Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Wow. I learned a lot about country music this weekend. My wife and I vacationed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which has a very classic western vibe. The downtown area has wooden sidewalks and railings. And there are some old-west saloons, tons of antler decorations, and a lot of cowboy pictures everywhere.
It’s a beautiful place. And it’s just down the road from Yellowstone National Park.
Anyway, in the lodge resort where we stayed, we decided to listen to the radio one morning. Scanning through the radio stations, my wife laughed when she realized that EVERY station played country music … so it was really our only option. We found ourselves swimming in a sea of pure country the whole time we were there. Yee-haw!
I must admit that I resisted at first. But hey, you just can’t fight lyrics like these:
In the end, country music still hasn’t changed my life. But there were some pretty good songs on the radio. You might check some of them out … the melodies to each of these songs are especially nice:
- “Still the One” (Shania Twain)
- “Toes” (Zac Brown Band)
- “Backwoods” (Justin Moore)
