If bluesy, downhome lyrics sound like your life’s story, then you probably love you some good ol’ country.
So, where are the best U.S. cities to live like you were dying?
Marking International Country Music Day this Sept. 17 — and the re-release of Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” with Kelly Clarkson just last week — LawnStarter ranked 2022’s Best Cities for Country Music Fans.
The company compared over 180 of the biggest cities based on eight key factors, such as the number of country music concerts, access to performance venues, and the affordability of concert tickets.
They also gauged local interest in the genre based on Google search data, the number of country music stations, and even the existence of country music museums.
Check out the 10 best country music scenes below.
