It's making a comeback thanks to producer Dave Cobb and his work with artists like Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Miranda Lambert, Shooter Jenkins, etc.

all the outlaws died and all the jewish music producers moved in

hasn't there always been two camps? one what would not be considered "stadium" country and the darker side?

Their audience got younger and radio programmers started trying to appeal to that demographic with hat acts with slicker sounds and lyrics you didn't have to think to hard about. Now that iheartmedia and Big Machine are going under maybe Country radio can stop playing Pop and go back to playing real hick shit.
