    There was a catechism on Reddit whenever some 20 something guy would say he hated country music:

    Jason Isbell

    Sturgill Simpson

    Tyler Childers

    I can’t remember all of them, I do like country music now I found the good stuff, but hate what’s on the radio for sure, it is truly awful music. My husband has come around because of what I listen to.

    None of this is to convince you! There is a wide wide world of music, you will not run out even if you are afraid of twang. Your comment just brought me back to the earlier Reddit.

    (ETA I was just listening to Sound & Fury today, I like Simpson’s country stuff but LOVE that rock album, start to finish it’s so good )

      Yup my husband likes Tyler Childers too, but I don’t care for him. I don’t think I’ve heard of Jason Isbell.

      But to each their own! I love pop music from the '60s and my husband’s not nuts about it. Like Sly and the Family Stone say, different strokes for different folks. :)

        Leon Bridges and Charley Crockett are touring together, I have seen both and they are great performers but what I am most happy about is the way they are showing the link between country and R&B. What you like is probably not as far removed from what he likes, as you think. Music is a river.

        Who doesn’t like Sly & the Family Stone? What the heck?
