Talk:Christian country music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gospel Country or COUNTRY-GOSPEL Music has been around for generations. It originated as a blend of early mountain music, cowboy music and the music from the plantations of the deep south. It was out of this blended music of America that Southern Gospel music was birthed, primarily in the southern states. Today, as Southern Gospel music seems to be waning in popularity, Country Gospel music has blended with a new brand of music called Christian Country music, and CHRISTIAN COUNTRY GOSPEL MUSIC is like a flower that's just begun to bloom around the nation and the world. It is music that deals with life's problems and God's answers to those problems, and it doesn't sound like the religious music of years past -- nor does it have the unpolished, raw sound of days gone by, but it has attracted extraordinary talent and quality in production, thereby making it pallitable to the ears of the un-churched who like the sounds of today's country music. It's becoming a tool for evangelism that's far surpassing it's predecessors, and you can hear this great music on many internet and traditional radio stations worldwide. One place you can go for addition details on how to hear this great music is the Country Gospel Connection at http://www.countrygospelconnection.com or CGCRadio at http://www.cgcradio.com.

I feel that this is no longer a stub.
[edit] Merge suggestion
I was asked about the procedure for merging this page with Christian country music and have put notices on both pages to solicit comment. They seem closely related and thus I'd think one could be a redirect to the other. Thoughts? --CBD 17:35, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge I agree that these articles would be better suited to be merged since they have the same genre and data. It seems redundant to have two articles with the same data. Junebug52 1:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge I totally agree with the merger of the two articles, both cover the same topic and it would be much better to have both under a single article. As to which title to keep, I'd keep "Christian country music" or maybe even "Christian country gospel" for a new title.... :) I shoud add that the "Country gospel" looks fantastic, excellent work from some hard working editors! Kudos!! Dreadlocke ☥ 19:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect - First line of the Christian country music article states:
-
- "Christian Country music is a format of gospel music."
- Similarly, the first section in the Country Gospel article begins:
- "Country Gospel, a subgenre of gospel music with a country flair, also known as Christian Country or inspirational country."
- I see no reason not to perfrom the merge as proposed. Since the Country Gospel article is in much better shape, I'd keep that as the main location and put a redirect under Christian country music. Kudos to Junebug for wikifying the Gospel article! →Bobby← 15:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Made change
Since the consensus seemed to be that the former 'Country gospel' article was substantially better, and the name 'Christian country music' is apparently more common, I moved that page to that name. We should consider what of the content from the smaller / less developed page should be worked into this article and thus that is included below. --CBD 02:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
