Friday Fun: Country State Of Mind

Who is the best country music performer alive today?

Country music fans have it made. While stars of other genres may only tour once every two or three years, many A-list country music performers take to the road almost every year. They work hard for the applause, leaving satisfied fans feeling they truly got their money’s worth.
