Start with needing an actual instrument to play the song.

This guy would show up with a computer and a microphone to perform this. That's karaoke.

Did you not hear the song? It has a banjo looped over the instrumental production!


You just answered your own question. Its a track of a banjo, not someone thats actually playing it. You hurt your own argument.

Who tf is Grady Smith? Is he an authority on country music or some bro with a youtube account?

My point is most new country is produced in a studio and has little, if any, live instruments being utilized unless a band is hired to support the act live.

Grady Smith actually is an authority. All it takes is a click to find out. He wrote for Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and Entertainment Weekly.

And you really know nothing about country music if you really believe your statement about no instruments being utilized in studio.

Lets go to Sam Hunt, who many say inst country and is more of a rap/R&B act.

Here is the list of musicians used in making his only album, Montevallo.

Josh Burkett – electric guitar
Tyrone Carreker – electric guitar, background vocals
Chad Cromwell – drums
Zach Crowell – programming, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, ganjo, piano, keyboards, background vocals
David Davidson – violin, viola
Mike Durham – electric guitar
Fred Eltringham – drums
Ian Fitchuk – piano, drums
Jerry Flowers – bass guitar, acoustic guitar, ganjo
Mickey Guyton – background vocals
Sam Hunt – lead vocals, acoustic guitar, ganjo, piano
Hillary Lindsey – background vocals
Shane McAnally – background vocals
Chris McHugh – drums
Rob McNelly – electric guitar
Devin Malone – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, pedal steel guitar, dobro
Josh Osborne – background vocals
Joshua Sales – drums
Scotty Sanders – pedal steel guitar
Jimmie Lee Sloas – bass guitar
Matt Stanfield – piano, keyboards, organ
Ilya Toshinsky – acoustic guitar, ganjo, mandolin


As you can see, even a act like Sam Hunt utilizes instruments that are instrumental to country music like the steel guitar and a mandolin.

Lil Naz X uses a trap beat and loops in prerecorded music for it. Thats not country music.

Here are the credits for Old Town Road


Lil Nas X – lead vocals
YoungKio – production
Trent Reznor – sampled production
Atticus Ross – sample production
Cinco – recording engineering
