Toby Keith - Should've Been A Cowboy (Twangy Midwest Emo Indie Rock Mashup)

Музыка

STREAM HERE: open.spotify.com/album/7yPrEi...
Hey gang! We're back with another Y'allternative banger, smashing together the Late Great Toby Keith with some fun twinkly bits and general 90's alternative vibes with big open chords and lively drums. I love this era of country music, and I love bringing new vibes to these older classics. Thanks for listening.

    you'd be surprised how many of the backing bands for the massive country singers were scene kids back in the day from smaller emo/punk/metal/metalcore bands

    I mean they both share a lot of the same concept and music theory. Both are angsty and meant to spark feelings of nostalgia. Country just does it with more twang and punk with overdrive and distortion
