Congratulations @MrAndyNgo Finally had the time to read your important bookYou’re a brave man pic.twitter.com/2CwX5KINOw— Winston Marshall (@MrWinMarshall) March 6, 2021
These guys made a career of producing music that had the shape folk music, but told us nothing about ourselves and helped us remember nothing. They didn't have to be chuds to be bad. What they were doing already was itself a crime.
Steve Earle is more Bluegrass/Folk than Country but he's dope. My favorite songs of his are: The Mountain a song about a boy who grew up on a mountain in Appalachia, worked in the mines as a man, and now mourns the loss of the mountain after the mining industry destroyed it all. As well as Dixieland a song based on a character from the book The Killer Angels, an Irishman who came to America and enlisted to go fight the Confederate Slavers during the American Civil War because he sees them as no better than the English landowners who stole his island and forced him to flee for his life. Good stories told to music.

Not who you asked but Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Margo Price, Charley Crockett, and Justin Townes Earle are some of my favorites.
