Assignment #23- Emma Shadwick- The Intro to Country Playlist

This playlist is one I designed just for people who claim to hate country music. It’s just not possible. On this playlist are some of the least “country-ish” country songs to ease this haters into eventually loving this genre of music just like I do.

  1. Female-Keith Urban. This song is by well-known country artist Keith Urban. However, with this song and his entire GraffitiU album, he mixes genres frequently. I would describe this song as pop-country. A lot of pop fans hate country. So maybe with this mix of the two, they will learn to like some aspects of the country vibe. 
  2. Snapback-Old Dominion. Some people who refuse to listen to country dislike country accents. There are no accents in this song. It is similar to 80’s pop so that is appealing as well. 
  3. Life Changes- Thomas Rhett. Some country haters claim that country songs are only about beer, sex, and trucks. This song puts that belief to shame. It tells a nice story about trials from the artists life that worked out for the better. This is accompanied by an energetic beat of drums, evoking uplifting feelings.
  4. Even Though I’m Leaving-Luke Combs. This song does not consist of  heavy southern drawl that many find irritating about country music. It rolls smoothly off Combs’s tongue with a positive message. 
  5. What I’m Leaving For- Lady Antebellum. Lady Antebellum consists of three unique voices that harmonize very well together. Country fan or not, there is an amazing level of talent in their well-thought out lyrics and harmony.
