    For most of my life I haven’t been interested in country music because the contemporary popular stuff tend to be terrible. I’m currently discovering some of the old(er) good stuff for the first time (also watching that Ken Burns documentary a few years ago really ignited my appreciation). Currently (as in this minute as I type this), listening to some old Steven Earle songs for the first time and wondering why I didn’t know about this.

      Steve Earle fucking rules. Everyone knows Copperhead Road but tbh like everything else he wrote is even better.

      I kinda grew up with Steve Earle, Johnny Cash, and some of the other southern rock-y stuff like The Marshall Tucker band, then I found American Aquarium in like '06, but I really only got into country/western around the time Fallout New Vegas came out, I just couldn’t get enough of it.
