Top 12
1.Johnny cash- The man in black was the one who influenced rebellious class and style into the country seen. His presence in our ring of fire will be remembered from the day he took the stage till the day he took to the skies.

2. Alabama- Alabama is a timeless group that set the way for many other country groups. Their hits will never be forgotten, and Alabama will never be thought of without the thought of just how sweet it is. They were down home country boys singing the truth.

3. Brooks & Dunn- Brooks & Dunn have been through it all down those red dirt roads and honky tonks. They are two fine men that have made an influence on people in a way no one has thought possible. Their country roots come out in all of their songs with soul and passion.


4. Garth Brooks- Garth brooks defiantly doesn’t go down when the sun comes up. He has been a huge hit throughout his entire career, and when he came back he was stronger than ever with new music. He is a partyin’, smooth talkin’ cowboy that lives outside the fire.

5. Hank Williams Sr.-Even though I don’t know much about Hank Williams I know he was a great country artist and a very popular and great man. If he has so much talk about him, he must be something special.

6. Reba McEntire- Reba McEntire has wit and elegance in one red headed, country package. She has set a standard that is hard to beat and her generosity and giant voice makes her the great woman she is today.


7. Carrie Underwood- Carrie has made her way fast and furiously through her country carnival ride to the top. All of her videos have been #1 at some point in time, most for even more than six weeks straight. She is a very people and animal loving woman. All her heart goes into everything she does.

8. Toby Keith- Toby is the man that lives and breathes the American spirit. He supports his country in every aspect of his life. He’s a country boy from the football field, oil fields, to the fronts lines, and the stage. His music is what we stand for.

9. Gary Allan- Gary Allan, may have not been thought of as a front runner in a top 12. list, but his experiences and passion bring him into the race. He sings about the problems of a man from the devils candy to being a man and how she was the one. He has learned to cope with tragedy and even though he has taken a turn in his lyrics, he finds ways to keep things sane.

10. Patsy Cline- Everyone goes crazy for Patsy Cline with her angelic presence and powering voice, even at midnight she lays the way for country music. She made herself more than a coal miner’s daughter.

11. Rascal Flatts- Rascal Flatts are a bunch of little boys at heart skipping down a road in Mayberry. They bring to life the good and the bad sides of life in though their music. They are so realistic yet able to have as much as they’ve ever had on a summer night.

12.Shania Twain- Shania Twain paved the way for a new style of country woman. She wasn’t afraid to be risqué, and at times she added a little pop culture into her early music. She was a symbol of perfection to many eyes, and even though her rein has been put on hold for a few years, her music is very well known to many social groups.
