Country Girl . . . Shake it For Me

I. Love. Country. Music. Seriously. Just throw me on a horse

and call me a cowgirl.

And if you did, I'd love you forever.

I don't know how I went so long (basically the first two decades of my life) not knowing the true joy of country music. I shudder at the ignorance of my old self in thinking country music was lame. I had to ease my way in, only liking fake/semi-country (you know who you are Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift). But then several months ago I unexpectedly took the plunge and now I love it all. Even songs about tractors and . . . tractors. (I couldn't think of anything else that SCREAMED country. Oh no. I've become desensitized.)

I have to publicly thank Scotty McCreery here for being the biggest reason I gave country a chance.

Here are some of my current favies. What an adorable word.

Some are new faves. Some are long-time faves. And some of
my all-time faves aren't even on the list. But I said current, didn't I?
