      You must recognize something before you can fear it. Sadly, Nashville (the industry side) is too busy churning out radio friendly cunt-ry music to even notice a gem like Sierra. That's coming from a Native Nashvillian.

      Pop, hip hop, country, rock on today's mainstream radio stations are all or almost all computer software generated music instead of music actually played by humans. It originally has humans playing in the studio then the studio recording engineers and record producers grid everything with computer software tools like beat detective and autotune. For myself it doesn't sound like real music but so many of the masses, especially the young adults, teenagers, and pre teens believe that this grid based computer software generated music that relies heavily on beat detective and autotune is actually real music. So with this younger generation believing that computer software generated music is real music the crap that is played on modern country, rock and pop sells with this younger audience. For people like myself, we hate this modern trend in music and musicians like Sierra Ferrell are a welcome relief since she is so old school. Rock, country and pop from decades ago was real music with people singing with their real voice and playing instruments that wasn't using beat detective tools.

      @@briano.5746 I loved alot of music in the 90s, especially from rock and metal, even in the mainstream. But in the 2000s the only really good music in every genre comes from the underground music scene. The 2000s was the start of this beat detective and autotune crap and the 2010s and currently doubled down on these computer software tools making it even worse then the 2000s decade.

    @chrisjohnson9645 4 роки тому +45

    I think she is considered country. Live she does some country and it is good. But really it is gypsy and a bit rock-a-billy. I saw her live and all I can say is that she is better than any UA-cam video I have seen of her, and some of the videos are really good. The voice is unique, a patsy/dolly/temptress voice, but she writes the songs, and the guitar playing is exceptional in the sense that the feeling is clear and the sound expressive.
