Jason Kelce Has Some Strong Words for the Current State of Country Music

Jason Kelce was on his brother Travis’ podcast and had some very strong words for the current state of country music.  I thought Jason was the mild-mannered one, but he didn’t hold back.

He said, “If I have to hear one more country song that’s like, ‘I got my boots in my truck, going through the fields.’  Like what the [eff] are we talking about?  That’s not country music.”

Jason went on to say that he was, “tired of country music and what it has become.”  But he did say something we can all get behind . . . Quote, “Just put on some [effing] Willie Nelson.”

No one would argue with listening to more Willie, but here is where I’m confused. Are the lyrics in country music getting bad again?  Isn’t bro-country dead?  Haven’t we moved past that? I think most of us would agree Country music has more variety than it ever has.

Carrie Underwood even recently talked about how right now there is a little something for everyone in country music. Maybe Jason just needs to listen to better country music?

Check out the full interview below.
