    People like to forget that country spawned out of folk music (“folk” as a genre was attacked for being a hotbed of leftism under HUAC, so a lot of folk artists rebranded themselves double-quick) and a large amount of people who grew up with the country music that came from that movement, and then went on to do it themselves, actually listened to what the lyrics were saying.
