When reflecting on all things American this 4th of July, I think of apple pie, representative democracy, Elvis, reality television, stuff like that. Of all the things I associate with this land of ours, few things strike me as uniquely American as country music, and whether you love it or loathe it, I bet you know a thing or two about it.

Some of the best musical artists we Americans get to claim came out of this genre, including Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and Dolly Parton. So in honor of this grand country and some of music's greats, I challenge you to test your knowledge about country music!

I went to see Walk the Line with my friend when she was eight months pregnant. Every time Joaquin Phoenix sang one of Johnny Cash's songs, her baby kicked up a storm and got us giggling. Had I known about Hushabye Baby Music, I would have known what to get her once the child was born. Hushabye Baby has lightened up the tunes of some of country music's biggest stars, transforming their biggest hits into soft lullabies that are sure to help lil ones doze off to sleep. Each CD comes with adorable images of the animals on Hushabye Farm, as well as a baby food recipe. The collection includes CDs of songs by Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, George Straight, Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton and more.
