 UNFAIR!!!!!!!! November 7, 2004

I cannot give a real review about this magazine as I cannot receive it as it is only shipped within the US. Surely there is a way around this. People in the UK want to read this magazine too!
 Country Weekly July 12, 2002

I have subscribed to other country music magazines before and have never been as satisfied as I am with Country Weekly. The articles are written for easy, believable reading and feature the favorites, the oldies and the up-and-coming artists.....and written with "good taste". Saying I read it from "cover to cover" is appropriate. Each issue is read very quickly. My husband and mother-in-law have become avid readers since I bought my first issue. Thank you for the opportunity to share my opinion.
 Typical Pop Country Fluff February 21, 2006

Are you wondering how Kenny's doing since Renee left him? What's Tim and Faith's favorite place to eat? These and a multitude of other fluffy and light questions are answered by "Country Weekly." Like another reviewer stated, this is the "People" of Country Music. However, if you're looking for a story about actual music, you'll be hard pressed to find it in here. Much like "Us" and "People," "Country Weekly" is essentially a vehicle used to promote the "artist" of the week and not much of anything else. In a recent issue, the question of whether or not Sugarland will continue as a duo with the departure of Kristen Hall arose. Instead of attempting to answer that question, the fluffster pushed their point across that they wanted the shapely and lovely Jennifer Nettles to head out on her own and ditch the dude.
This isn't hardcore writing. Heck, you could make the argument that this isn't even Country Music writing. I like learning about artists' personal lives as much as the next person, but "Country Weekly" just goes about its business of telling you the reader how hopeless you are and how much better Keith Urban is than you.
Before folks jump on me, please know that I don't fault ALL of the artists featured in these pages. The good ones fall victim to the papparazzi as often as the bad ones. The sad thing is that the bad ones get the most exposure. Within just three pages of the magazine, I encountered three photos of Tim McGraw, two of Kenny Chesney, two of Faith Hill and NONE of real Country performers. Brad Paisley got one nod on one page, and George Strait somehow managed to squeeze out an actual photo and a caricature.
So, if you're a lover of pop country and its stars such as McGraw, the Dixie Chicks, and Shania, you'll be in heaven with this magazine. If you enjoy artists such as Strait, Alan Jackson, and legends such as George Jones or Hank, Sr., prepare yourself to get nothing but the typical lip-service of today's modern poser country stars.
Only recommended for occasionally good articles and a couple of nice looks at retrospective albums. Other than that, you can read "People" and get just as much information on actual Country Music as you would find in "Country Weekly."
country weely makes me up to date about music and singers January 11, 2002

I'm from Brazil, it's hard to find in ours newspaper and magazines something about country music. We used to see CMT Brazil , but they changed the subject and it's now just like a MTV , a bad one. I'm fanatic about Mrs. Emmylou Harrys and Country Songs also. I've about 500 CDs from Country Music, I knew the news in the Country weekly magazine but it cames to Brazil with 2 months late, and failled some issues. So I'm on the road again looking for Copuntry Music.

As a country music DJ, I have to be up on the latest in the field. Country Weekly provides me with just "the good stuff," allowing me to tell my fans the most accurate information about what's going on in the country music world. I highly recommend it!
