All the red states are country music states. It all comes down to music preference.

What, like Nova Scotia? Or California?

The source music for country was fairly universal a century ago, when there were many more isolated rural areas. I have a book on Old Time Music Makers of New York State, for instance.

The breakdown so far looks more like the War Between the States, actually.

Opps! You beat me to the joke.

I, for one, hope this election marks the end of country music, or at least its most recent incarnation post 9/11.

Take me back to Garth Brooks or George Strait, at least.

KD Lang, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Cash, are/were fantastic, but most of the rest make my head hurt.

Old Crow Medicine Show are just great. I love it when they grace Prairie Home Companion.

I'm a huge fan of real Country and Western, as well as Bluegrass. I detest Nashville pop-country, but the old true stuff of George Jones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams I is the real deal.

Real Country music is white folks' equivalent of African-American Blues and Mexican Mariachi music. But you have to find the real stuff, not Nashville pop crap.
