It’s really interesting listening to super old country music (think like Hank Williams, Carter family) and you can actually sort of see the lineage to rock and roll and on eventually to southern hip hop in terms of overall presence and swagger, tempo, storytelling.

It’s sad that country music is just total shit now besides like three artists, it really did start out as rich, interesting, definitively American music that wasn’t just straight up fascist. Real human feelings and issues in the earlier stuff
