Anything but talent which is what used to count for success, and record sales. Now the sine qua non is being insulted by the clowns on social media and of course--the race card. What a joke of a society we have become.

He’s right! Just like country pop is basically pop music with a slight ‘twang’ in it. Mind you that country music in general isn’t my favorite kind of music to listen to but I do recognize that this genre is pretty nonexistent in its original format now and days

Bad music with a fiddle. Not rock.

C-ountry Rap. Crap.

“Just bad rock and roll with fiddles”

Better than 70s country music, which appears to have consisted of different artists all moaning at great length about how they lost their spouse, their vehicle and their canine. On the few occasions they weren’t doing that, they were moaning about how they were getting blind drunk in bars then driving home. :P

Country music does not even have a fiddle anymore.
These 2 guys from England perform some good country music from the past. Instrumentals.
