Modern country songs are so similar that mashups of five or six songs sound like only one song. Something new will come along eventually. Whenever music becomes bland and formulaic, real musicians rebel and start something new. Perhaps musicianship will return.

There's some decent new modern country out there. Though generally speaking, modern country is mostly what we would have called pop/rock a few decades ago.

Some of my favorite new country songs:

Parker McCollum - Handle On You
Zach Bryan - Something In The Orange
Bailey Zimmerman - Rock And A Hard Place
MacKenzie Carpenter - Huntin' Season
Jelly Roll - Son Of A Sinner

Lot of other up and comers in country music such as Lainey Wilson, Hardy, Morgan Wallen, Ingrid Andress, to name a few.

Garth Brooks now relegated to the "oldies" country channels - thank you very much!

“Modern country songs are so similar that mashups of five or six songs sound like only one song.”

Yes, and most have a whiny, broken-heart, pleading, soft-pitched voice that sounds just like what you heard previously and will sound just like the one coming afterwards. I am referring to the male singers, all wearing a cap with bluejeans and a scraggly beard.

I always wanted to go see the Grand Ole Opry. I am so glad it is now on TV to save me the expense. Odds are, I would only see the squirrels who populate the show.
