I'm originally from the Canadian prairies, and country is pretty pretty ingrained in life there. So, even though I didn't listen to much growing up I had an appreciation for it and eventually got into it. As I've moved around abroad it also carries a measure of homesick nostalgia (which is a damned fitting role for country to play). But, other than that fluffy ****, It's an amazing story-telling music which is often overlooked.
One of the coolest things I've come across in music is that if you pay attention to the lyrics, these three tracks are all telling the same story either from different perspectives or extending it from Jolene. Epic ****.
