I really like Ian Noe for having written an anti-country picture of rural life in Appalachian Kentucky. Every single person in every song is miserable for causes that every leftist can read as deindustrialized neoliberal America. They're not vibing a rural georgia suburban life of F-150s and Real-Tree accessories that shows up in country music radio. They're smoking meth on abandoned property in the woods because there's genuinely nothing better to do.

There's also Whitney Morgan & the 78s and Quaker City Night Hawks for anyone interested.
