	Country Music
		It is his respect for both the country music and his connection to the icons of the genre that has made him one of today's most wanted country artists.
		Many of his hit has been composed by him only and his way with a hook was part of the reason he never really hit a commercial dry spell, even in the new millennium.
		Alan’s conviction that the country music brings out the pain, the regrets, the broken hearts bring us back to this very simple yet profound tradition.

		And whether they tap their toes to the lively sound of bluegrass and honky-tonk or hum along with the rhythm and blues, country music lovers share an appreciation of the simple and most important things in life: faith, family, and friendship.
		Maybe that is because country music crosses the barriers of culture and language, capturing all the joys, struggles, laughter, and heartache that are part of our daily lives.
		In any case, the growing popularity of country music is a tribute to generations of American composers, lyricists, singers, and musicians.

	Blue Ridge Country: Bristol, The Real Home of Country Music? Jimmie Rodgers & Carter Family
		Country music's first stars -- Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family -- both recorded in Bristol as early as 1927.
		Nobody was calling it "country music." But by 1927, recording engineers for a handful of labels were scrambling to record "hillbilly music," often conducting field recording sessions.
		The senates of both Virginia and Tennessee have recognized Bristol as the birthplace of country music.

	The Kentucky Headhunters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are essentially a southern rock group that adapted their sound to country music.
		Their music has crossed a number of genre boundaries, at various times ranging from country and bluegrass to blues to hard rock that borders on traditional metal.
		The band met considerable resistance with record executives, since their music was still closer to rock than to anything that was playing on country radio, and they refused to be signed as a rock act.

	Alan Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alan Jackson (born October 17, 1958) is an American country music singer and songwriter, who became one of the best-selling country musicians of the 1990s.
		Although Jackson has been characterized as a "hat act", his influences go deep into the roots of country music and his songs have been recorded by some of the greats like Charley Pride, who recorded "Here In The Real World".
		His sense of humor comes through in "Gone Country" with the satirical description of the wannabes who cynically jumped on the country music bandwagon in the 1990s: "Everybody's gone country/Yeah we've gone country/The whole world's gone country." He has been credited for popularizing a Neotraditional Country sound.

	Roughstock's History of Country Music - Outlaw Country
		Nelson's music in the early and middle 1960's is credited with sparking the "outlaw" or progressive country music movement.
		Willie reconciled hip and redneck musical interests and helped lead a new explosion of interest in country music, teaming up with Waylon Jennings to top the country charts with "Good Hearted Woman" in 1976, and to be featured on country's first certified platinum album, the "Wanted: The Outlaws" compilation.
		Waylon was born in Littlefield, Texas, and influenced heavily by the sound of WSM and the Grand Ole Opry, with Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, and Jimmie Rodgers.

	Music: What Comes Around (Nashville Scene . 06-28-99)
		Fortunately, the long-held conventional wisdom of Music Row began changing in the early '90s, as Tillis and Yearwood were joined by Reba McEntire, Wynonna, Tanya Tucker, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Lorrie Morgan, and K.T. Oslin in the gold and platinum winners' circle.
		Country reached an all-time-high market share of nearly 19 percent in 1993, and it broke the $2 billion barrier in 1995.
		As country music celebrates the 10th anniversary of its boom, it's too soon to tell if 1999 will mark the beginning of another era or merely mimic last year's performance.

	Garth Brooks photo biography discography album awards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Garth Brooks is a pivotal figure in the history of country music, no matter how much some country purists would like to deny it.
		With his commercially savvy fusion of post-Merle Haggard country, honky tonk, post-folk-rock sensitive singer/songwriter sensibilities, and '70s arena-rock dramatics, Brooks brought country music to a new audience in the '90s - namely, a mass audience.
		He shattered that barrier in 1991, when his second album, "No Fences", began its chart domination, and its follow-up, "Ropin' The Wind", became the first country album to debut at the top of the pop charts; "No Fences" would eventually sell a record-shattering 13 million copies.
