It seems like the interesting parts of country music got kicked out by gate-keeping corporate assholes. Americana seems to have collected a lot of the exiles, i.e. Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Jason Isbell, Allison Russell, Gillian Welch, Maren Morris, etc.
I guess Chris Stapleton hasn't been kicked out of country yet, and he's pretty good. I thought "White Horse" was an absolute jam.
I'm generally not a country music fan, although I love any well composed and performed music, regardless of genre. Chris Stapleton is as good as a musician gets. He's a first rate composer, and an excellent singer/ guitarist/performer.
The fact that he exists, puts every one of the rest of those lightweight State Fair acts to shame. I would be ashamed to put out so much of that insipid nonsense, knowing it's going up against masterful work like Stapleton's. He's easily the best thing happening in Country Music these days.
