The Best Country Music
Country music has conquered the airwaves since its inauguration in the 1920's in the Southern and Western parts of the US. The country class has a straightforward musical folk-type style and sometimes uses string instruments (e.g. Guitar) as accompaniment. The brand has a diversified list of categories that include gospel, alternative, Western swing and country rock. Artists like Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and plenty more, have paved the way for this sort of music to be recognized all over the globe. The list of the best country songs is an extremely long one. But if you are quite new to this genre and you wish to explore it further, there's no reason why you should not start by listening to the following songs.
I will always love you
Written and originally performed by Dolly Parton (to the dismay of die-hard Whitney fans, unfortunately), "I will always love you" is thought to be one of the best country love songs in history. The melancholy and the sincere, naked emotion that the song shows to its listeners, is the reason why even up to this point, listening to "I will always love you" does not get tiring.
It was released by Parton back in 1974 and the song follows her successful single "Jolene." It was received very well by listeners and critics from across America and even in Canada, landing it the lead spot in both the US Country and Canadian Country Charts at the time. The track proved to be highly marketable and "universal," because Whitney Houston had similar success when she revived it in 1992 as one of the musical scores in the movie "The Bodyguard." It sold a total of adding up to 600,000 copies in only one week, a unprecedented and incomparable feat up to now.
Sparks fly
Written and sung by the country music sensation Taylor Swift, Sparks fly is a new single from Swift's latterly released album, Speak Now. The tune has all of the qualities people have come to love about Swift's songwriting - odes to youthful obsession, catchy tunes, charming imagery and depictions, and tell-it-in-your-face emotions.
In this song/story, the girl protagonist falls for a good-looking young man even though she knows that it's a "bad idea." And even with that though under consideration she "sees sparks fly whenever he smiles." The lyric of the tune has engaging lines and it is able to supply the necessary colours to make the Swift's rendition as real-life as real-world quality can get.
