re: The Current State of Country Music

get spotify premium and look around..plenty of "good" country out there...its just the fact that music row has lost itself...the Larry Cordele song that Alan Jackson and George Strait cut about 17 years ago could not have been more true..."murder" was committed on music row...it became all about CMT and $$...and skinny jeans and flat bill hats and such.

to your comment about Sturgill and Isbell...neither one claim to be country...they just make music...and its really good music

as far as current country that doesn't suck and is still "mainstream"...give Miranda Lambert's new one a listen...I was skeptical myself, but its pretty good...she isn't buying in...doesn't have to

Cole Swindell and FGL and Luke Bryan all need to get hit by a bus...but saying that there isn't any "good" country and that Isbell and Simpson are country and they are worse than the bro country guys...is just false and you know it...but nice troll attempt...you got a long thread if that's what you were shooting for.
