Outlaw County Wooo

If Waylon were still with us he’d kick the ass of nearly everyone in Nashville
- "You're saying country musicians didn't always support wars of imperialism? Huh?"
  
  “Come on Willy let’s ride”
- I'd also humbly submit Sierra Ferrell: not exactly outlaw country, but definitely in the vein of old school country, and she has a voice that is absolutely hypnotizing.
  One of her most popular songs that is about love with a healthy dose of morbidity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2W8kCk1qnU
  An absolutely legendary display of what she's capable of with her voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Aha_GwFt4

Rural noun, simple adjective
- Warm night, cold beer, blue jeans, red pick-up
  
  No shirt, no shoes, ~~no jews~~ you didn't hear that

Both of these types existed in the past and still exist today.

Pat Finnerty on YouTube does a great series called What Makes This Song Stink. It's definitely not for everyone, as he doesn't give a shit about YouTube algorithms and keeping videos to an ideal length. But has a recent hour long video on Jason Aldean's Try That in a Small Town. The video (Pat Finnerty's not Jason Aldean's) is phenomenal.
- Another video you (and @FunderPants@lemmy.ca, @Grayox@lemmy.ml, @Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world) might enjoy is Chill Goblin's take on "Oliver Anthony, Welfare, and Blair Mountain". Oliver Anthony is the artist who did "Rich Men North of Richmond" and it's a really great breakdown with historical contexts from the mining union wars to the Reagan Era of "Welfare Queens".
  
  Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out later today.
  Todd in the Shadows also did a great breakdown of this song
  
  Thank you for the recommendations, I'll give it a listen.

- Beato
- This video is great, thanks for sharing, subscribed.
  
  Honestly, they're worth going back and watching all of them from episode 1. He's got a lot of jokes that he builds up across episodes.

I like Billy Strings, he's the exception, phenomenal guitar work with some true outlaw country lyrics.

I'm convinced that if someone wrote a classic country banger, like a certified banger. Country "fans" would hate it and everyone else would love it.
- I mean they seemed to like Toby Keith, he's even done a song with Willie Nelson about bounty hunting.

Bones are their money…

Goodnight Travis County, there will be no encore. Woo!

Tennesse ernie ford anyone?
Marty robbins?
Get me the classic good shit

I despise modern country music and generally consider outlaw country and anything not Nashville Establishment to be the real shit.

Six country songs, speed matched and cut together, presented without further comment
