No, you hate pop country

True statement. Miss me with that truck-beer-girl-dog shit.

Steve Goodman and John Prine are said to have written the "perfect" country song. Incorporating as it does trucks, trains, the rain, mama, drinkin' and prison.

"Well, I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got run over by a damned old train..."

I'm sure there's some dumbass country "truck-beer-girl-dog" songs that are great. Haven't heard any but still

Don't forget jeans. Gotta throw those in

Yeah this is more folk, like Fleetwood Mac or others. What would be called stadium country is pure trash, but god damn that folk music..
