    Country music draws it’s origins from southern blues music. Blues originated from religious black musicians and often why it was singing about struggles or over coming demons.

    New country is just a racist pop singler that wants to fuck their tractor.

      Zandi Holup is a pretty “new” artist who sings a lot about “struggles or over coming demons”. My favorite song of hers is “Gas Station Flowers”, the official video for that song is intense. She releases pretty much nothing but bangers, IMO (not a fan of “Mary Jane” personally, she kinda missed the mark on that one). “Go Find Less” is another great one, straight up feminist anthem. “Dirty Wings” is a good song as well.

      You can definitely hear its blues roots. I suppose you are right about the religious origins, but the songs they later copied were not about the same subject matter
