Country music has undergone a significant transformation in the last few decades. Today, the genre is being compared to what it was 40 years ago, where legends like George Jones, Conway Twitty, and Charley Pride dominated the scene. This comparison was made by John Rich in a recent Instagram post, where he expressed his concern about the state of country music.
Rich, who is a country music singer and songwriter, shared a photo of George Jones, Conway Twitty, and Charley Pride with the caption, "Which do you prefer?" In the same post, he also shared a photo of Kelsea Ballerini dancing with drag queens at the CMAs.
Some argue that country music has evolved, and artists like Kelsea Ballerini are bringing a fresh perspective to the genre. Many believe that the genre has lost its roots and that its focus on woke SJW causes has watered down the authenticity of country music.
Regardless of where one stands in this debate, it is clear that country music has undergone significant changes over the years. Which do you prefer? The classic country sound or this new version of "country" that has somehow decided that drag queens for children is the hill they need to die on?
