County's cool. I like Dwight Yoakam, JM Montgomery, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Clint Black, Randy Travis, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Alison Kraus, Patty Loveless.. Kenny Rogers until he did that stupid Geico commercial where they made fun of The Gambler.. And tried to look more like a Hollywood housewife than a man
I really like Irish Celt Music.. Especially the Chieftains. They do a ton of country and other music collaborations.. You know a musician has made it when The Chieftains make a song with them.. They play with Sinead O'Connor (I love her), Bon Iver, The Rolling Stones, Patty Loveless, Pavoratti, Madonna, Van Morrison, Mick Jagger, Tom Jones, Natalie Merchant, Roseanne Cash, Pistol Annies, Ziggy Marley, Ricky Skaggs, Willie Nelson, and a ton of others..
Irish music is actually one of the main roots of American Country music.. Particularly the fiddle back in the very early days and music in the Southern states, etc.. As well as a primary source of all our Military and maritime music.
Everyone knows Rocky Road to Dublin, The Parting Glass, The Foggy Dew, Danny Boy, She Moved Through the Fair, etc..
