It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Ain't turned me into a redneck, made me ignorant OR vote...

well, dumb. Guess redneck and ignorant though, is redundant.

The Johnny Cash American Recordings is one of the most satisfying oeuvres of anyone I can think of.

His Sun Recordings are damn good. Most of his pre 1980 Columbia Recordings too.

The "outlaw" country guys are worthy, especially Willie.

Recently deceased Guy Clark was a helluva writer and singer.

Ditto Merle Haggard.

Females? Besides Patsy Cline there's Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris.

Lucinda Williams rides the line 'tween Country and... Americana.

Country is like any other genre, there's some mighty Good, PLENTY of Bad, and of course the obligatory Ugly.

The best of it is, in fact, Beyond Category (to use Duke Ellington's apt phrase).
