re: Beyoncé’s album is NOT country music.

There's some good country out there, but they sort of live on the edges of the Nashville machine. There are guys like Charles Wesley Godwin, Wyatt Flores, Gabe Lee and others that sound more like country than the bro shite that has infected mainstream country.

The guys from out West though are somewhat shutout of the Nashville machine. If you watch Yellowstone, Costner and Sheridan really went out of their way to expose the Western part even going so far as casting Ryan Binghamton as a regular. There's some good stuff.
