Sigh... Country used to be pretty good. Now that Nashville has discovered algorithms, they just churn out formulaic shit that sounds exactly alike.
Saw a 5-minute video a couple of years back. I think it was 5 of the (then) current country songs, blended one into the other. You could not tell where one cut off and the next picked up. Sounded like 5 singer collaborating on a single song.
Had my details a bit off, but here it go:

It's still good if you know where to look, and the country hot list ain't it. Tyler Childers, The Steeldrivers, Colter Wall and Chris Stapleton are some of the best, just to name a few.
Did they discover algorithms in the 1990s? 'Cause it was shit then, too.
