooks taught me to twang and you’all with a bit of guitar riff. Don’t get me wrong I still luv Rock and Roll and a full range of various other genre’s of music but country touches my heart in a way other forms of music haven’t been able. Here are just a few reasons this boy from NY is a still a country fan.
(1) Great Lyrics- The poetic nature of the music tells stories that other forms of music are in most cases lacking these days.
(2) Real Instruments- Much of today’s music is too electronic and therefore looses it’s authenticity but country still has real guitars, drums and of course the fiddle.
(3) Loyalty- Individual artist and groups have loyal fans that enable these artists to continue performing much longer then artists in other genre’s. This enables an artist to experiment with various songs without worrying that one miss will destroy their career.
(4) Clean Fun- Country artist generally don’t try to push the envelope into the garbage to sell a record but instead rely on the raw talent of the artist to succeed. Most of this music can be heard by the entire family without having to switch stations in between a song.
