    Country music. I thought it was all Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw, pop garbage. I’ve recently got into classic style honky tonk shit. I’m seeing Charley Crockett next week. I also like a band called The Reeves Brothers.

      Not a country fan, but we’ve been listening to a lot of old stuff, Bakersfield Beat on Sirius, Texas country, and alt. I like Hayes Carll. My son digs Charley Crockett. I haven’t listened to it yet. How do you feel about Orville Peck? I initially thought it was goofy but now can’t get Daytona sand out if my head.

      Same! I came from an urban Latino environment. Country sounded like vomit to me. Then, I met some country dude with roots in Appalachia. He introduced me to authentic country music. That shit hits hard.

      If anyone is looking to give country a try, my favorite artists are as follows:

      • The Steeldrivers/Chris Stapleton
      • The Dead South
      • Alan Jackson (kind of bro-country sound, but great lyrics)
      • The Avett Brothers

        Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton, and Jamey Johnson are a few of the mainstream country artists that I still like.
