I live in Texas too (Speaking of...Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind? LMAO! Sorry, George Strait humour.) and growing up, my dad listened to either oldies or country. I went through a period when I didn't like it at all, but lately, I've been listening to it more. I love 80's country, which gets knocked a lot for it's pop leanings. Dolly Parton is my favorite female country singer, she's just phenom. Her and Stevie are eerily similar too. Keith Urban is my favorite male country singer. I have never been to any country concerts (well, Keith, but that's Keith, baby!! LOL), don't own many country CD's, but I do love me some Ronnie Milsap, George Strait, and various songs from various people.

I would say in almost every genre, there's a sub-genre of singer/songwriter who is different, stands away from the norm. I would put Keith in that category. If you don't like country, that's cool, but there are lots of artists in various genres that might surprise ya.
