Times have changed, and along with the times so has country music. American country music lovers have went from Loretta Lynn and Waylon Jennings, just two of the many classic oldies, to Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, two very appealing country music artists. However, it is not only the tune of the music that has changed, it is the image, the appeal, and overall the type of icons the media is portraying these modern music stars as. Icons such as Lynn and Jennings had identifiable features within their music as well as their appearance that spoke sweet southern belle and rugged twang. Whereas Underwood’s and Bryan’s appeal now is much more sexualized than it was during the oldies. These changes affect the way modern day singers are marketed compared to former country music stars, instead of focusing on talent it is now looks.

Carrie was finally living her dream. She always hoped to become a singer but never really thought American Idol would giver her that opportunity. Carrie followed her win with a multi-platinum selling album. One of her most popular songs on that album was “Jesus, take the wheel”. That song was one of her first best produced songs that her fans loved. It really stuck with her fans and is still one of her best selling songs today. After Idol she began writing and producing more and more music. She was always on the road but visited family, friends and of course her pets back home as much as she could. Carrie was also planning a upcoming tour with Kenny Chesney and would be appearing at a lot of festival bills that upcoming year. She was very busy but tried to maintain as much of a normal life as she could. Carrie had a lot of interviews after her win and became the center of attention. When asked what was the most important thing in her life, she answered by saying her friends, family and pets. Carrie had started a new life but never forget where she came from.

Country music is one of the most diverse changing genres in music that we have today. Some songs can take you on a beautiful story with a happy ending and some can make you feel heart broken and down in the dumps. Both can be great songs, and deliver powerful messages, but can be done in very different ways. Today, the country music that I know and love can either be a good ole laid back mellow song with nothing but an acoustic guitar, or have an entire band rocking out the whole song like songs that are very commonly associated with an artist like Jason Aldean, Luke Bryant, and Brad Paisley. So if country music is such a flexible genre, how it become like this. Back when country music started, it was only done one way for many years and then everything changed. How did an artist like Taylor Swift get associated into country music when critics and avid listeners say that she could just as easily be in the pop singer genre? There is a very big difference in the style of music that a Jason Aldean would play and the style of country that Taylor Swift sings so how did these two very different artists become associated within the same genre?
