Sirius Radio has some excellent country music radio stations. I have reviewed them here in previous entries but it is time for a review and revisit. It is because of Sirius Radio that country music fans are able to hear the best from all genres and sub-genres.

Sirius 60 the Highway spins mostly newer country music. This is music that would appear on the top 40 country lists at the current time. So recent and current popular country hits appear on this Sirius radio station.

Sirius 61 is Sirius Prime Country. This station prides itself on having a 90′s and more programming format. There was a period of time in the 1990′s where there was a slew of more memorable tracks which made a ton of cash and dominated country music radio.

Sirius 62 is The Roadhouse. This Sirius country music station is drenched with history. Some of the great classic country music is spun on this endearing format loved by those in that generation and more. The Roadhouse has introduced many younger listeners to roots of popular country music.

Sirius 63 Outlaw Country is my personal favourite of the Sirius country music stations. Outlaw Country is the brainchild of Little Steven Van Zandt, who also founded Sirius 25 Little Steven’s Underground Garage. The OC as it is known to listeners for the most part plays great Americana music. I would define Americana music as country with the rebellious edge. The popularity of this type of country is growing so much that Americana Music has been given a category of its’ own at the Grammy Awards.

Finally I must give a nod to Sirius 62, Willie’s Place. Willie’s Place plays a nice mix of the early Outlaw Country type stuff plus other music that Willie Nelson himself approves and enjoys. Lots of cowboy stories abound and abundant!

Although I do not really consider bluegrass music to be country music, I acknowledge it is similar in many ways. With that in mind, check out Sirius 65 Bluegrass Junction. Bluegrass Junction plays a ton of stuff from pioneer Bill Munroe all the way to Bluegrass ambassador and mainstay Ricky Skaggs.
