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).
