Can't stand Nu-Country or whatever the shite they call it, when Carrie Bleeding Underwood is a big star in your genre it's time to call in the exorcist.
However I do like quite a few Country songs:
Much of Kenny Rogers output when he was young and not especially sentimental: Just Dropped in, Ruby that sort of thing.
Johnny Cash is always good, even when covering NIN
Willie Nelson likewise is also almost eternally fantastic.
And ending like I began, with an artist who isn't as twee as many think, Dolly Parton had some great little songs back in the day.
