Country Singers Of Today Vs. Yesterday: Who's Better?

By Emily Harrison


Even though naming the best country singers is something subjective, there are a few that have been extremely popular and their songs are still in playlists of country lovers. When it comes to naming a few artists of all time, which have released some really good country songs, we have to make some really hard choices. However, Hank Williams, also known as one of the best hillbilly music artists, has brought the honky tonk style into the attention of country lovers.

George Jones was one of the country singers with a lot of hits released, but he had a habit of not appearing at his concerts, leaving his fans waiting. Another excellent country singer, Johnny Cash, used to integrate different styles of music into his hits. Loretta Lyn is considered to be a country music legend due to the fact that it was one of the first great country singers. Eddie Arnold is also a very appreciated country singer, who has released numerous hits over a period of sixty years. 



When it comes to old country songs, the artists that have released them are considered important figures in the history of music. Johnny Cash and George Jones are in fact two of the most important classic country artists, along with Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, and other famous names. However, there have been many singers that added country songs to their albums and were famous for other music genres. For instance, Elvis Presley started his carrier as a country singer, but chose to change his style along the way in order to sing rock and roll. Genuine country lovers know and enjoy classic country music as well as modern country music with all its influences. 



Modern country singers are certainly appreciated among country music lovers because of the great hits that are released on the music market. Lady Antebellum is one of the most famous country bands these recent years. The group released its first hit in 2007, which got the third place in Country Charts. Carrie Underwood is a popular country singer, who won the American Idol and her debut album, Some Hearts, is one of the fastest selling albums.

Country lovers who enjoy traditional country music might not appreciate the new influences these modern artists bring to the music style. However, each and every country lover has a playlist with the best country songs, which never leaves their mind and soul.
