What's that douche bag with the song about going to a tailgating party with T-Pain and Kanye being played out of Ford F-150s? lol
There's a lot of DAMN good country out there right now.
Sturgill was already tossed out so I'll rec these dudes.
This is amazing.
Like, thanks, I'm going to go listen to him now. Plus he has a nice voice.
Modern country is some weird electronic pop crap, really don't like it.

My work has country playing sometimes and it's the same shit over and over and over and it all sounds the same.
Its torture.

Modern country is where people that couldn't be pop or rock stars go to make it big
I listen to country and the only song I can think of thats remotely like this is Garth Brooks

Considering I couldn't even begin to stomach country music from decades past, I'm glad I'm not familiar with modern country.If you want quality Country music you have to go back a few decades.
FM country or stadium country is awful. You're going to get someone coming into this thread saying "I don't know, I like all that other country, but I don't think there's anything wrong with listening to a little bit of Eric Church and rolling down the windows with my girl and... etc." but fuck it. Popular country has been completely overtaken by a lazy pop sound which steals from the pool of rejected elements from other genres.
If you actually want some decent country acts...
Sturgill Simpson is basically the modern answer to Waylon Jennings.
Tyler Childers has a haunting voice and can do interesting things with some of the typical themes and sounds of traditional country.
Punch Brothers are some of the most technically impressive artists of all time. Their classical music inspiration has led many to say "That's not country, that's folk," but whatever. It's fucking bluegrass.
Trampled by Turtles and Old Crow Medicine Show are similar bluegrass-oriented bands.
Drive-By Truckers are some of the more socially and politically aware acts in the business. Their former lead vocalist Jason Isbell is currently experiencing an amazing solo career.
Justin Townes Earle is the son of Steve Earle and named after Townes Van Zandt; he was basically destined for country.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops are an oldtime folk and bluegrass-inspired band with a heavy focus on black spirituals for their sound.
Luke Bell sounds like he's ripped from a 60s country record.
Margo Price seems to be following in the footsteps of Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris.
The Dead South offer a new twist on bluegrass that really does feel like a modern evolution of the sub-genre.
Radio station at work is always tuned to country, so I get a ton of that dreadful stuff.
"huntin, fishin, and lovin' every day, I THANK GOD HE MADE ME THIS WAY"

Yep. This sentence would work equally well talking about modern pop, hip-hop, rock or any other heavily commercialized music. It's all obviously engineered to sound the same and it all just blends into itself.My work has country playing sometimes and it's the same shit over and over and over and it all sounds the same.
Its torture.
It's two tickets to a concert, it's a Daytona airbrush t-shirt
Wonderin' who's gonna kiss who first, you know what I'm talkin' about
Hey baby what you doin' tonight?
It's butterflies and Bud Lights
Under the stars and on the stripes of a beach towel in a spring break town
It's playin' in the night air, through the speakers all night long
Couple kids just livin' that American country love song
Well it's "Chris loves Jenny" on a license plate
It's daddy gettin' mad 'cause you came home late
It's one last kiss in the driveway
Hey radio DJ, can you play that song that she loves
So I can turn it up, and maybe turn her on
An American country love song
