Liv-Austen Don't regret a single one

It's
not been a bad year for country music in the UK. Thanks to The Shires and to a
lesser extent Ward Thomas, the genre is beginning to become more accepted. The
annual Country 2 Country music festival has also had a huge impact, proving
just how popular country music is across the UK. Radio 2 loves it as well,
loading its playlist regularly with artists that tick that box.
But
what is country music? It's a question that both interests and perplexes Liv
Austen, a London based singer who is hoping to take a ride on the back of this
new popularity. However country music covers such a broad area; from Willie
Nelson or Glenn Campbell to the likes of Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley.
Liv
Austen lands somewhere in between those two extremes and has been talking to
Music News about her love of country music and what inspires her to write.
Having grown up in Norway and lived for a time in Belgium, it's an interesting
journey to end up in London singing about how many she has kissed!
Not too shabby, eh?
We asked Liv to put together a playlist of her favourite songs, and she chose some absolute corkers. If you like country music, catchy choruses, and genuinely great songwriting, then you’re going to love this one :
