Oh yeah, for sure. I was just trying to think up modern artists to illustrate that good country music is still being made today. Otherwise I'd add people like Willie Nelson, Woodie Gunthrie, Johnny Paycheck, etc etc etc... and the list would be eternally long.

It's like, generally accepted that old country is good, but modern day country sucks. I just wanted to disprove that. There's still great country music being made post Garth Brooks.

EDIT: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Charlie Daniels, Chris Stapleton, Kenny Rogers...
