County music question

Are you asking if people can possibly like Kenny Chesney and Charley Crockett at the same time?

Do you like journey and led zepplin? Kenny G and Dave Brubeck? Black Eyed Peas and Outkast?

Unfathomable.

Yes that’s the question

Well clearly it’s possible to like both popular and independent artists. Many people do.

Charley Crockett is one of my favorite artists. But I keep a playlist of pop country as well. It’s not my favorite but it has its place.

I can’t always listen to Mike and the moonpies, turnpike, Crockett, and bluegrass sturgill. But I like a huge variety of music. Don’t hate certain artists or bands just because they’re popular. Keep and open mind and like what you like.

You don’t think it’s horribly mind numbing when you hear lyrics about Cold beer in the console and fried chicken?

this is a stupid novelty song that i've never liked, but i would hardly consider 90s Kenny Chesney to be considered the archetypal "bro country", especially considering what the the late 00s, 2010s, and 2020s have produced and continue to produce. the album that song is on (everywhere we go) is decent enough for 90s country fans (of which i am one).

maybe it's just because the name of the song is so damn annoying and memorable. really a dumb misstep for Chesney, in my opinion.

Ummm... How about you like what you like and not worry about the category it falls into?? I can go from listening to Whiskey Myers to listening to Dre and 2pac. If it's good to you then it's good.

I like a lot of different varieties, everything from Glen Campbell to Charley Pride to Sturgill to early Taylor Swift and Blake Shelton, etc.

The mainstream country of 2009-13 is what was on the radio when I first started driving, in high school, etc so I have a nostalgic connection to it, not really into much after that though, other than some random songs here and there.

To me, it’s not possible. One you hear the real stuff, you can’t go back. Artists like Sturgill, Tyler, Cody Jenks, Whitey Morgan, and Billy Strings are the true musical descendants of Merle, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Hank, Bill Monroe, George Jones, and etc. They are the true bearers of the tradition of country music that branched out of the Carter Family, and Jimmy Rodgers.

The stuff Nashville puts out on the mainstream is a cheap knockoff that they attempt to pass as country to the ignorant. It’s garbage, and should be forgotten.

It depends on what you’re level of gay is
