I’ve been on a huge Cody Johnson kick lately. The dude is a throwback. He’s got some great country songs but I also like his covers Husbands and Wives, Red Dirt Road, and his acoustic cover of Either Way on YouTube is remarkable.

Country ? Thank god pop took over that genre
I'd rather listen to talk radio or bluegrass than rap or pop. I'd actually rather listen to the window rolled down than either.

Can't hate on that. Mostly everything is white noise to me

Brooks and Dunn need a new album. Maybe they can begin to save country music.

In a nutshell, Bo Burnham’s country song

Whiskey Myers is very good also. Reckoning and Stone are 2 of my favorites.

Glenn Campbell was a pioneer of the problem. He was all about the style, light on the substance.
No one sings about THEIR experience anymore. When Alan Jackson sang Chattahoochee, we bought into it because he grew up 10 minutes from the damn river and did every damn thing in his song. Hell take all the production around it out andjust look at the lyrics, it would seem like he was being asked for an interview what he and his friends did back home in their late teens and early 20s. It’s authentic. It’s real, and people who live near the Chattahoochee could relate to it. Not only that but people who spent their weekends and summers goofing off with friends at a river or a lake because they had shite else to do in their small towns felt connected to it as well.
There ain’t nothing authentically country about some sumbitch named Kane getting his arse lost for hours on end in his truck on 30 acres of his own damn property and having to call the police to bail his arse out... of land. Lost in the woods arse.
Those steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play.

What in the hell happened to Country Music?
It’s pretty simple. Country artists stopped living out the songs that they wrote. There is no authenticity left in the genre. When you heard a guy like Hank Jr singing about Jim Beam for example, you never questioned the authenticity of his lyrics. You knew damn well he was really out there raising hell and living that life. Today’s country sounds like a 3 minute ad placement full of tired cliches being sung by a frauds who aren’t truly living the lifestyle and image they are making millions portraying.

Whèn urbanites and suburbanites started writing songs the soul of country died.
The world is very superficial and materialism and things like love, simplicity, genuineness have gone away.
