There are literally hundreds of country music artists, and everyone will have their own favorite singers, but here is a list of some of the most unforgettable country music singers of all time:
Merle Haggard -
As both a singer and songwriter, many believe that Merle Haggard could be one of the most important singers to emerge from 1960's country music. He had a style that was all his own and related to the common everyday man. Haggard's music was appealing because it came from his real life experiences. Even today he continues to inspire people with his music.
Dolly Parton -
There are very few people who have never heard of Dolly Parton. Not only has she succeeded as a country music artist, but also as a songwriter, actress and philanthropist. Most people do not realize that Dolly has written and published over 600 songs. Many would recognize her from the movie "9 to 5", or from her many charitable works. Possibly they know her from Dollywood, her own country music theme park in Tennessee. But aside from all of those things, Dolly Parton sings songs that appeal to everyday people.
Garth Brooks -
Garth Brooks came upon the country music scene at a time when country was trying to reinvent itself. He was the right person at the right time. His music was a mixture of country, honky-tonk,folk and rock. He was not only able to relate to peoples feelings with such hits as "The Dance" and "Friends in Low Places", but he was also a very creative entertainer. Setting all kinds of country music sales records, his music is still a favorite of many.
Brad Paisley -
Specializing in unique and creative songs, Brad Paisley is able to mix fun and reality into his music which has created a very large fan base. Paisley is not afraid to tackle sensitive issues with his laid back style of music, like the song "He Didn't Have to Be", dealing with the issues of men who become fathers to someone elses children. He also is not afraid to poke fun at himself or others as in the song "Celebrity". Brad Paisley has developed his own style that cannot be forgotten.
These are just a few unforgettable country music singers. Obviously there are many, many more, and will provide you hours and hours of great music for you to enjoy.
