Many black entertainers now identify somehow as western. Wearing cowboy hats and boots etc.
The country music industry has allowed these non traditional acts to infiltrate the country music genre for quite some time now.
IMO much of country music I hear nowadays is unlistenable.
“hick hop” is actually a thing.
I would have to agree with you since Waylon died. So wish he was still with us.
