I don’t care for country music, but when I was little there used to be the Roy Clark Show on TV and I had a real appreciation for his banjo playing. Also, Steve Martin is a great banjo player. I do like the Taylor Swift song (don’t know what it’s called) but it’s known as a “crossover hit” because it’s country that crossed over to the pop charts.
Another thing, sometimes when I’m in my car I listen to NPR and they might have a show about really old country, like music from the Ozarks, and I like the really old quaint stuff, and some classics like Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
But no, as a rule I don’t listen to country radio and I don’t know any stars.
