Country has morphed again in recent years. If you have a local FM radio country program today's country is filled with songs that are more pop/rock and country rap; both are quite annoying.

If you have XM radio you can hear today's country; kind of a top 40 of the pop/rock/rap country. I have my radio programmed for Outlaw Country and Willie's Roadhouse. There is also a country movement called "Americana", which is a cross between Outlaw and Roadhouse.

I like Alison Krauss and Union Station. They fall into that Americana category. Alison Krauss is the all-time female Grammy winner. Lucinda Williams, Outlaw. Willie Nelson has some great standards.
