Another reason why this Twitter account (mine, not Kendell's) is closing. How can the country ecosystem survive without these venues, which host thousands of writers a year?!

[Kendell Marvel @kendellmarvel]

This venue and these people have been a huge part of my career for the past 6 years.
We will miss them and the ⁦@EXIT_IN⁩ as we know it and hope for the best for the future of this historic place.

Hers's seminar/mixtape number five in the @ArcRadioStation series that runs through the Red Dirt decades.

The 2010s is the destination today!

I was right!!!!!

Country music must adapt or die. Think of the thinkpieces if the bemulleted one takes the award. (He won't. It's got to be Combs.)

[Billy Dukes @billydukes]

According to Bet US, Morgan Wallen is the even money favorite to win EOY.

@jonnybrick Correct, although https://t.co/WFcr8BLFw6 will still exist and I'm working on a series of essays for @TBCMF!!!

The great Russell Dickerson (@russelled) offers country-pop on his new self-titled album in a Kane Brown or Thomas Rhett manner.

Again, this is why the Country Way of Life account will be archived at Christmas. It's not about music any more and it doesn't achieve anything to argue on here.

Country music must adapt or die.

So, 5 white, straight, cishet people are the diverse future of country music? Incredible. https://t.co/qmEmxzbneH

I am delighted to welcome Ray Benson from Asleep at the Wheel (@aatw1969) and the writer @NCDavidMenconi to promote the paperback edition of Comin' Right At Ya, a history of the man and his band.

It's part of a series talking to 78 musicians or critics.

@brian_mansfield Correct. Twitter is the first manifestation of this. There will be better ones.

[Country Way of Life ACCOUNT DORMANT @CountryWOL]

@brian_mansfield Set up a Discord server, or get their email addresses. There are other ways to connect with people.

A plug for this.

The 1990s mixtape can be found here, by the way, for another week: https://t.co/tfbEmBixFt

On Sunday In The Red Dirt, I continue my series of mixtape/seminars running through the decades.

It's high time for Red Dirt music in the 2000s: George, Garth, Blake The Chicks, Carrie, Miranda, Bowling For Soup, Kelly Clarkson, Pat Green, Rascal Flatts and Toby Keith!!

[Country Way of Life ACCOUNT DORMANT @CountryWOL]

It's worth a listen.

@MarissaRMoss You mean Sister Rosetta?

The term 'comes at me' supports the notion that nobody can have an opinion without expecting an argument.

Christian is absolutely right that radio seem to have gone lukewarm on Kelsea and Maren, whose eyes are less on Nashville these days than elsewhere.

This went ELEVEN singles deep over the course of three years. It was the last true blockbuster of the pre-digital era.

It joins Hysteria, Back in Black and Waking Up The Neighbours as a Mutt Lange masterpiece.

[Absolute Radio Country @ARCountry]

Happy 25th Anniversary to @ShaniaTwain's album 'Come On Over'. The 15th biggest selling album in the UK, of all time. 👌

This is why Twitter can be a circlejerk for country music fans on both sides of the aisle. It's almost impossible to be ambivalent about the genre these days.

It's also why this account will be archived at the end of the year.

[Craig Manning @FurtherFromSky]

I will never get over the fact that country music currently has one of the best generational classes of female talent of any genre ever, and the powers that be are still just like, "Nah, let's play 50 mediocre white dudes in a row."
