Kinda depends on how far you go back/what genre of country you are talking about. But John Hartford has some of my favorite lyrics that still carry weight today. I probably think about the song In Tall Buildings everyday on my drive to work.
The thing I hate the most about modern country is that there's nothing that really connects it to country/bluegrass other than the poor use of steel string guitar and fake accents. I live in Oklahoma.... Nobody talks like that, and even if they did you would usually lose it when you're singing.
Someone like reba mcentire has a fairly common Oklahoman accent if you talk to older people in the boonies, but she doesn't really sing with a heavy accent. It's all performative affectations from rich kids from suburbs pretending like they're from the country side.
YT fed me Rick Beats at one point, this feels like a discussion he has on repeat re the fall of modern music.
The ones where their voice cracks on purpose to make them sound more amateur bother the hell out of me.
