Rock and southern rock fans get Van Zant, pop fans get Taylor Swift, rap fans, well, they don't get my time unless they are listening to Ice-t or Ice Cube. I agree with Don Williams being a good example for fans of soft rock or adult contemporary. My wife likes Don Williams and he is completely underrated. Usually though, when someone tells me they listen to everything but country, a little conversation reveals theat they haven't listened to any. Depends on the convert.

I was raised on country and western cowboy movies. to me Country music is the best music I've ever heard. It is the only music that touches your soul and relates to real life. The lyrics are clean and the country sound is so relaxing. I think the reason many people refuse to listen to country is because they have not been exposed to it. I am a pure country music fan.

Just whip out something like "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound" and dare those "non-Country" fans not to tap a foot or mouth the words.

These days, I think Little Big Town is a good example of how broad country is. (In my experience "anything but country" folks think it's all like "Achy Breaky Heart.")

Haha, I've done that my share of times. I agree, go with rock-influenced songs. Easier to convert people.

Obviously this is a huge decision, since hypothetically some person's lifelong relationship with country music relies on my choice. I'll go with "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" by Willie. It's by a classic artist and it was written by a classic figure in country music (Fred Rose). It also has a good track record of bringing people around to country music. It <i>is</i> a safe choice, but I think that it's a strong one. my back-up choices would be Wine Me Up - Faron Young (though I know that its a record that sounds old enough to scare some people off initially) If Drinking Don't Kill Me - George Jones I have thought about this topic at great length.

But I am not sure that I could pick one song, as others have said it would have to depend on the person I was trying to get to listen.
