Black artists are bringing some good mojo into country music.

Country has been pretty awful for awhile imo. Totally generic mindless lyrics, repetitive copycat songs. Black artists are making some pretty darn good country music. Here's one that I think is particularly good by Marshmello and Kane Brown. See what you think:

Before I even click play: Does it have steel guitar?

I don't hear any auto tune, sounds good to me.

I'll just say that I like country Darius Rucker far better than Hootie.

Charlie Pride was great, but there have only been a handful of Black artists in country music until recently.

Define country and before I am labeled a racist person, one of my most favorite deceased singers was an African American. Was he a country music act? No, but I love all that I have heard from him.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Go here for that late beautiful precious masterpiece of a man who I wish was still here. I purchased this material of his on a record because that was the only way to score the stuff and, so far it is the only record that I have that was eventually transitioned onto a CD. I love his singing, his songwriting, and his smile that much.

^^^ Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what do you mean by that?

God bless you always!!!

P.S. For the record, there are plenty of white singers who are all over country radio who I will never label country.

Now THAT's the Real Deal!

Steel guitar or it ain't country. Very few exceptions. I.E. Patsy Cline.

Charley Pride was one of the best!

What does he need to "sound like"? Hank Williams? Garth Brooks? He sounds good to me, and it's a good song.

It's not a good country song, though.

Don't say country if you got naam.
