Guy's got a wicked sense of humor, look up "She Left Me For Jesus" (not the music video). I'd also recommend Shovels and Rope.

Popular country has been in an age of cynicism (call, respond with twangy guitar; my truck; breakup song) for about 10 years. We might see a resurgence of new ideas in a few years, maybe even a new movement.

> maybe even a new movement.
There's hick hop. Yeah, I detest it too and view it as anything but a positive movement but it is new. Or should I say 'nu' since it seems really analogous to nu-metal?

>(call, respond with twangy guitar; my truck; breakup song)

This is the fault of the audience more than the artists really. This is what a lot of people want and I don't think /mu/ realizes that. Theres a huge segment of the population that doesn't want to hear the typical themes of rap and other popular music because they don't reflect their daily lives at all. Working hard, Drinking beer, driving trucks, chasing the opposite sex at the bar, getting laid (but not in crass, pornographic level explicitness) falling in and out of love, nostalgia, being rural and proud - these are themes that deeply resonate with Americans that are not being addressed elsewhere.

Yeah they're pretty insipid but really you got to admit they send a better message than that being sent by the vast majority of rap

Probably the last mainstream country artist I rally liked was Nick 13 and he wasn't that successful. If you haven't heard of him, he was the singer of Tiger Army tha did a solo album that got some airplay on CMT but is actually pretty damn good considering:

I do got to say out of all the current pop country artists I do like Miranda Lambert the best.

She's got a nice sounding twang in her voice, and her music usually seems a little more traditional than prettyy much any of the other big names out there now
