Can't hep ya...I listened to country many years ago before it went to the city   I know when ever I hear the words, Lady Antebellum, I say what the he!! does that mean and lmao.  

I don't know a single thing about country music, apart from the fact I kinda like the sound of it

I'd like to download some country music but can any of you give me any tips on popular contemporary singers? I'm not interested in people like Dolly Parton or Betty cline or whatever her name is

Patsy Cline.   

Is Lady Antebellum considered 'country'? What about the bald guy with the Stetson? I can't remember his name or the girl who won American idol. Are any of them any good?

Yes, they're all considered country in the very loosest, most watered down sense of the word.  I'm assuming the bald guy in a Stetson you're referring to is Kenny Chesney?  There are a lot of Stetsons in country music that cover up bald heads. 

As for whether any of them are any good, that's a matter of opinion but in all three cases  I'd have to say no.

Dude... taht crap isn't country music. It's what is paraded around as country music but it's really just modern day "Pop" music.

Real country music died long ago for the most part..... Waylon, Willie, Merle Haggard, Johny Cash.... that was country music.

Alan Jackson and George Strait (two REAL country music stars) explain it best in this great song:

This.

Here's a link to a really old song I remember from my childhood in Nevada--

For the Sly guy with a stetson its more than likely either Kenny Chesney or Keith Anderson. Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Rascall Flatts, those are all pop. Alot of the 'raw' country or 'country on the edge' is real. I still like the old country like Hank Sr. Even bluegrass is way better than alot of the 'country' these days

Olivia-Newton John



She was born in the UK, but she became Australianesque...so she's a British Australianesque ex-Countryesque rock slut

And thanks guys, thats all very helpful. Actually I think the bald guy with the stetson I was referring to is Garth someone-or-other. Im not sure he's actually bald, but he looks like he should be. I'll google him in a minute. I've never heard of Kenny Chesney

I dont want anything too heavy..."my woman dun left me, I live in a trailer, I had Jack Daniels for breakfast" doesnt do much for me. So maybe its the countryfied pop I'm looking for. Dunno, I need to research more
