Everyone has a different origin story for how they fell in love with country music. The Bobby Bones Show went around the studio to share their love for country music, and what country artist was the beginning of that love.
For Amy, her first country music love was George Strait and continues to be to this day. She had a family member who worked for him growing up, so she always had a little bit of a family tie to Strait, and to top it off her dad listened to his music all the time. She has a vivid memory dancing with her father when she was really young to “Amarillo By Morning.”
Bobby’s connection to country music came from his grandma who played records like Johnny Cash’s gospel album, Andy Griffith, and Ray Charles‘ Modern Sounds of Country Music. However, for him, when he was old enough to make his own music choices the song that peaked his interest in country music was “Don’t Take The Girl” by Tim McGraw and everything Garth Brooks.
Eddie’s has always been and continues to be Garth Brooks. He remembers being really young and asking his dad for Garth Brooks’ World Tour Jacket. Eddie said it was so cheesy and shiny, but he wore it everywhere because he loved Brooks and his music so much.
Morgan said her parents always played country music growing up, but her dad would often play Reba McEntire in his truck like “Fancy” and “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” because he loved her so much. He even named their first dog Reba after her. Then Shania Twain was her first personal CD purchase and first concert to ever attend, with McEntire as the second concert.
