"Gone Country" by Alan Jackson-warning not anthem

One of my favorite artists and one of his catchiest songs, but the last few times I've gone to Nashville I can't help but think that he saw what was coming and didn't like it

By he do you mean the songwriter?

It was happening when he wrote the song too, which is why he wrote the song. Country Music absolutely exploded in the early '90s and attracted all sorts.

90s country is the GOAT
The primes of
King George
Clint Black
Alan Jackson
Garth
Clay Walker
Tracy Lawrence
Tracy Byrd
Alabama
Diamond Rio
Shania
Toby Keith
Brooks & Dunn
And plenty more

Where do you go in Nashville and what do you do there?
I've been going pretty regularly since the late 80s, it's definitely not the same cool place as it once was. The big money ruined it.
There is one dive old fashioned songwriter's bar left that hasn't changed much, except it has changed locations a couple of times. It's a good place to hang, and you never know who you might meet.

You know, back in the 80s and 90s, hell even a bit earlier guys like TVZ, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff, Ramblin' Jack, Rodney Crowell, and John Prine were bemoaning the state of "modern country music".

Your list is great, I wonder though, why Dwight Yoakam is often overlooked.

Western Swing was anathema to purists in the 1940s. Ditto when Chet Atkins introduced the Nashville Sound of full orchestra arrangements in the sixties.
I will say a lot of the modern stuff sounds more like pop/R&B than country, but people seem to like it

Alabama’s prime was definitely not the 90s.
You could argue Strait as well, but I’ll concede that his peak was probably mid 80s to mid 90s.
I recently got back into country from that era. I listened to country because of my dad mostly (and radio) but stopped caring about it after Garth (I loved GB), and didn’t really care for some of the 90s country artists like Jackson or Lawrence. But I’ve sort of gotten into (and back into) that era in recent years and now I love it. Ans a lot of the 80s country feels specifically tied to my youth, so the nostalgia hits pretty hard for me.

Modern country music is pretty much the only genre of music that is completely unlistenable

Gone Country? No, this is more like it,

Depends on who you ask. Modern mumble rap is infinity more unlistenable than modern country

He had one of the clearest, cleanest voices I've ever heard.

Have you ever listened to the lyrics. Gone Country is about people thinking turning country and faking it will save their careers.

He was the first country artist to appear on MTV.
