The Value of Country Music

I try to listen to music everyday especially when I am burnt out or frustrated.  In fact, if I remember to listen to music before that time, I can actually prevent the onset of daily frustrations. 

Yesterday, on a lazy Sunday, as I was milling about, I heard an old country song and realized that I have not been listening to country music as I often use to.  In fact, I had forgotten all about it as I have been listening to all sorts of other music.

I remember my old days when I would listen to the likes of Johnny Cash and just be diggin on the great voices and stories within the songs.  But then, the country music scene became a bit stale as all of these teeny bopper cross-overs from American Idol were hitting up the  top country music and I kind of lost interest.

But now, I have read in a A Tale of Dolly Parton that the big names from the older years are coming back.  In fact, Dolly’s classic hit Jolie has found itself #1 on the charts.  I love this song and it has re-ignited my interest in country music.

Which is great, because I now remember the value of country music and have it back in my life!
