Chicago post-Terry Kath ... it's like falling into the vat of your local syrup factory. Mariah Carey was mentioned upthread for good reason. Modern country isn't country, it's crappy pop with fake accents and sometimes a steel guitar.
I could go on, but I won't.
I grew up listening to country in the house because that's what my mother listened to. I don't care for most of it. Though like awty mentioned, Johnny Cash, and some others I can handle, like Tennessee Ernie Ford or Marty Robbins. Don't get me started on that yodeling shit, though. That shit drove my dad (and me) nuts. He was a fan of the 3 Bs and all things classical. One of my sons thought that I might like some "modern country". NOPE.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
