What's some good country music for people who usually listen to rock?

Don't forget The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Jerry Jeff Walker.

Try some alt-country such as the Old 97's, Uncle Tupelo and Wilco. Much better IMO than the mostly watered-down commercial country you hear on the radio.

Hank Williams III has a harder, more raucous sound ranging from traditional country to punk.

Southern rock such as the Allman Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Lynyrd Skynyrd is rock that has a country and blues-influenced sound which can be appreciated by fans of both rock and country (look for their early stuff)

Check out some psychobilly stuff such as Reverend Horton Heat and Southern Culture on the Skids. Some of it's pretty whacked-out, but it features heavy country and rock influences and some pretty hilarious (often raunchy) lyrics.

Johnny Cash is an artist that transcended the country label and has had lots of crossover appeal (check out "Folsom Prison Blues").

Some of the Grateful Dead's early 70's albums such as American Beauty and Workingman's Dead have a lot of songs that can be loosely classified as country-rock, as does early Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young).

Depending on what types of Rock you're into and what types of Country she likes (lots of sub-genres in both of these categories), you should be able to find some stuff on this list that you can both enjoy.

it fairly is an thrilling form of music. nicely, i've got have been given all of that on my iPod, so i think of i grants help to. Rock, i might propose: Maroon 5, Avril Lvigne, Lifehouse, The Calling, Rob Thomas, Michelle branch, and Linkin Park. R&B, indexed right here are a pair recomendations: Beyonce usa: Carrie Underwood, Brandi Carlile, and THe Wrekers Oldies: 3 canines nighttime, Queen, and Frankie Valley and the 4 Seasons Pop: Justin Timberlake (i comprehend, how undesirable of me to reccomend him, yet his new album is exceptionally solid.), Stacie Orrico, The Donnas, and Hoku. i'm hoping I helped! solid success!

i agree with skeezix, alt country is the way to go, i like the older country too, none of the new stuff though

Garth Brooks - More than a memory

Taylor Swift - Our song

or you can go to the Top40 countdown and look for the country music list and it will give the Top40 country songs of this week. Good Luck.

Cross Canadian Ragweed, Hunter McKithan Band, and Reckless Kelly are some up and coming country artists/groups that usually have more upbeat/faster songs and an edgier (sp?) sound.

Try some of these country art est.
