There are two types of country artists. One will help you hide a body and run from the cops. The other will call you a slur.
After 9/11, Country turned from “we are working people” to “My Dad’s an oil tycoon and I love the US”.
that was around the same time local radio collapsed and I heart radio and other conglomerates took over. not long after media ownership rules changed. I don’t think it was the artists who changed.
The girl’s musicians are folk, not country. That’s kind of the main purpose of the distinction.
Thank you, thanks especially for saving me two paragraphs of rant.
Try meeting a girl like that in a small town.

Well, you wonder why
I always dress in black
Why you never see
Bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance
Seem to have a somber tone?
Well, there’s a reason for the things
That I have on

For the poor and the beaten down
Livin’ in the hopeless
Hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner
Who has long paid for his crime
But is there because
He’s a victim of the timesWho are her artists?
Anne Feeney, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger.
Great knowledge
