Country Music’s biggest weekend in the UK – the Country to Country festival – took place this weekend. My review of the event can be found on the Telegraph’s website.
Throughout this week I will be posting reviews of each of the eight headlining acts on this website. Tune in tomorrow for Martina McBride and Chris Young, Wednesday for Dierks Bentley and The Band Perry, Thursday for the Dixie Chicks and Rascal Flatts, and Friday for Zac Brown Band and Brad Paisley.
I moved to America when I was 10; Lawton, Oklahoma to be precise. It was there that I fell in love with country music. My parents were fairly sure I'd grow out of it when we moved back to England, but that was 5 years ago now.
I'm fairly sure that I was born in the wrong decade. I like real country music, I agree with Merle Haggard when he said that he knew that Elvis was a real man because he could hear him breathe on his records. Classical music makes me feel like I should be a better person, but country music allows for flaws. I've been writing music since I was eight, and I can't make music like Merle Haggard or Elvis, but I'm working on it...
