Modern "country" is pop sung with an accent, and steel guitars overdubbed on the chorus.
It is, it is. It's particularly cheap pop compositions given a veneer of country, isn't it?
It looks like mainstream folk music has the tendency to degenerate extremely. This is very noticeable in the absolutely unlistenable contemporary German/Austrian "Volks"musik. Produced to death crap as it is currently employed to pacify senior citizens rotting away in elderly care centers:
Yes, I know what you are thinking: the Germans have again managed to create a greater horror than you could have imagined.
As antidote, closer the real thing, even with electric guitars (ignore the early 90s touch tho)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
