>it went bad
just throw it in the toilet where it always should have been.

Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell are going around winning Grammies and shit and you think country is fucked. Have some more awareness.

That is literally just twangy pop
Take the most generic early 2000s pop song, replace all the electronic and modern instruments that make it catchy and give the souless singer a shitty cheap acoustic guitar, and their you have it.
Maybe add some lyrics about beer, tractors, women, beaches or dirt roads and love and you've got yourself a top 10 country song.

we have to go back to real country, and real blues, which are very closely related.

Something broke in country in the 90s. There were pop country artists that brought in other elements, but it seems like the generation of country that came next was ... less well composed of its individual parts, so much that the only thing that shines through is the poppi-ness of it.

always going to be difficult for country to produce anything of substance as long as its primary audience is people who think art/high culture is for faggots. the bread and butter of art is overly sensitive loser geniuses trying to one up each other by continually pilfering ideas from outside genres. scare them away and everything turns to shit.

Country is just pop now, sure there are good country band's, artists. They're just considered alternative country now.

Hank Williams II killed country in the 70s
