I love old time Country Music and Bluegrass but I never liked the new country music and I've despised every one of Garth Brooks' songs that I've heard. Country Music isn't Country Music anymore. It's become what we used to call soft rock. One of the very few newer country songs I like is "Murder on Music Row" which is a song about how Country Music was murdered by this new corporate pop-country crap. It was written and performed by Larry Cordle & Lonesome Standard Time a Bluegrass band. George Strait and Alan Jackson did a cover that's ok.

There was always something inauthentic about Garth Brooks and his music.
My wife and I have always said, he was either the nicest guy in the world, or the biggest phony that ever lived. I’ve always suspected the latter.
Well he certainly is a faithful friend, he gave a piece of his liver to be transplanted into his friend who was dying of liver disease. (Chris LaDeau)
Gave a piece of A liver...now makes more sense if he is part of the cult.
Inauthentic. Chris Gaines?
Always been a fake country pos!
True. You knew who the singer was just as if you talk with them. They all had their own sound. You rarely had to ask who the singer was.

Exactly so, Dogsoldier. I have been saying that for years
