It's all just a different flavor of the same mass produced slop fed to the masses, all who think their version of slop is so much more enriching and real than anyone elses. George Strait appeals to those who think they aren't going to to change for no one, and they honestly believe George lives on a farm and hasn't snorted coke. They all find a niche and exploit the out of it. Then you have a horde of followers trying to cash in as well, none of them ever set foot on a tractor IRL and never wanted to. You take people like Tracy Lawrence, for example. He owns hundreds of acres in Tennessee, has a helicopter he flies around his property and high end cars he has shipped overseas so he can drive them on the autobahn. He sings like he lives in an apartment and works for a living.
The only real ones are the real cowboys (not many of them IRL), the real gangstas who put out a CD, the real drinkers (George Jones, Cash, Hank Sr) and that's just about it. The rest are just people dressing up for work.
Everything evolves and changes.....I bet if yall asked your parents, what you liked to listen to 15-20yrs ago they will say is trash. What your kids listen to now you will say is trash. Your grandkids will listen to music that your kids will say is trash. Anything new will probably not appeal to the older generations.
You must never go to Cowboys or Midnight Rodeo. There are black dudes that go to those places that can dance. Eff the two step, those dudes know what they are doing. They dress the part too.
Not the biggest fan. But I'll listen to dudes like Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley.
back when they destroyed their livers with the best of them...
