CD covers (Country Music)

MY group chose to write on CD Covers and each one of us chose a style of music to write and talk about in class. I decided to write on Country Music because that is the kind or style of music that I listen to. A web defintion I found for what country music is: a simple style of folk music heard in the Southern United States; usually played on stringed instruments. The interesting thing is that country music is not only played and listen to by the people that live in Southern United States alone. There are now country music singer all over the United States.
The CD cover of country music can easily be identified in a group of different CD's. Usually country music covers have the artise or musicians picture behind the CD with a cow boy hat on. Sometime they will be sitting on a horse in the picture or you can see a CD with only a horses picture on it. The dressing of country music singer can easily be identified. Both female and male singer like to wear cow boy hat, cow boy shoes and belts with big hooks on them. Also there are some CD cover of that only have the cow boy hat behind it, these hats are usually the favoriate hat of the singer.
I love to country music because it is the only style of music that I can hear every thing they say. Also, every song have a story. The stories in country music are very interesting, some are funny, educative, entertaining etc. These stories are also understandable. Another thing I love about country music is the music videos. The music videos are good and interesting to watch. When you compare the music videos of country music and other style of music, country music's are meaningful. You can understand the song better by watching the video, in other words the video have everything to do with the song, but other styles of music are not like that. The music videos of other style of music usually have nothing to do with the song.
County Music have it own TV stations eg. CMT on channel 38 and there are also radio stations that play only country music eg 98.1Fm. These tells the way country music have become popular and also the importance of it to people.
Some of my farvoriate artise and their songs are, Martina Mc Bride (God's will), Dierks Bentley (what was I thinking), Keith Urban (You will think of me) and Jamie O'neal (trying to find alantis). These singers tells good stories in their songs and they also have good rhythm and melodies.
