The country music lifestyle is a life you can hang your hat on. If you live by the motto “God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy,” then you might be a country music fan. The genre has long stood for hard work, love, respect, freedom, and good times. And while it’s certainly evolved from the days of string bands and acoustic guitars, the simple core still remains.
Country music has been the home of legends old and new, from Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard to Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert. We’ve heard hits like “Jolene” and “Before He Cheats” on repeat. So, whether you’re into the classics or prefer a little pop in your twang, this country music quiz is for you. Check out our country music questions and answers, and see where you rank on the charts.
