[Leaning Right]

> All the good music has already been made. <

I get not one but two county music TV channels with my over-the-air antenna. All they play is modern county. It’s all mush.

There is nothing wrong with a modern country band covering a classic country song. So I sit there and scream at the TV set. “Play something classic! Play something made famous Johnny Cash or Loretta Lynn!” But they don’t listen.

I’m driving down a red dirt road in my daddy’s pickup truck. Got my girl beside me in cutoff jeans and an ice cold can in my hand. We’re gonna hit the lake and dance in the bed of the truck, watch the fireworks and make some of our own.

It doesn’t rhyme, but it has all the bro country tropes. Gimme my CMA.

Here you go, maybe this'll help out a bunch. There's plenty of good country artists nowadays, you just gotta look a little bit outside of Nashville. Zane Williams, Jamey Johnson, Buddy Brown, Corb Lund, Brothers Osbourne, Granger Smith, even Trace Adkins is older but he's still putting out new stuff. Kevin Fowler as well. To just name a few.
