Try these. I call them real country music. They are older, but SO good. I grew up listening to this stuff. And they really grow on you.

Kitty Wells.

George Straight.

Loretta Lynn

Dolly Pardon.

Kenny Rogers.

Don Williams.

THESE ARE SOME GREAT GREAT ARTISTS! Please DO take the time to listen to at least a couple songs by each. I promise, if it's real country music you're after, you will NOT be disappointed.

Good luck in finding your mew music!

Anything by Loretta Lynn is great.

I love 'You Ain't Woman Enough', 'Fist City', 'Coal Miner's Daughter' and 'One's On The Way'.

She also sings 'Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man' with Conway Twitty which I think is such a good song- really catchy!

Dolly Parton has such good classic country songs too like 'Dumb Blonde', 'Why, Why, Why', 'My Tennessee Mountain Home', 'AppleJack' and 'Coat Of Many Colours'.

Her newer stuff is nice too like 'Backwoods Barbie' and 'Better Get To Livin''.

I love 'Gone Country' and 'Remember When' by Alan Jackson.

Also, if you're looking for NEWER artists that are still country (not country-pop) try Miranda Lambert or Josh Turner. :)
