  3. Like The Supplicant, I've never settled easily into Country, although there are some tremendous exceptions, especially where Country almost blends with Blues...

  4. Nicely done. I'm a fan of country music because of the lyrics. Its stories embody those very things you mentioned. Sometimes, cheerful, other times melancholy, but all in all, captivating. To me, at least.
