In 1963, Buck Owens topped the country charts with "Act Naturally," which opened with the prophetic line "They're gonna put me in the movies." But decades before that tune was a hit, country stars were already trading the concert stage for the sound stage.

Country music is filled with songs proclaiming love and devotion to the United States, but for many artists, their patriotism runs much deeper.
