There are still great artists in the country format.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.
Country music belongs to America.
The industry is always changing, but country music is like a force that always comes back.
There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.
Country music has always sort of been country music.
You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever.
There are people out there who are into traditional country music and for those people you have artists like Brad Paisley and Josh Turner and Alan Jackson. Then you have artists with a progressive style of country music, like myself and Eric Church and Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert.
I think regardless of where people are from, country music is a through line.
Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad.
Great artists have no country.
