I've started tuning in to new songs by country artists, like Jason Aldean, Kip Moore, Easton Corbin, Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini, etc. A lot of it is really good, but it sounds too pop and not like the honky tonk country of my youth. The new songs even have the electronic reverb and other effects used in pop music.

Does anyone still make true COUNTRY music?

Country is now basically white R&B.

Jason Isbell is kind of a cross between real country, Americana, folk but he definitely qualifies IMO

All the people listed in the OP are fantastic.

Bro country is by FAR the best thing that ever happened to country music.

You're the flops on my feet
The top down on my jeep
You're the watermelon sticky-lip
Kiss on my cheek
You're the kick in the cup
Pretty girl, you know what's up
You a skinny little dip in the creek

You're the shades that hide the rays
You're even sweeter than my sweet nanny's lemonade
Yeah you're hotter than a tiki
Midnight sneaky
Out my back window, girl,
You comin' out to meet me, yeah
