And then sometime in between songs, you have some guy from down the road you vaguely recognize the voice of awkwardly telling a random life story that somehow connects to the next song
I live right in the middle of Alabama, and I wish we had country stations that sound like this around here because at least then it would give me something to laugh at. Most of our country stations are just a reason to turn the dial over to something more interesting.
That’s why 106.9 or 103.1 is always playing in my truck. It’s at least classic rock and alternative . Our “country” stations here suck. They play the same five new songs 6 times a day.
As a rural Texan this is more than a little bit accurate only instead of actual country noises they usually play glitch sounds that sound like accelerated dialup noises
They do, just like how you rock fans have the most disgusting stations on the radio t. a metal head who hasn't heard a good metal station since he last drove through Iowa

I grew up in a small town, every radio station intro was done by one of the three people that worked at the radio station. It’s was a damn culture shock when I got to go to a city and listen to their radio stations.
was basically not allowed to listen to any other radio stations besides our local classic country station (rivercountry 101.7) as a kid and this is 100% spot on
I live in Michigan, which is home to Detroit, Motor City, Motown. You'd expect that I'd hear Motown music more often, but it's this stuff instead. Thanks, grandma.
Who the heck would think that? Motown hasn't been popular since the 70's when it died as an actual music industry That'd be like expecting to find big band stations without having to go to the internet or satellite just because you live in Pennsylvania
After hearing my grandfather play country radio every single day whenever he dropped me off for school, I can say that This Kiss triggers my fight or flight response due to how many times I have heard it.
Where I'm from I grew up listening to 104.3 "Froggy". Then another country station came along, and I forgot about it. Then I saw a bumper sticker for Froggy on The Office, I was mildly amused. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Money saving tip: Lots of radio stations these days have a streaming app. Find a station you like, get their app, open GPS, set a destination and mute the directions. The GPS will keep the phone from sleeping and the app will continue to play. For classic country, I like 94.5 WAMN Willie out of Bluefield, WVa
*Me, a North Carolinian from the Charlotte area who now lives in South Carolina when I went to tennessee and tried to find a rock station:* AAAAAAAAAAA

You joke, but this was a big part of high school for me...and the reason why I can't stand listening to some songs that aren't even that bad because of how often they got played over and over...and over...and over...and over. Highway don't care, and neither do I!
One of the places I worked at, a shoe store, we were allowed to play our own music, because the stupid radio could only play one station "River Country" and hearing This Kiss by Faith Hill every half hour all day was absolute torture.

imma be honest, there's some rock and roll songs that sound more country than what they call country music now.
Most classic rock and classic country originated from blues, while modern country sounds more like pop. So yeah, right on the money, actually.
well, bad company feel like makin love sounds pretty country. and going to california led zepplin also sounds pretty country. dust in the wind kansas. eagles, helplessly hoping csn. etc.
also, a lot of it seems just to be more of a corporate mass production of music. and it's pretty much the same across all genres these days.
Southern rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd have a lot of country influence
Skynard.
In an actual radio station this would all be packed into 5 seconds with overlapping sound effects
That’s so they can fit more ads in per hour
Now I know why country is so hated. Not because country music is bad, it’s that the damn stations don’t play actual country.

"This Kiss" would play every thirty minutes at the grocery store I worked at on country music days.

It was "The Woman With You" by Kenny Chesney

I'd argue that "Classic" Country ended with like Hank Williams Jr in the 1980's.
The "Silver Age" of country being from like 1985 to 2000.
With guys like Sammy Kershaw, Alan Jackson, etc.
And even that's pushing it.
Because Shania Twain appeared in the early 90's and she already had a very Pop flourish.
Now it's all (with very few exceptions like Chris Stapleton) mostly just mixed Pop.
Pop with fuggin' fiddles and slide guitar in it.
Point being, country is more than just a fiddle in the band and songs of patriotism.
That seems to be "the formula" that the industry uses today to define it.
Classic country songs told stories and were very often Blues inspired.
What about say Garth Brooks? Garth is pretty fucking good country IMO
No shit it ain't classic if its made in 2010
Chris LeDoux's songs are top notch, and If you are looking for recently made music then Josh Meloy's stuff is great.
