Three of my favorite country artists are Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Orville Peck and Kacey Musgraves.

I know Kacey gets a lot of flack for not "sounding as country" but she has been really great at pioneering a new sound.

Check out David Unlayao and Megan Maroney too if you haven't, REALLY great new country coming up. I'm definitely not a giant country fan and honestly that genre and metal is where I would say I'm the harshest critic.
