greetings,  country music makes me cringe and that's the truth
it gets its roots from folk music and blues, so if that is not your taste, I get that
its funny, i like folk and blues, but country, not so much
well blues as been part of country for much of its recorded history, maybe you aer listening to the wrong country!
i guess it depends on the artist,, i like some of Cash's songs, has more of a edge to it
He has pretty wide appeal, he has sld more than 90 million albums worldwide!
his songs have and edge to them, i just don't like 'pop" country
that makes sense, it is odd how much country music has changed from the 1920s
