I’ll say this, it’s one of the most beautiful states as far as nature goes. Going white-water rafting in the fall when the leaves are changing in the New River Gorge was spectacular. But everything else about the state… yeah. I traveled quite extensively there when I financially audited a coal company. It’s honestly just hopeless how poor and uneducated the people are, and how they vote against their own interests every single time, only making their situation more desperate.

100% this. I live like 4 miles from wv and have spent My whole life traveling through and doing industrial contractor work through every part of that state. The only parts that aren’t absolutely trash are the places people can’t live. We should just exterminate it and turn it into a national park…mother fuckers from there can’t even drive once they cross the line, they are always the ones that are going 10mph under the speed limit because they are confused by roads that aren’t shit.

Is that country or folk?
RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It was country music, back when it came out.
Now it would probably be called “Americana” or something.

I am not American but I still like these songs.

Check out Murder by Death’s new cover of Highway Man: youtu.be/tQh0RkGSvmY?si=0am1F9v9LMyPNJva

I exclusively associate that song with RTGame on YouTube obliterating his cities in Cities Skylines.
As an aside, IRL I like to call the state “Left Virginia” for ironic shits and giggles.

That works on two levels, whether you’re bad at maps or want to reference it’s origin of leaving Virginia to stay with the Union during the civil war.

The most modern country music I will listen to is Garth Brooks.

Jason Isbell?
Sturgill Simpson?
Blackberry Smoke?
Or do you like music about American flags, cheating pickup trucks, dead dogs, and terminally ill wives?
___spannungsbogen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
By odd chance, I got turned onto Sturgill last month and I’ve had all the albums on repeat since. I had always liked the odd bluegrass or folk song, but never had a real in with country before this. Excited to check out the rest of this list!
Fingers crossed that one of these are still touring.

Garth needs to tell the families where the bodies are buried, they need closure

Or sing “Wet Vagina” and see if anyone notices.

Why do you think the other line is “mount’n mamma”?
