Why do you like Country?

^ That would be a lap steel guitar. They have a very distinct tone and are conventionally played with it resting on the performers lap or on a stand. It can be hit/miss with me too, but Brian Whelan can make it sing, like he does on this Dwight Yoakam tune:

For true slide guitar, look into some Derek Trucks. He's one of the best on the planet right now.

I always thought I hated country until I came into contact with American Gothic - Johnny Cash, Shovels and Rope, Strawfoot - I immediately fell in love with the music

By now, aside from the pandering stuff, I enjoy it a lot. Also Bluegrass, wonderful

Country music has this incredible ability to tell stories that resonate with everyday life. It's all about capturing the heart and soul of life's experiences in a down-to-earth way. The genre has a distinctive twangy sound that often includes instruments like acoustic guitars, fiddles, and banjos, giving it a warm and inviting feel. What really sets it apart is its focus on themes like love, family, and the simple joys of life. Unlike other genres, country music often brings listeners on a nostalgic journey, evoking emotions that feel genuine and relatable. It's like a musical storyteller that paints vivid pictures with its lyrics, making you feel like you're right there in the moment. The sense of community within the country music world is also remarkable; it's like a big musical family where artists and fans connect on a personal level.
