    Country Mix Tape

    Lately I find myself listening to more and more country music. It's not that I used to HATE country music, it just wasn't my style for awhile. These are the country songs that I listen to very very often and that are on constant rotation on my Ipod. Their not to honky or twangy which is what I like. Most of these artists actually lean more towards a borderline pop sound. Hope you enjoy!
