there is a real authenticity and love of country (no wonder, hehe) in country music (by country I mean bluegrass, country folk, country rock, alternative country, and also southern rock which is a blend of country and hard-rock) and it's part of America's culture. I really went to country music thanks to Dixie Dregs which always have a full country song on their albums. Some of my favourite artists in country music include Johnny cash, Hank Williams, The Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Pure Prairie League, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Son Volt, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen and many more.
