Grew up listening to old ass blue grass and country. Didn't like it at the time, now it's the measure that I stack all music against. This, this is more worthy than 99.99% of "country" I'm unlucky enough to hear. 10/10 and that's not enough praise.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, he started whistling

[@xNYRmike]

Nick and Colter Wall have like complete opposite voices, but I just can’t help thinking that they’d make something special together

They need a duet album, just like colter and Tyler's needs one!

I hope everybody, including this guy, knows that when people say “America has no culture” you can point them here

[@hamburgerdan101]

Who on earth says that shit there is no place richer or diverse in culture

[@harveymilne1684]

John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt not all culture. Take folk music for example. Each country has its own distinct style of folk music. Neighbouring countries may have similar styles and instruments but one of them had to be the first to do it. It can’t have just materialised from thin air.

[@harveymilne1684]

Me the alt centrist I think London’s already won that award.

[@thatonehead]

Me the alt centrist diverse but not richer. A lot of white people don’t know what type of European they are, black people in america have a separate culture from their ancestors, only immigrants or 1-2nd gens keep their culture. America has a weak ass culture, but at the same time a strong culture for a country less than 250 years old.

[@MissSchnickfitzel]

@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt european culture is american culture. Cowboy, western culture is american culture. I wouldn't say that is stolen, if they are white

[@thomasrosta7867]

I have this downloaded on my phone, and whenever I used to go up to work, the road was next to a ravine with a creek running down the mountain through it, I would always put this on and sing it to my fullest.
