If Waylon were still with us he’d kick the ass of nearly everyone in Nashville
"You're saying country musicians didn't always support wars of imperialism? Huh?"
“Come on Willy let’s ride”
Rural noun, simple adjective
Warm night, cold beer, blue jeans, red pick-up
No shirt, no shoes, ~~no jews~~ you didn't hear that
I walk and talk like a field hand But the boots I’m wearing cost three grand
Both of these types existed in the past and still exist today.
Pat Finnerty on YouTube does a great series called What Makes This Song Stink. It's definitely not for everyone, as he doesn't give a shit about YouTube algorithms and keeping videos to an ideal length. But has a recent hour long video on Jason Aldean's Try That in a Small Town. The video (Pat Finnerty's not Jason Aldean's) is phenomenal.
Another video you (and @FunderPants@lemmy.ca, @Grayox@lemmy.ml, @Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world) might enjoy is Chill Goblin's take on "Oliver Anthony, Welfare, and Blair Mountain". Oliver Anthony is the artist who did "Rich Men North of Richmond" and it's a really great breakdown with historical contexts from the mining union wars to the Reagan Era of "Welfare Queens".
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out later today.
Todd in the Shadows also did a great breakdown of this song
Thank you for the recommendations, I'll give it a listen.

This video is great, thanks for sharing, subscribed.
Honestly, they're worth going back and watching all of them from episode 1. He's got a lot of jokes that he builds up across episodes.
He hooked me so hard by showing how Ohio would sound over it, I wanted to laugh but I was also flabbergasted and so just noise and head shaking and disbelief is what I mustered.
But yea, I'll go back and watch the old ones. Thanks.
I like Billy Strings, he's the exception, phenomenal guitar work with some true outlaw country lyrics.
I'm convinced that if someone wrote a classic country banger, like a certified banger. Country "fans" would hate it and everyone else would love it.
I mean they seemed to like Toby Keith, he's even done a song with Willie Nelson about bounty hunting.
Bones are their money…
Goodnight Travis County, there will be no encore. Woo!
Tennesse ernie ford anyone?
Marty robbins?
Get me the classic good shit
I despise modern country music and generally consider outlaw country and anything not Nashville Establishment to be the real shit.
