Without overloading you..... country music is exemplified in these artists.

Hank Williams Sr, & Jr.

Willie Nelson

Waylon Jennings

George Jones

Merle Haggard

Patsy Cline

Loretta Lynn

Buck Owens

and that's just a very small starting place. If you didn't grow up on these artists, I'd suggest hitting YouTube and look them up and listen.

A bit more modern but still solidly rooted in country would include:

Alabama

Brooks & Dunn

Emmy Lou Harris

Garth Brooks

Trisha Yearwood

Lacy J Dalton

Reba MacIntire

There are so many other artists and groups who were instrumental in the history of country music.... the more you dig, the more you will find.


edit to add: and don't forget the classic duet combo's....
Conway & Loretta,
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton,
Kenny Rogers and Dottie West<<< YOU GOTTA HEAR THAT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlcRqPG1OeQ
George Jones and Tammy Wynette.
Every one of those are country classics.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
