Comment:

We surely love our jazz and soul and rock 'n' roll, but if you really want to get to know the essence of America's heartland, you gotta dust off your Stetson, put on your cowboy boots, and dig into the music we — and everybody else, for that matter — know as country. From the backwoods of West Virginia to the badlands of Texas, from the hills of Tennessee to the Rocky Mountains' highs, country music tells the story of work and play, love and loss, joy and sorrow like no other music can. And from classic-era legends like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, and Johnny Cash, to modern-day superstars like George Strait, Faith Hill, and Dwight Yoakam, we've got country's biggest and best thoroughbreds saddled up and ready to ride.
