1. Dwight Yoakam, seemlessly traditional while merging in that true Honky Tonk feel. "Blame the Vain" is one of my favorite albums of all time.
2. Merle Haggard, because no list is complete without one of the most unique "twangs" out there.
3. Kris Kristofferson, well, he writes most of his songs, and they're undeniably powerfull.
4. Reba, Probably the only female country singer that I like, and I like her enough to have her in my top five.
5. Garth Brooks, sure, he's a pretty ****ty singer, but damn if he's not the best showman country music has seen in years.
I don't put Cash on it, because, well, he's my favorite artist of all time, and everyone has already cited why I also like him. I just skipped him and did my 2 through 6.
