I also consider myself to like all genres of music. Some country isn’t bad. Especially older country. Actually newer country isn’t that bad either, but it’s all often so tied into identity politics it can be difficult to listen to.

I enjoy country music a lot when it doesn't fall into similar traps to a few other genres where they just sing about the same things (drinking, women, nice cars, etc). I like the ones telling a story or singing about various phases of their life (serious or goofy). Stuff like Jamey Johnson's "In Color", Blake Shelton's "Ol' Red", or Thomas Rhett's "Sixteen".

The Beatles were influenced by Buck Owens. If you play guitar or just have an ear for music, listen to a Buck Owens greatest hits album and you will totally hear it.

Outlaw country is a whole thing and it's very different from that cliche rightwing pop country stuff.
