Country Music

Today in country music we've got teen-sensation Taylor Swift crossing over on the charts, Keith Urban going strong as ever and a cowboy from East Tennessee who's created his own satellite-radio station, and that doesn't even scratch the surface.

From newer sensations like Lady Antebellum and Jason Aldean, to timeless favorites such as The Statler Brothers, Gene Watson, George Strait and Reba McEntire, you've found the place for a country music perspective from the fan's point of view: Kenny Chesney, Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Tim McGraw, Marty Stuart, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and everyone in between.
