They are, and in any realm outside of this video they're not going anywhere near a remote country home owned by some kind of aging gypsy cowgirl.

Looks like Jack Sparrow found a post-pirate gig. Good for him.

Have y'all heard Alan's new song? I think his next album could be a good one.

This is what happens when rock stars don't have the self-respect to die of a drug overdose in their 30's

Country music sounds like the ZZ Top version of Viva Las Vegas now. Terrrrrrrible.

I think Sam Hunt's House Party is finally bringing county music back to its roots

Eh. He's a rocker pissing around with country music; probably because he's bored. Unlike Bro Country stars pissing around with rock and country and get neither right.

Somewhat related, I'm surprised no country stars have tried to cover "What It Takes". That is a country song waiting to happen.

Mainstream country is atrocious. It's a shame acts like Jason Isbell and the Turnpike Troubadours go unnoticed by so many people.

Went to Turnpike at HOB last month. Awesome show but noticeably not that crowded.

Part of this is due to the fact that there isn't much of a place for rock in mainstream music today. Certainly not like there was in the 90's. Heck, when I listen some of the Aerosmith from the 90's (Crazy, What It Takes, Cryin') it sounds more like country or southern rock than anything 'rock' today (and clearly it's not country). That song isn't bad, but the video is way over the top.

Modern country is just over-produced...like every genre today. We have so much technology now, we're leaning on that instead of the things that used to make great songs. We're trying to fit labels instead of letting an artist be the themselves...or pushing a bunch of people with little talent that you have to invent a fake twang and image for.

There are some artists that give me hope for country though:

Are you kidding? That Sam Hunt song is just this song, except about white trash stuff instead of about preppy kid stuff.

This sounds like a rip of Achy Breaky Heart. Musically not subject matter...

Guess what...A lot of country music in general is a rip off of others. It's the nature of the genre with so much acoustic guitar.

Look at how many songs are simply just A, C, D chords progressions.

Whichever country song involves some rapping in the middle of it...wtf?

Country music is not the only genre that does not have much variation in their chords
