You can’t just sing a pop song with a southern accent and call it a country song. A great many in the industry now are poseurs. They aren’t country. Real country tells woke to pound sand.

Left wing country phony Garth Brooks was one of the first. It's all corrupted. A friend of mine worked as session guitarist in Nashville doing rock/country/Christian. He told me (shockingly) the rottenest was the Christian industry, followed by country, and then rock.

Speak out anyway. Access your audience through alternative media. Screw the music industry.

>>I’m not sure I believe that we are the majority anymore, if we ever were.

That’s what the domination media perps want you to believe.

They didn’t want to accept that more Americans voted to re-elect Donald Trump as president than ANY sitting president in history. AFTER he’d been run through a bogus impeachment and had to endure daily partisan smears and corporate funded riots from coast to coast.

It’s what the industry pushes.

Didn’t producer Sam Phillips (Sun Records) encourage Johnny Cash to bring in something with more grit and edge?

At a point the artists get caught up to living the lie/lifestyle.

Country music is not country any more, the only kind of country music that still actually “sounds” country, is bluegrass. As far as I can tell, the communists and queers haven’t taken it over...yet.

Don't know for sure, but I'd venture to guess that "real" country musicians would lean conservative.

Most of the pop garbage passed off as "country" on the radio is no more "country" than Barry Manilow or Tupac.

The woman has a great voice.

Well and truly said. Today much of what’s billed as “country” ain’t!

That’s exactly why I’ve always enjoyed Bluegrass, but for the most part never cared much for Country!

That certainly is apparent to me and most of my family and friends. It would be interesting to read a FR thread on how and why posters generally feel that that’s true.

People would just rather listen to old stuff than the new stuff.

Look what happens whenever some new Beatles compilation hits iTunes, they always go straight to number 1.
