I love country music, especially from the 80’s and early/mid 90’s that I grew up listening to. I was raised by my grandparents and we listened to the country countdown every Sunday morning over breakfast.
My grandparents owned a feed store (which I worked in from 12-20) worked cows and got me into rodeo (actually went to Sam on a rodeo scholarship). Those older country songs resonate with me on that lifestyle and take me back to those younger days. I do enjoy some of the newer country singers like Cody Johnson, but I don’t like the weird mixed stuff from people like Cody Jinks. He’s not country at all and his music sure isn’t. My gf dragged me to his concert at the rodeo this year, horrible. It’s sad that you don’t have folks like Chris LeDoux, Reba McIntyre and George Straight anymore that were all actual cowboys and cowgirls. (Chris and Reba both rodeo’d and George was/is a big team roper and puts on one of the largest team ropings in the country). Or that we don’t have more Hank, Johnny Lee, Jones, Merle, Conley, Whitley etc.
