Garth Brooks Killed it with his Rocklike concerts in the 90s...
IMHO
I wholeheartedly agree. For most of my life I was an avid country music fan. Then Garth Brooks, almost single-handedly, killed country music.
“Garth Brooks Killed it with his Rocklike concerts in the 90s...”
Yes he did. I have even heard RAP on a country stations masquerading as country music. The starched cowboy hats, the mannequins doing karaoke on stage. The spray on tan with sparkly things <- those are the guys....
Let me second that opinion. But I also think that the audience for country music has changed: it's less rural, and more suburban, and has grown-up with rock music. Today, with rock more or less dead, country has stepped into rock's shoes, so to speak.
I've been vindicated!
All these years, never could get in to the GB craze when it was really crazy.
Faron Young, Ferlin Huskey and George Jones for me!
Zac Brown is doing the same thing.
