Generally speaking, musical preferences correlate highly with personality traits. When it comes to my favorite type of music, I appreciate country music, reckoning that there is a strong bond existing between this music genre and my life.The reasons for my appreciation are as follows.

First of all, country music provides me with encouragement and comfort. In current society with fierce competition modern people have suffered a lot from greater tension. Consequently they need country music to get relief.Characterized by its straightforward chord progression, country music can redirect peoples‟ stress to the mundane and calm people down. Secondly recent studies have revealed that listening to country music constantly is conducive to human body. Moreover, country music has endowed me with flashes of inspiration when I am mentally exhausted.

However, some music listeners have condemned country music as the lamest and depressing music genre available to the public, which is a pretty flimsy claim considering the fact that country music has been a quintessential part of music history and American culture.

In a nutshell, listening to country music is particularly beneficial to people‟s physical and mental health. Therefore,I have always had an infatuation with this music genre.
