I only know one or two people in Connecticut that like and listen to country music. There's only ONE country music station in the entire state (92.5) and I don't know anyone who listens to it. Country music just doesn't match with CT people. CT is the antithesis of anything country, redneck, conservative or southern. It's the deep north.
I certainly agree. We can only hope it stays that way.
But, back to the subject. Alabama, home of Hank Williams Sr.
Anything west of Passaic County, New Jersey. Everything east of King County, Washington.
I'd say pretty much the entirety of Washington State is big into country music, too. I was out in Olympic National Park (extreme Western Washington) last summer, and I saw more redneck, pickup-driving, country-music-blaring, drive-a-tractor-on-the-highway-type people out there than I ever have in Minnesota.

Suburban and rural Oregon is full of country music fans too--there was a huge billboard in downtown Portland for months advertising tickets on sale for country music festival an hour south of Portland that was 9 months away. There's big rodeos just 45 minutes south of Portland also.
I'd say most of the rural west and many of the suburbs are full of country music fans. Even in Canada, when I lived in Alberta--that's totally country music territory too.
To me, it seems like Country and Bluegrass originated in the Upper South. States like Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina. However, as time went by, it spread out west or to the Deep South. States along the lines of Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, etc.
Country music cities with the exception of Nashville is a little tough. Bristol, TN/VA comes to mind, though. Definitely Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Dallas/Ft. Worth, too.

What about St. Louis and Louisville?
Once in a bar in London, Ontario, someone told me that Ottawa has a thriving alt country scene. I find that hard to believe? Can anyone confirm or deny?
