    Most modern day country songs would still be terrible if they had leftist lyrics. Oliver Anthony can actually sing and his music isn't over produced to hell

      lol like that’s a hard bar to clear. There are FAR better country artists today that don’t have reactionary lyrics like Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price or even a mainstream act like Chris Stapleton. Anthony is crap and ignoring a huge aspect of it isn’t going to change anything.

      over produced to hell

      As someone whos worked as an engineer my whole life, Overproduction in the context of music that’s supposed to be can be good sometimes i-think-that

      Like there’s an art to it, I understand it not being everyone’s cup of tea but I like often respect and like it. That said I don’t much care for modern country in general so I don’t have much of a dog in this racd
