The 4Q song Morgan Wallen

The main problem with today's music is that it is just simply over produced. The fake high hat sounds and bass lines in modern rap is the same stuff we've been hearing in modern country, which makes it not country, it some kind of pop/rap/country thingy. Real original lyrics too....dirt roads (they couldn't find a dirt road if their life depended on it), moon shine, pick-up trucks...lol. Zack Top is a really good modern country artist. I have high hopes for him. Some modern rockers are trying to do the right thing, but they can't break through. Many still try to over produce their work. Dirty Honey is a good exception. Rap still sucks. Same thing, different poetry, only more nasty and brutal in some cases.
 
This is when I think country music really started to get good (late 60's). This one came a couple of years before that one, but it's basically the same formula. Great song.


"The Bakersfield Sound" made a huge impact on country music at that time. Love those ol' Buck Owens songs, with Don Rich singing harmony and twanging out solos on his telecaster.
 
Morgan Wallen being so polarizing is simply a case of new school vs old school. People that grew up on old country think he's trash because he's a different type of country. Just like people like me who grew up Eminem, Lil Wayne, 36 Mafia, T.I, 50, etc think all modern rap/hip hop is complete trash. Personally I think MW has a few bangers but for the most part not my cup of tea. Which is exactly how I feel about most modern rap. Morgan Wallen isn't that bad, we're just getting old.
I'm in the camp of "enjoy and appreciate the classics" while it's still OK to "kick back, have a beer, and redneck it out with what the kids like." I didn't like MW when I first heard him, but with the windows down, on the lake, or with some corn hole boards, TN can grow on you.

This shouldn't be as hard to understand as some make it out to be.
