Country has many sub-genres including country pop, cowboy, bluegrass, country gospel, new country, and honky-tonk; outlaw country, urban cowboy, western swing, alt country, country rock, and country-folk. Yet all country music- whatever it's called- aims to do three things: pay homage to tradition, tell it like it is, and give the people their money’s worth. Here are some of my favorite country songs I’ve acquired over the years. Enjoy!
