“polished pop country crap” (lyric from “My Texas” by the Josh Abbott Band featuring Pat Green) Nashville is dead.

It’s garbage. Find yourself some Texas, Red Dirt, or Outlaw Country.

If it’s missing a fiddle, a steel guitar, a mandolin, or a banjo; it ain’t Country. (you need at least one of these in every song) Hell, even put a piano in there. It can’t just be guitars and drums. Edit: Throw in some harmonica as well.

My favorite is Cody Jinks, but there are many others.

I happened to be waiting in a place yesterday playing that modern country. It is all about good-timing. It has no soul or character AT ALL.
