They search for the soul of the genre, for the songs that show the honest and vulnerable side of the singer without embellishment, the songs that tell it like it is. The The Soul of Country is all about the classic "three chords and the truth": songs that have a simple musical structure, but sing the basic human emotions in beautiful melodies.
