    Country music is everywhere, whether it comes from a truck stereo, blaring from a bar room, or a young kid upstairs singing in hopes of one day becoming the next big thing in music.

Coming from similar backgrounds to the start of their careers, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert share the same kind of love and passion for country music, which shows through their accomplishments and the mark they made through music industry.…

    There is such a wide range of what can be considered alternative music, which is another reason why I love it so much. The spectrum can start anywhere from Keaton Henson or Vance Joy, to the Civil Wars, David Bowie, and Hozier. Even within those artists lies hundreds of different styles, such as with Keaton Henson. His music can range from soft, sad melodies, to loud, angry lyrics, scratching its way from his throat. With country music, that spectrum is diminishes immensely. All country music sounds the same, making it difficult to decipher which artist is singing, especially with their southern…

    I have always listened to Country music since childhood. Country music always has a great lyrics and tells a story. I can always relate to a song. If I’m having a good day or bad day there’s always a song that fits my mood. When I’m in a good mood I like to listen to Thomas Rhett, he’s fairly new but he’s my favorite. When I’m riding down the road I like to listen to a new artist Maren Morris. Maren has a new song called ‘80’s Mercedes and it’s just a happy upbeat song. When I’m in a bad mood I like to listen to Brantley Gilbert and some of the louder music with more hardcore sound. For example, “Take it outside”. When I’m mad I also do better in my horse shows and place…
