Though I love a wide variety of music, my favorite genre is country music. A major reason for this is the lyrics. These songs do more than sound catchy they tell stories as good as any you can read in books or see in movies. This is a huge reason while country music from decades ago still hold up and are as powerful today. These stories are great stories and ones that everyone can relate too. The following 1949 article from Sponsor magazine discusses the enormous popularity and appeal of the genre. While this article refers to the music as "folk" it becomes abundantly clear when reading this that it is discussing country music.
