“Rich men” was a catchy tune though

It had a catchy beat. But the lyrics were a muddled mess. Guy can't figure out if he's doing ABAB, AABB, ABCB, his stanzas are an absolute trainwreck and there's some ackward repetition.

And the production? Some of the worst acoustics possible.

You just don’t like the genre

The genre of folk/country or the genre of whiny acoustic beatnik? Garth Brooks this guy ain't and I don't see him landing a spot in the Charlie Daniels band with that low energy strum.

Yeah i dunno bud, I ain't a musician but I like what i heard. Least he sounded real, Garth is pretty phony sometimes.

Least he sounded rea

He sounded like he was playing a guitar in the woods. 90% of Bandcamp has better production value.

Did pretty fucking good for a guy playing in a clearing in the woods.

Go to any bar with an open mic and you'll find a guy just as good.

His success was entirely due to marketing. As soon as that dried up, people forgot he existed.

Guy just released an album 2 weeks ago and it's currently 42 on the billboard charts, 97 on the UK charts

Yes...it is news. Just happened the other day. Give it a little while, you'll start hearing the songs.
