...epitomized by the controversial track "Try That In A Small Town," which surged to the top of mainstream charts as critics argued it promotes violence.
"Don't come here and try to burn our shit down." REEEEE, calls to violence!
Morris...released two new tracks...both of which address her fraught relationship with Nashville since she became outspoken about the lack of diversity and inclusivity in the genre.
Oh, do fuck right off.
Morris' outspoken support for gender-affirming healthcare and addressing the lack of LGBTQ+ representation in country...
Darrius Rucker was/is pretty popular too. And while kind of niche, Cowboy Troy at least had a respectable following.
It is a lot like Black people in Metal. Its not that they are actively discriminated against, and they will even be popular. It is just that, due to the demographics of where it is popular, they are typically outnumbered by White people.
Exactly. People don’t understand this. Same goes for hobbies that appeal to more men than women or vice versa. I like Rucker and Chicken with the Train wasn’t bad. There was a black lady who sang country I liked until after the Floyd riots all of a sudden she couldn’t shut up about race when she never mentioned it before so I stopped listening to her. But like you said mostly whites listen to country and that is fine. I love old country and blues and it’s interesting to see how each influenced each other
Yup. Frozen Crown comes to mind, which had a black and female guitarist. She wasn't lynched or otherwise driven from the metal scene. She must have just slipped through the cracks, I suppose, because obviously metal must be really racist and icky, right? I looked it up, she went on to join Angus McSix, too.
Nobody in the industry makes that style of country anymore. I'd say it should make a comeback, but Nashville's certainly captured and won't try to sell anything that doesn't abuse the senses.
That guy who went viral because of "Rich Man North of Richmond" is a throwback. I think Sturgill Simpson, though a bit weird lyrically, has that old-time country feel. Dwight Yoakam was a really good traditional Country-Western guy in the Buck Owens/Bakersfield groove. but I don't think he's performing or recording anymore.
I hope more will understand that the "Richmond" guy is good, not only for his working-man lyrics, but for his old-timey sound. His dobro playing is OK (good enough for folk music).

Ugh, these people are absolutely insufferable.
How many rap songs are about violence? How much violence has been cultivated by the culture rap creates?
Yet one country song about small towns defending themselves against that kind of shit is the one that gets branded violent.
Country music is not the genre killing blacks.
Acknowledging this would require them to have principles or actual standards.
Even high double digits.
But "Kill the Boer" is just a song, bro
Country had diversity ....

And he had legit respect in the industry because he had an honest love for the music. Great song

My fave is "Louisiana Man." Of course "Kiss an Angel Good Morning," his biggest hit, is great as well.
Diversity, shmeversity. If it's good, it's good.
His live version of Kaw-Liga is amazingly good.
Your speech is violence, their violence is speech.
