I’ve learned that any European will go balls out for a rodeo. Me personally, I like picking and Americana. Also redneck engineering. Wont lie, sometimes im jamming on some folk or old time country music.
Forgive the title, trying not to confused or offend.
I think a lot of pre-1980s country is pretty good. When it did things like tell stories and wasn’t just formulaic crap about god and Jesus and America and your truck and your girlfriend in cutoff jeans.
There’s good new country.

And plenty of good old and new Texas country.
We need a distinct name for what you link, because of al the rightwing wifebeaters hijacking the country music name… NeoCountry? Vs Conservacountry??
