  She's one of the "first cross-over" stars? NONSENSE. Her success is almost entirely based on her youth and our country's obsession with youth.

  I would suggest that everyone check out the work of Sumner McKane. Country music may often tell stories, but it's hardly the only genre to be based on narratives. A touring country guitarist, Sumner's solo music is instrumental, and some of the most beautiful and original country/western/americana I've heard recently.

  i'm with christopher on this- this is the worst crap i've ever heard. and lest you want to dismiss this as a regional/cultural issue, i am a HUGE country fan- i've seen merle haggard 4 times, have every johnny cash, loretta lynn, george jones album, etc etc.

  why are we being subjected to this? the world is full of amazing music.

  Taylor Swift is mediocre. I really don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal of her. Musically I see her as the country equivalent to Avril Lavigne.
