I have a hard time choosing just one as my favorite. I was wondering if you have a favorite and why? My choice would be either Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Keith Urban or Kenny Chessney. Yours?

I am not a huge fan of country music. But at the same time I am a bit old school. I like a lot of the oldies like Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Jr., Johnny Cash and guys like that. I liked Randy Travis quite a bit too.

Oh love the country classics! Country music pretty much turned into a new genre with this new stuff/crap. In looking back at my choices way back, I would have to say Alan Jackson would be my choice now. Liked Toby Keith a lot too!

@porwest And a couple throw in some rock runs for more popularity. It's just pathetic!

@kareng I would agree. The new country music is almost undistinguishable from pop.

I would have to pick Tim McGraw. He is a great singer and he loves to be with his wife and kids.

My all time favorite? Well that's easy, but I know that none of you have heard of him. My favorite is my son-in-law. You know how it seems that many mother-in- laws love to hate their son-in-laws and can always find bad things about them? I of course can find flaws in him.Of course I don't think anyone is good enough for my baby girl. LOL But, in honesty, I have to say this boy can sing! When I first heard him, I was expecting to be able to roll my eyes and say yeah sure,everyone thinks they can sing. But, wow. This boy blew me away. It's kind of like Blaine Larson[I think that's his name], he sings and you think "where did that voice come from?". The problem is he doesn't think he's anything special. Yet, anyone that hears him thinks he needs a career in the music industry.

What is his name? You can't promote him without throwing his name out there!

I would have put his name [full name] in there if I could ever convince him to make a recording or something. Jason,my son-in-law, really doesn't think he stands a chance. He really is a wonderful singer. Seriously, anyone that hears him says so. I just wish I could get him out there and have the right person hear him. Maybe then, he would believe how good he is.

Mine would have to be Trace Adkins. He is one handsome man. Oh my gosh!!!!!!! Plus he has a voice that just makes me melt. All the ones you listed are also very good singers and good looking.

George Strait will always be King George and one of my favorites, but I also love Alan Jackson and Luke Bryan. Out of all the country music concerts I've been to, I've seen Luke Bryan live more than any other.

Now you have me trying to think of which country music artist I have seen most! I think it would have to be Mark Chestnut because he came pretty often to The Texas Club in Baton Rouge. I got free tickets with my press passes to a lot of concerts when I covered the Baton Rouge area with press on country music for the Examiner. Loved it! My favorite that I met, was T. Graham Brown! Going to see him again in October where he will be playing at an outdoor festival not too far from where we live.

I like a lot of country singers and to pick one is not easy. Also I have been listening to country now for thirty years and have a lot of favorites from older singers as well. I love Alan Jackson, Trace Atkins, Toby Keith among some of the newer ones. Some others I love to listen to are Statler Brothers, Red Sovine, TJ Shepphard, John Schnieder, Garth Brooks, Alabama, Billy Ray Cyrus and the list could go on and on. I just like way too many to pick one. Brad Paisley, LoneStar, Kenny Rogers...they are all very good. Pick one out of that list and they would be my favorite.

Well I am going to be different than everyone else, I mean I really enjoy Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, and Alabama, but my all time favorite is Radney Foster. He is not releasing much anymore but I just love his voice so much. He also writes terrific lyrics. He is very talented, but not real mainstream. He also is great in concert. He really cares about his fans and is just all around superb.

I have long preferred female country singers to male, most likely because of the voices, but if I had to pick a male at current, I would go with Toby Keith. He is always coming up with fun and interesting song choices, and his originality has been what always drew me to his music. Your choices are very talented as well.
