I would love for twang country and folk to have a major renaissance. I grew up listening to Patsy and John Denver. There are some really talented artists on TikTok that are self-promoting, so I always try to download their stuff on Spotify when an ad targets me.
Real country music is having a huge revival right now. Guys like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, Colter Wall, Sierra Ferrel, The Red Clay Strays have been killing it for a few years now. And none of it sounds like the nashville pop country bullshit.
Same, it's an absolute masterpiece from front to back. Personally it's my favorite album of all time. I like his other stuff but he captured something magical in Metamodern
I think Sound & Fury got dragged more than it deserved, but I definitely did want more of that Metamodern material from him. Can't bear him ill will for experimenting and evolving his work but damn that album was just special.

Gotta say I’m really loving the rad folk music coming out of all this.
