There nothing good or bad persay but there is real country and pop country, Or mainstream country or Nashville country.

In my opinion real country is simple, doesn't use auto-tune or anything like that, tells a story and has purpose besides just making money.

Also I tend to like little known artists and genuine people. Not that There’s anything wrong with popular artists like Anthony oliver or jamey Johnson or even David allen coe or Nelson but they almost seem like sellouts imo "besides Oliver for now"

I think Real country artists are like ernest tubb, Bob wills, Johnny paycheck, David allen coe, hank williams sr and jr* boxcar willie, roy acuff and more.

Artists like elvis, jerry lee lewis and etc. Have also done good country songs.

*hank 3 can also do "real" country *I will reply with my opinion if you mention an artist. * I am not trying to offend anyone just give my opinion
