i was born in 1988 and i live in lebanon, so my list is gonna be different from most:

1. “Stay” – Sugarland. When it won best country song in the grammys i downloaded the song and fell in love with it, that’s really the moment i started loving country music.

2. Shania Twain – Come On Over. But i didn’t know she was country. I think that in Lebanon we only get the pop version coz it doesn’t sound like country. But i love that album!!

3. None so far (no country concerts here), but i wanna try to catch any miranda lambert concert if i can!

Great idea for a topic Kevin, i like it!

What was the first country song that you remember loving?

I was born in 1986, and my parents listened to alot of the country music back then, but my main link to country music was TNN, and one of the earliest memories I have of liking a song was “Out of Your Shoes” by Lorrie Morgan and “Come Next Monday” by K.T. Oslin

What was the first country album that you bought with your own money?

Well the first album i bought with MY OWN money was Trisha Yearwood’s album “Songbook: A Collection of Hits” I was 11 years old and did chores for weeks to earn that $10.99. But the first album my parents got for me was Trisha Yearwood’s debut album and “Love in A Small Town” K.T. Oslin on the same day, they got me all her(Yearwood) albums on the day they were released. I started buying them after songbook.

What was your first country concert?
Somewhere in 1994, it was Little Texas, Blackhawk, and this new guy Tim McGraw…I remember once Little Texas came on we left, it was too much noise for my dad with a 6 year old and 7 year old with him haha. A couple months later I got to go to Trisha Yearwood’s “Thinkin About You Tour” and got to meet her backstage

1. Black Sheep – John Anderson. I have an uncle that can play thousands of country songs and he used to have my brother and me sing this one with him (or rather scream) when we were young. “My Daddy was a brakeman on a highball travelin’ train…”

2. Ocean Front Property – George Strait. And on cassette no less. I have that album cover of George pointing out at the desert burned into my mind.

3. Clint Black – Nothing But the Taillights. Seems like Clint was the first for a lot of people.
