After writing my eloquent and diplomatic piece rant about contemporary country music today (it’s just as bad as that other CCM!), I wondered how we could crowd source all the good country music into one spot. Since this webzine is The Curator, I thought to myself the most productive thing to do at this point is to curate a list of good country music artists. These country music acts should be contemporary, so naming the greats (Cash, Lynn, Jones, Williams, Twitty, Cline, etc.) is not necessary. We want to know who is making good country music right this very moment.

Here’s all you have to do:

• think of up to three great country artists
• list them in a comment

After two weeks we’ll cull the list down and then have a debate. Hopefully we can get to a Top 20 list of Curator fan’s top country acts.

To help you get started, here is my suggestion for the list: Dierks Bentley.

Happy listing!
