My favorite of his:

My favorite of his

Cool. And always like a good mixed meter when it doesn’t sound counterintuitive.

In English, please, for the kids in the back...?

One two three four one two one two three four one two. In the chorus.

This gave me a serious chuckle: an acoustically accurate rendition of the single greatest music video/song in history.

Anybody else remember when country music was actually good and not complete garbage?

I know. Depressing. Here’s another good one of his from before he was a sellout

For me the good stuff stopped after Cash, Willie, Kris, Waylon, Merle, Hank Jr., Campbell, and very few others. The stuff playing in shopping centers is drivel.

Amen!

I like the Thunder Rolls and I don't care what you think of me.

That is an acceptable and valid viewpoint

Nearly posted that one earlier

I just listened to the original, and then this, back to back:

I think that's not entirely fair as there are loads of great country singers/bands that are keeping good music flowing. For example, Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Hal Ketchum, Clint Black, Alan Jackson, Rick Trevino, George Strait, Tyler Childers, Cory Morrow, Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, Charlie Robison, ad nauseum. As with many things, the problem is oversaturation of generic junk that is force-fed to the masses and hyped through constant advertisements and self-serving award ceremonies.

No complaints from me. Heck, I think Garth put out one of the best country songs of all time:

This one is quite the banger as well:

It's partly that I'm completely oblivious to new music (post 1990) of any genre. I listen to classic stations, and don't have a streaming service, so I'm way out of touch.

Also, get off my lawn.
