The Heart of Country Music

Country music is at it's finest these days with the likes of Kellie Pickler, Miranda Lambert, Brantley Gilbert, Jason Aldean, to name a few  stars in country music,one thing for sure we can't count out those who made the waves early on when country music began. Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, June Carter,Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, even Loretta Lynn. There will never be a shortage from the country crop where as we're hearing from some great new comers on the country music scene, Sunny Sweeney has a real authenticity to her appeal, it very much so reminds me of her fellow counterpart Loretta Lynn; that southern twang is down right pleasurable. An album must have on my wish list this year.
Another talent making it bright on music row new comer Sonia Leigh who I'm reading up on,I'm  really diving in getting to know more on her. You never know who's going to appear or even to be mentioned  in Country Weekly Magazine. More so these days George Straight has appeared more on the cover than an artist to date. What's so fascinating about this man?, I ask myself this question often. The one and only answer,the songs,there well written. Any George Straight song ever heard I can pin point the one's I grew up listening to,"Check Yes Or No", "I Cross My Heart", and" All My Ex's Live In Texas"; by far though the one's I have truly fell in love with "River Of Love" and "I Saw God Today", icon, yes!! Country Weekly brings great taste of country music to my finger tips,it's no wonder I read from cover to cover. My true passion for country music,well,shall I say all music is my guilties pleasure.
