I believe there is probably more good music coming out today than there’s ever been. In many genres. But the downfall of traditional radio and the reliance on streaming in some ways makes it hard to find the good stuff even though it’s all at our fingertips. People are locked into singles and whatever their app is hustling, and most people don’t buy/download full albums anymore and fall in love with deep cuts. The flip side of that though was the other night after the MJ Lenderman album got done playing, my Apple Music got on a heater playing stuff in the same vein and rattled off 15+ songs in a row that were all good and by artists I’d never heard of. I ended up making a whole playlist just of those songs that were served up to me by the algorithm. I really like that the folk/americana/non-nashville country is truly in a golden era right now.
