Are any of the stars of country music Jewish?

Ray Benson is the only one that comes to mind. There must be others, but probably not many.

Richard S. “Kinky” Friedman is an American Texas Country singer, songwriter, novelist, humorist, politician and former columnist for Texas Monthly who styles himself in the mold of popular American satirists Will Rogers and Mark Twain. He was born in Chicago to Jewish parents, Dr. S. Thomas Friedman and his wife Minnie (Samet) Friedman

I met him in Dallas back in my a agency days, and saw him at a book signing last year. Quite a dude

Jaron Lowenstein from Jaron and the Long Road to Love is Jewish. I am not sure that I would really call him a “star” of country, but he did have at least one top country hit.

Asleep at the Wheel.

“Bronco” Billy Ben-Gurion!

Kinky Friedman.

Very few. Jewish feet are not designed to wear cowboy boots.

Hey @gailcalled, my feet were… once upon a time.

Sacha Baron Cohen.
I think he did a country song as the character Borat once. It was quite liked by the local audience.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room: Were what? Jewish, shod in cowboy boots? (If so, I bet you got Jewish bunions.)

@gailcalled, Yamulke-Ki-Yay!!!

^^^ My laugh-of-the-day. Did you drive a pick-up truck, shoot and eat squirrels, have 3 dopey coon dogs, chew tobacco and drink beers and bumps at one time also?

My husband, who I think we can count Jewish for this question (he is Jewish, but was raised Catholic, but his dad was raised Jewish) anyway, when we moved to the south and had a pick-up truck he would play country music sometimes. I thought it was hysterical. It was like he had the whole scene set.

@callgailed, LOL again. None of those, but I loved barbecue brie.

The Oak Ridge Oys. I’m pretty sure the whole band is Jewish…
