BBC Country Music Quiz - minority interest thread alert!

[Berk on a Bike]

6......

Did you know that Shania is only 3" tall?

That don't impress me much

 

[Pale Rider]

7/10

Quite a few guesses, and I still don't know who Julia Roberts was married to.

Shania Twain was married to a bloke called Mutt, although I believe his real first name is Robert.

 

[Crackle]

6, but now I feel dirty, I was hoping for zero

Yeah, a surprising 5. just shows you how subversive rubbish genres can be. I'd only feel dirtier if I'd scored 5 in a jazz quiz...

 

[Diggs]

I got 7.
I'm not a country fan per se but in the eclectic mix of my tastes there is obviously some country music in it. The classics aside (Cash etc.) I'd say it's individual tracks although I love the voice of Caitlin Rose and the marvellous home grown Broken Family Band were utterly brilliant.

Whistling Bob caught me out by not liking the right thing.

Mutt Lange. I'm glad my old labrador never had that!

The OP quite reasonably describes this as 'minority interest' for a largely UK audience.

But there are huge numbers in parts of America.

I recall one year when Michael Jackson was selling millions of CDs around the world, he was outsold by US country artist Garth Brooks, and most of Brooks' sales were from just a few states in America.

Brooks has six albums in this Billboard top 10 all time greatest country sellers list:

Slightly OT but country music related. Is anyone familiar with the concept album White Mansions?

I only ask 'cos no one I ever speak to about it knows it, It's one of my fave records.

8/10 FFS I don't even like C+W

 

[Dave 123]

Pfft. I got 9!

You'll have to sit in the naughty corner if I tell the mods.....

You'll have to sit in the naughty corner if I tell the mods.....

You wouldn't dare!!

8/10 - Don't ask me how though, I don't really to Country music; must have been all those tapes dad played in the Cortina estate when we went on summer holiday day trips.
