I definitely do OP.

Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, bit of a Hank Williams, Carter Family, Waylon Jennings and a few more...

Nothing modern though...  Mainstream stuff is too syrupy and derivative.

My other half is big into it ever since we we went to Nashville couple years back. Randomly she also started watching Nashville only to find one of her old school friends is one of the lead actresses.

I’ve been dragged to c2c twice and various other gigs. As a metal fan I’d prob never admit it but a couple shows were good. Zak brown band and brothers osbourne spring to mind

I like a lot of the highwaymen stuff, I liked a lot of Neil young acoustic stuff which introduced me to a bit of willie nelson, and from there, Johnny cash, etc. Then merle haggard and George Jones

I really love willie nelson and emmy lou Harris in this, not really county I suppose, there is a definite Spanish /Mexican vibe to it but a great song..

I've been to Opryland in Nashville! (now closed). My friend from South Dakota had to explain who everyone was but it was fun. Have also seen the Oakridge Boys live at the Wayne County Fair, just before the tractor pull started.

The local radio show played this every Saturday night:

</iframe>"> http://<iframe width="854" height=www.youtube.com/embed/w2aVumycGzs?list=RDw2aVumycGzs" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>Growing up in the north of Scotland there were always country influences. I think the music resonated with the peoples it often reflected their situation more than the Beetles or the Stones singing songs from and about city life. In a similar way to when Morrissey sang Panic  " the music you play says nothing to me about my life" .

When I met my wife her mum was a country music DJ and often traveled to the states to interview C&W music artists.There are still a few pictures of her interviewing Johnny Cash and Chris Kristofferson in the hall. We found an old recording   of interviewing Johnny Cash and June Carter, really interesting  to hear.

I dont think I really appreciated a lot of the music at the time, as it seemed too old to a younger me, although Johnny often gets played these days.

Recently heard this guy on Bob harries` TV show and really enjoyed the performance and song UK country perhaps....

Hellyeah are good for some country metal, sweary though

Casey Musgrave's first two albums were fantastic, no so keen on the latest.
