Country Music Quiz

A country music quiz is a storytelling test with a trap built in. Half the biggest hits crossed straight onto pop radio, so telling the real thing from the crossover is where casual fans slip. The classics give themselves away: the mariachi horns of Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire', the spelled-out heartbreak of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene', the growl of Chris Stapleton's 'Tennessee Whiskey'. Then modern hits borrow from 80s rock and Nashville pop, and the lines blur. Guess the country song from the Carter Family to Luke Combs, tell the outlaw era from the crossover, and see whether the storytelling deep cuts trip you up. Press play and find out.
