President Obama Includes Favorite Country Hits In Campaign Playlist.
Having honored country music recently at Country Music: In Performance at the White House, we already knew that President Obama was a fan of our favorite genre. But we didn’t know just how much of a fan! His team recently released his official campaign playlist for the 2012 election and it turns out country music hits round out 1/4 of the songs on the list! The hit-makers featured include Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry and Zac Brown Band! So, I guess CMNB has something in common with our President! We love all these country stars too! Check out the complete list below.
