Country music may be a trademark of the Wild West, but it is a favorite of country folk and city folk alike. The music will always maintain a traditional twang, but online country radio has modernized its availability and increased its exposure to the world. Anyone, cowboy or not, can listen to country music for free and is guaranteed to enjoy what they hear.

The twang of guitar strings, the heavy tap of a cowboy boot and the sound of a lonesome heart breaking. This was the original theme of country music lyrics, and although Linda Ronstadt’s version of "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" may have been the sum of country music glory in 1978, the genre has kicked up its heels and two-stepped its way to a fresh outlook in the new millennium. Even though it is easy to find new country music with the old west woes, there are plenty of new country music artists who are playing a new tune. Keith Urban, Faith Hill, and Martina McBride are just a few of the hottest country stars right now and their music is far from average. The versatility of today’s country music artists has afforded many of them airplay on stations other than country radio alone. The new country music contains an element of rock, folk and even pop as 2005 American Idol winner Carrie Underwood demonstrates in her Top 100 song "Inside your Heaven".

Back in the day when classic stars like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton were just starting out country music radio was heard mainly from the deck of pickup trucks. But with the ever expanding internet horizon, a broad door known as "online country music radio" was opened and now listeners can easily and comfortably access country radio stations from any city in North America. Most of the stations found online offer current country music news, the newest country music videos and the top songs off of the country music charts. Many sites will even allow you to build your own station with your favorite songs and artists.

In 2006 Brooks & Dunn won the Country music award for their song "Believe". This song is a great example of the depth and faith that is finding its way into country music lyrics.

"I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
they tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
Oh I believe"
