daily reminder Merel and Waylon are the best country singers ever (their pre 1990s catalog)
Jerry Reed (non instrumentals) and David Allan Coe a close 3 an 4
you can shuffle their catalogs and probably never skip a song
Willie has a few good songs but way too many wack ones and also his renditions of songs those others did pale in comparison
and dont get me started with Johnny Cash, first off 99% of his most popular songs are bastardized by commercialism and the rest are not even recorded in studio so you have to listen to the stupid whistling and shouting from the prison shows that the recording is from

Welcome to Stage 3 of upper middle class country music appreciation! Here's a recap of where you've come from:
>Stage 1
aka the "everything except country and rap" stage. You're clearly convinced all country is just white trash shit.
>Stage 2
The "Cash, Willie, I could go on..." stage. Some music authority convinced you a very slim subset of country music is okay to like, undoubtedly 70s or earlier. You eagerly resent Stage 1ers and talk down to them.
>Stage 3
This is where the classic upper middle class elitism seeps in. You're now comfortable enough in the genre to throw your opinion around, so of fucking you're going to. How pitiful it is to watch the lesser Stagers, those unenlightened insects. Not to mention the white trash who gave been duped into thinking whatever garbage on the radio can even be considered "country." What a sad time we live in.
Will our hero make it further down the rabbit hole? What are the next stages? Has he even listened to a George Strait album all the way through? Only time will tell.
