yeah, I listen to country once in awhile, but most of the songs seem to be about promoting alcoholism and the consequences of wearing beer googles. LOL.
There is on offensive song whereby a country girls marries an oil man, who later beats her, who she later kills. Must be some feminist that wrote it, because I can’t help but not feel sorry for some dame that married purely for money, without considering the character of the person whom she married.
Illicit love affairs. parties and drinking have from Jimmie Rodgers always been staples of country music. It’s just that from the earliest country through the ‘50s, country had a lot more western, blues and swing tinge to it.
Even Garth Brooks in the ‘90s would do Night Rider’s Lament with a yodel.
