I'm sure there are popular artists in your country that we've never heard of, either. It's a big world.

LMFAO at you saying "Country artists" when referring to Yoakum, Chesney and McGraw. They ARE country artists, no quotes needed.

If Chesney et. al. are where you guys are at with respect to USA country music, then you are so lucky! For the last five years, country music has been taken over by something called "bro country". And holy moley, does it ever suck! Here are the lyrics to every bro country song ever written:

"Hey girl, in your cut off jeans, riding in the truck with the smoke rolling out, and your hat on backwards, drinking Jack Daniels, blasting T-Pain from your Kenwoods. Let's go down some old back road to a spot on the lake no one else knows. I'll bring my old guitar and my old bird dog Beau. The smoke will roll and the drink will flow. And then I'll boff you."

Avoid at all costs these artists: Luke Bryan. Jason Aldean. Florida Georgia Line (the absolute WORST OF THE WORST). Sam Hunt. Anyone named Chad. Actually, avoid all American male country artists under the age of 35. They suck. Every single one of them. Bro country is worse than rap. Yeah, I said it.

Well when you take the absolute worst tropes of rap and combine them with the tropes of country then you honestly can't expect anything good to come from it. You'd think bro country couldn't sink any lower until you've heard it with EDM elements spliced in. Absolutely dreadful.

I'll stick with Roseanne Cash and Wynonna Judd, thank you.

You're right. We had some guy named Sam Hunt at the rodeo this year and he was basically exactly what you described.

I watched his show from a restaurant where our feed was from the soundboard. The guy tried to sing. He can't sing. I mean, he REALLY cannot sing. I'm not saying he's a bad singer. I'm saying he cannot actually sing at ALL.

The electronic alterations on his voice in order to get it playable over the air must be monstrous.

Hilarious, we have a poet here too, called Sam Hunt, who is about 70 and always pissed. He writes haikus and doggerel style poetry and recites it usually when he is shitfaced on cheap wine.

It is a Philadelphia paper. Why would they be talking about who's popular in other countries that they're not selling to?
