Many of your favorite country music artists can be found around the web. Some allow their fans to listen to their music for free, right on their websites. Some have fan clubs and offer free newsletters, others have killer videos and exclusive photos. I think a country music artist’s website should accurately express who they are and what their music represents.

I noticed quite a few trends among many of the sites I reviewed. They all have something in common – representing straight up country music. But, that shouldn’t mean they should all look the same. They certainly don’t all sound the same.

A few of those trends included:

1. Rugged and Worn Images and Photograph Edges
2. Retro/Vintage Styled Graphics
3. Heavy Use of Slow Loading Flash Graphics
4. Confusing and Difficult to Navigate

What makes a website design successful? There are many different elements that need to be considered. Font treatment, colors, usability and ease of navigation, etc. But most importantly, the site should be unique to it’s owner. It shouldn’t look like any other artist’s website. It should be just as artistic as the artist’s music.

After reviewing over 100 country music artist websites, here are the top 18 designed websites from your favorite country stars.
