There are many gradations and portrayals of ‘Country Music’.
One interpretation I’ve always enjoyed was from Patsy Cline and her interpretations of other writers music. I don’t know a lot about her. Some of my favorites by Patsy are’
Tennessee Waltz, I Fall to Pieces and the Willie Nelson song; Crazy.

“but it was the first time I realised there was more to country music than the Benny Hill theme tune.”

That was done by The Earl Scruggs Review. The author is a barbarian.

No thanks, we used to call it "suicide" music........

The angst, the grunge generation should be sued for appropriation.

If it isn’t about your wife, your dog, or your truck then it isn’t country.

When you play a country song backwards, you get your house back, your wife back, your dog back, and your truck back.

I figured that out in the 1960s when 1950s rock and roll was re-released as C&W music.

I am a Bob Wills -Spade Cooley fan myself, when Western music was real WESTERN!
