I don't really listen to country music. I live in Hawaii, and about a week ago, I decided to go through the radio channels in the car. I landed on one station that said it was a country music station. But they just played upbeat rock'n'roll or pop music with a bit of a country twang and some occasional steal guitar thrown in, with a bunch of 'country' themes in the lyrics. It wasn't country music. It was what they used to call 'New Country.'Back on the mainland, are there stations that play new songs that are genuinely in the 'Country' genre

there are plenty of country stations on the mainland. The best for old country is on SirusXM. Willies Roadhouse. The new country has been commercialized. I really dont care for it.

I don't listen to it either, Link.

there are a FEW country bands that are still country, or at least good. I like Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Zac Brown Band and Rascal Flatts as far new as I get, but 90% of it I turn off pretty quickly.On the traditional sounding side of things you have Kacey Musgraves (if you like 70s Loretta Lynn twangy hill-billy country, you might like her). And I think Brad Paisley is still country. Of course Garth Brooks and Reba McEntire are making new music these days too

Try this station....http://1017hankfm.com

Kacey is a great musician as the ratings of Follow your Arrow show but she is really more of a folk type singer. A good choice of newer country would be George Straight.
