New AUTHENTIC country music. (This ride vs Ela’s ride. Both rides run parallel and merge repeatedly)

(There’s 2 rides at the same time and they go along parallel routes. You can easily switch between vibes) So, this is Moorland, I’ve loved Country since been a kid after hearing Hank Williams and Woody Gutherie and have always had a soft spot for the tradition of this music. Similar to the Blues, and also bards of medieval Europe, and the spoken word story tellers of ancient Persia and Mesopotamia……The path of the country singer is one that is deeply rooted in honoring the tradition and history of this music. Often the path means the musician walks the Earth for a while picking up songs and melodies and lyrical contexts. A troubadour…. It’s absolutely true that Country music has been commercialized, sanitized and co-opted to promote values that are inconsistent with its deep heritage. ‘Outlaw Country’ was artists such as Waylon Jennings’s, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and others rejecting the ‘Nashville’ recoding industry scene and staying true to the heritage and there’s Artists today’s continuing that tradition. Margo Price, Benjamin Todd, Paul Cauthen, Charlie Crockett and more… For me Country music is and needs to be the music of the people. So when your driving home from your second job to your family who you love and your inability to provide more for them breaks your heart ever day….and you watch your friends fall into addiction……your parents and elders struggle with medical needs and alcoholism and blind faith God will provide….Your younger siblings struggle at school because what hope do they have beyond staying out of jail….your gay friends are on the verge of suicide or having to move away…Trans people have to be invisible …..businesses continually shutting as the Walmart 50 miles away becomes the only place you can buy anything…..
