First of all, there are some very good country music stars that are very staunch Democrats like Toby Keith and Tim McGraw. Also, Brooks and Dunn are Democrats as well as the Dixie Chicks. Democrats like to look down on them as rednecks, but I think Dems could learn a thing or two. Maybe Democrats could learn to be a bit more country, embrace the second amendment, go hunting and enjoy true nature :P
In all honestly, I would like to get more liberals/Democrats involve in country and bluegrass music.

Thats a rather broad unfounded assessment , How many Dems constitute your test group? All the Dems i know have no problems with Country music..
Everyone. Country music is America's music. Bluegrass as well. Those are the only genre's of music truly native to America. And that genre is shared amongst both political parties, believe it or not.
Meh...most of what passes for "country" is just pop music with enough twang to put on the country charts. Dress the singer up in the proper western gear and you've got yourself a country super star
That stuff is hokie and boring as hell anyway. It's got a backbeat from another planet. And half the themes are laughable. Even when they try to be insurgent or rebellious, it comes off as corny.
I was in a restaurant not too long ago and they were playing nothing but country tunes, and some dumb song comes on about "I'll keep my God, guns and money, and you can keep the change."
Boy...that's original. Straight from the nearest bumper sticker although I'm sure some lame country fan thinks it's a hoot of a protest song.
I don't see music as conservative or liberal, but Republicans can have all the ownership of country they want. Be my guest.
I'm far kinder to bluegrass for obvious reasons...but that's another topic.
The era of Johnny, Willie, Merle and Patsy produced some of the greatest music ever. Pretty much any country music before or since sucked. Thank God (or the great nuttin' for atheists) we got 97.1 here in Houston.
If I could personally strangle Garth Brooks and Shania Twain I would.
George Strait and Reba kinda caught the tail end of that era and produce some pretty good stuff. Taylor Swift should be drawn and quartered.
Edited to add:
and her remains fed to pigs.
