I was lucky enough at 17 to get a radio announcer job at a country station in Wyoming, and I really took it to heart. I'd have to say Steve Wariner did the most work of melting a rock 'n roll rebel's heart, then I started feeling Tammy Wynette, Tompall Glaser, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Mickey Newbury, Tom T. Hall, and others. I already had the pop tweeners in my head like Glen Campbell, Tanya Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Jeannie C. Riley and Linda Ronstadt, but I realized what a gold mine was sitting on those shelves after a short while.
I was in the night slot so I had a lot of wiggle room, but eventually the reaction to the older school records made me go there. So I guess I'm saying it's old school fans like you that got this younger generation country lover to go find the roots. Thanks.

Being from a small Texas town, I was raised on Country music. I have my older brother to thank for that. He used to invite friends over for bbq's and they would all play the classics. George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard, Waylon & Willie etc etc. and i just grew to like country music. I have strayed off from time to time, but always find my way back home:)

My parents, we had conway on cassette when I was really small, like 2 or 3 and my dad said it was my favourite, and I still love it. Whenever we have parties, we get out the guitar and sing and all we sing is classic country. It's just so pure and simple, I love it.

Country was pretty well the only kind of music I heard when I was growing up

My parents! But out of all the music out there, country sounds the best, a little depressing, a little upbeat, and fun all at once..

Late 50's early 60's there was quite a few crossover hits,and I suppose it was possibly Johnny Cash with "ballad of a teenage queen"
