Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson, and Aaron Lewis are trying to get country back on course View Quote Yup. True country fans are eating that shit up. I remember watching the cma awards in 2014 when luke Bryant was singing "drink a beer." Stapleton was singing backup and my wife and I were blown away by his voice. We looked him up and have been following him since. Meanwhile all the pop fans are listening to bro country for the first time and now love "country music" because it is so catchy and they can dance to the beat. I just wish there were more Stapletons around, that guy is damn good. |

This shit stinks. It's so over produced that I don't know if I'm listening to Lady Gaga or her equivalent with a big hat. The guys either try to rap or just badly sing the worst clichés ever with a twang in their voice but music that isn't even remotely 'country'. Sometimes a little steel guitar. View Quote They've been repackaging pop and other music with a twang since at least the 90's. I'm not saying there isn't good contemporary country, but there is certainly a lot of it that blows. |

Country music comes from Texas. You'd be wrong. Bob Wills is still the king. He was from texas, and so was waylon jennings. Waylon was good friends with my grandparents. And he is from a town 30ish miles away from where I grew up. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Nicer than Willy probably because he never was as stoned as Willy. Although Willy is also a trip to talk to just don't let him pass the joint to you. He used to own a horse ranch just about 30 miles north of where I live, still has WN on the front gate. People use to take their old near-dead nags over and tie them to his fence after he campaigned to stop the slaughter of horses in the US. Wasn't much else you could do with them, so why not let Willie have them? It's a nice place, changed hands a few times over the last few years. Not opulent at all, very pedestrian and probably not even something my snobby mother would live in. |

I deleted all the preset country stations from my radios because most of what's on there now is crap. I still like the old stuff up to about the early 90's but it's pretty hard to find a station outside of sat radio that plays it. Even the AM stations around me have changed formats to the new country.

A lot of modern country is rebranded pop. It's pretty terrible.

I really liked country music up through the mid to late 1990s. But that's where things started to go downhill, fast. You can basically date the death of country music to the time in which singers like Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw and Shania Twain started to dominate the scene. Then look at all the shit that followed those folks.

Do a little research and look into who is producing and co-writing a lot of today's "new" country. Then, you will understand why it sounds like it does. |

Tried listening to a modern country station today. It was fucking painful.

Thanks! |

I've got a few 'thumbs up' country songs on my pandora station, it's just a big mix of all kinds of stuff from 60's rock to Adele, but for some reason I've 'thumbs down-ed EVERY SINGLE ONE of his songs they play, and they keep giving me more. Now I'm down to BS live versions of unknown songs that still sound like a cat trying to yodel in a dumpster, and I STILL THUMBS DOWN them. For crying out loud, pandora.... Give me a break! |

It's interchangeable with rap when heard from a distance. Same thumpty beat, autotune, etc. And, what about all the non-verbal shit like, woo ee wo we woo ww, and so on.
Terrible and childish non-music. Frequently enjoyed by the slack-jawed, flat brim, and Oakley wearing pukes that cruise my area. |
