[[Christian country music]], sometimes referred to as country gospel music, is a subgenre of gospel music with a country flair, is also known as inspirational country. Christian country over the years has progressed into a mainstream country sound with inspirational or positive country lyrics. In the mid-1990s, Christian country hit its highest popularity. This popularity was such that mainstream artists like [[Larry Gatlin]], [[Charlie Daniels]] and [[Barbara Mandrell]], just to name a few, began recording music that had this positive Christian country flair. These mainstream artists have now become award winners in this genre.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Larry Gatlin nominated for Christian Country Album of the Year|url=http://www.tollbooth.org/new/news/99list.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091104100459/http://www.tollbooth.org/new/news/99list.html|archive-date=November 4, 2009|access-date=September 11, 2008|website=Tollbooth.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Barbara Mandrell inducted into the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame|url=http://www.countrygospelmusic.com/platinumheart.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150225093800/http://www.countrygospelmusic.com/platinumheart.htm|archive-date=February 25, 2015}}</ref>
