Every Pop-Country Artist’s Next Album to Be “Country as Hell”
“We’re even bringing in a violin player!” smiled Kane Brown, in studio working on his proper follow-up to 2019’s Experiment. “It’s gonna be country as hell!” Brown was said to be drinking moonshine from a jar and wearing steel toe work boots in the vocal booth to get into character.
Thomas Rhett recently released the album Country Again, Side A, which features two songs with the word ‘country’ in the title. “Yeah, we saw the writing on the wall…. errr, I mean, we felt that this was the natural evolution of my sound.” said Rhett. Critics and naysayers were skeptical but modestly surprised with the results.
The changing tides in Nashville have even spurred a peculiar support industry - the “country life coach.” Consultants have hired on with several pop-country artists to help them work on their authenticity, which seems ironic. “We’ve put (name excluded) on a diet of fried foods and got him out of the gym into the hog barn, ha.” said Richard Perkins, an authenticity coach. “We’ve taught him what a steel guitar is, and how to tie a trot line, not just sing about one.”
While the trend toward more organic and source-oriented country music is not unwelcome, one must question the motives for the turn. D-Lister Dylan Scott told us “Well, my management somehow works me a hit or two a year, but nobody’s ever heard of me; we had to do something …so we’re in the studio working on some country as hell country!” smiled the burly Louisiana native.
At press time, Sam Hunt had no plans to stop talk singing about small town breakups over trap beats.

The Current Poop of Mainstream Country Radio: May 2021
A poop emoji is negative; a strike-thru is positive.
The current Poop Rating of the Mediabase Top 20 is (-9) overall which is a 2 point improvement from February (the previous time we did this chart). The worst song is Dan + Shay’s “Glad You Exist,” but Sam, Dylan, Luke, and Cole also have terrible entries. The best song is Eric Church’s “Hell of a View” with Lainey Wilson’s “Things a Man Oughta Know” nipping at its heels. The chart is somewhat stagnant, quality-wise, but there are hints of promise.

Sons of Anarchy Country Reaction Gifs
10 seconds into a Dan + Shay song
If you haven't listened to Morgan Wade
When you catch yourself enjoying the new Thomas Rhett song a little bit
If you're gonna dance to modern country...
FGL may be drifting apart, but that means there are two of them on country radio now
What's Carrie Underwood's new album about?
Eric Church, when he first came out
When your friend finally 'gets' Lucero
If you 'know' Sam Hunt fits the definition of country music

Country Music Was Better in the 90s (Sam Hunt Parody)
Country Music Was Better in the 90s
(Parody of Sam Hunt's "Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s")
Man, oh man, oh man
Bartender looked at me like, "I'd love to turn that jukebox down"
Someone was playing that modern sound
Something about a damn cell phone
Singin' with a twang but it's just pretend
Funny how it's two times as boring and half as witty
Why did someone pay money for a song this shitty?
The singer must have a nice face
Cause he can't sing worth a damn without the studio tricks and the auto-tune
But hey, what you gon' do?
Chorus
I'm sick of hearin' those snap beats, they just make me groan
Country's more than just some handsome cheekbones
They call it country music but that just reminds me
Country music was better in the '90s
I miss the steel guitar, truth and chords of three
Tired of hearin' pickup trucks and hey baby
Sam and Kane and Luke and them can kiss my hiney
Cause, country music was better in the '90s
Back then we listened to "Dumas Walker" and "Down at the Twist and Shout"
And "Chattahoochee," and "He Ain't Worth Missing" and "Love Lessons"
Sometimes the lyrics were fun and sometimes they were deep
But these days "vibe" is the only thing
And they wouldn't have a fiddle or steel guitar playin'
Or sing about some grown-up shit
Yeah I get sick of it all, I miss real drawling
Miss real country women and men
Chorus
I'm sick of hearin' those snap beats, they just make me groan
Country's more than a TikTok on your phone
They call it country music but that just reminds me
Country music was better in the '90s
I miss the steel guitar, truth and chords of three
Tired of hearin' pickup trucks and hey baby
Florida-Georgia Line and them can kiss my hiney
Cause, country music was better in the '90s
Bridge
Modern country ain't got modern hearts breaking
It's just a product, money for the taking
And I 'bout had enough hearing them living a country lie
I'm sick of hearin' those snap beats, they just make me groan
Country's more than just some handsome cheekbones
They call it country music but that just reminds me
Country music was better in the '90s
I miss the steel guitar, truth and chords of three
Tired of hearin' pickup trucks and hey baby
Thomas and Dustin and them can kiss my hiney
Cause, country music was better in the '90s
