Country music is often a genre that turns a lot of people off. They would rather do anything else than listen to a little country song. But for those who live, breathe and die for country music, everything about it makes you want to get up, dance and grab a "cold one," compliments of Eric Church. Country music soothes the soul and makes you want to appreciate life. If you are someone who is an avid country music lover, you may agree with these six reasons why country music is so damn good for the soul.
1. It's the best music for driving around with the windows down
Blast some Keith Urban "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16" and feel the breeze on your face. Grab your shades and sing a long.
2. It is the perfect tailgating music
Turn on a little Frankie Ballard, "Sunshine and Whiskey", grab your drink, dance along and get ready for the game.
3. Every song has a vital life lesson embedded in the lyrics
Thomas Rhett's "The day you stop lookin' back", is the perfect example of leaving the past behind and enjoying the now.
4. The artists are all so humble
Take a step inside a country music concert or festival, and you'll quickly realize that most of the artists are wearing blue jeans, cowboy boots, and an old t-shirt. It's all about the music for them.
5. It makes you want to enjoy your life
Country music is all about free living, enjoying life and stickin' it to the man. Listen to any country song, and somewhere in there, you'll find a reason to live your life the way you want to live it.
6. It teaches you about love
Country love songs are the best love songs, and you''ll quite often listen to a little Keith Urban and realize you deserve to be treated like a queen. You can also look at any of country music's favorite couples and instantly envy their love.
