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.
