What’s the deal with country music at the moment?

The deal with country music is that it’s the blue collar’s musical assistant. It’s in its early 100s, is unmarried and currently resides in southern American states. Thanks for writing!

Country music is fucking great, so I would imagine that’s why. The current major label mainstream stuff is largely shite, but that could be said of almost any genre. In particular, anyone with even a passing interest in Scottish/Irish folk music would definitely find a lot to like in country.

There was a popular queer country music movement which was known as “the yeehaw agenda” in the mid 2010s, and it’s trickled up into the mainstream.

He is all about Tyler Childers now - is learning all the songs on guitar and everything :star_struck:

They’re tiny and new but might appeal!

I really like Hayden Pedigo at the moment - it’s instrumental stuff so might be fun for him to try and learn :smiley:

Putting an occasional bar of 2/4 into a soft rock song about your how your truck is a republican and singing in a Southern US accent == Country

A specific strain is, yes. But that’s the same of any genre.
