^ Yep, I often find that a documentary about a musician or genre is more interesting than the tedium of actually listening to their material. It's a point that someone made in this thread, which could really do with some repair. Links don't work and the OP deleted all his posts, so it has a kind of eerie ghost-thread feel:-

I've got this weird thing with country, where I like the idea of getting into it, but can't seem to find artists that I really connect with. Unless you count Neko Case, who is more alternative country, I guess. I really like Joan Baez and she feels kinda country at times, but still... this genre keeps slipping through my fingers.

^ Apart from knowing about Neko Case, this could be word-for-word my opinion about country music too, MicShazam! If you are willing, perhaps we could explore the genre together here ? It'd be fun to have a companion on the journey, especially as the destination itself might turn out to be a disappointment.
One starting point could be where country music blurs into the more appealing genre of rock. If so, Gram Parsons might be the guy to begin with:-
