We’re just going to put it our there. Country music is quite popular in Her.ie towers. We love Dolly, adore Garth.. and we’re partial to a bit of Kenny Rogers every now and again too. But this is great.
Music critic Grady Smith uploaded this damming video to YouTube this week, saying: “I was inspired to make this supercut after posting my 10 Best Country Albums of 2013 list for EW. A few commenters told me that my choices weren’t mainstream enough, and I thought, “Well, yeah, because so much of what’s on the radio these days sounds exactly the same!” So I decided to make a video to prove my point.
“I hope country fans will stop settling for this derivative junk. I love a dumb party song every once in a while (including some of these!), but when they’re the only flavor available, they get old very, very fast. Here’s to better music in 2014.”
We say, here’s to more trucks, beer and old dirt roads. Keep it country lads. Keep it country.
