I've seen a lot of artist comment on this lately. Ronnie Dunn has been pretty active on his Facebook about his disliking of current country radio and recent Gary Allan said something similar.
For me it feels like modern country has lost it soul. Too many newer artist are trying too hard to be popular with pop crowd. Sure, they may sing about driving a pickup truck, but it feels like to me their doing it because that's what expected of "country" artist, and not because they want to. Just my two cents, and at least i still have acts like Alan and Randy and for newer groups I can listen to Red Dirt and Texas Country.
