When I first heard it I thought the same thing, it hit the nail on the head.
Country music has changed from what it was in its Grand Ole Opry heyday. Seems it transitioned to a country/pop mix in the late 80’s and devolved from there to its current form.
I grew up with old style country. Still my father’s favorite but I prefer other styles now. My dad was in charge of the music. We listed to George Jones, Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Sr, Hank Snow, Faron Young and bunch of others I have forgotten over time.
